FAIRHOPE, Ala.—Fairhope defensive back Desmond Samuels signed with Stillman College. At cornerback he finished with 120 tackles, three interceptions, 25 pass breakups and three forced fumbles for the Pirates.

“I like Stillman because they have such a rich history,” Samuels said. “Love that they are a close knit group. They seemed like family, like we already knew each other and it felt like a good fit for me. They recruited me to play corner but I just love to play so wherever they need is where I’ll be.”

He plans to major in sports management. The Tuscaloosa Tigers compete in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
