The college football world can’t stop talking about an awesomely-named recruit who committed on Monday to his college of choice.
Relatively-unknown recruit Rowdy Beers announced he will commit to FIU on Monday. Beers is a tight end who attends Valor Christian High School out in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Despite his obscurity, Beers became an instant sensation after his announcement.
His announcement, which appeared on his Twitter account, read, “All glory to God!! Committed!!! I would like to thank my parents and my coaches for the sacrifices they made and making me the player and person I am today. Paws up!!!”
