College Spotlights/Next Level Lists are presented by Legacy Structures – ‘What’s Your Legacy?’

Every year, we love seeing the local players that find themselves on college rosters. This season, we have found the following who now can be seen competing at the college level! This includes athletes for volleyball, soccer, XC, golf, and rifle. We have a separate football list. We have identified about 105 of the other fall sports. By school: Banks (1), Commerce (4), Dawson (5), Franklin (7), Habersham Central (17), Jefferson (21), Lumpkin (7), Rabun (5), Stephens (8), Tallulah Falls (12), Towns (2), Union (4), and White (12).

NOTE: If we missed someone please email us and we’ll be sure to add them in. We cross-checked with each college roster. If that player is on the roster, they’re on the list.
