Durin National Signing day on Feb. 4, several Hornets football players announced their commitment to move onto four year colleges.

Head coach Tim Byrnes will surely have some big spots to fill next season with nine different players taking advantage of university offers. Headlining the group are quarterback Joey Verhaegh, defensive back Marnez Ogletree, and linebacker Jarrot Thomas. All of whom were starters and greatly impacted games last season.

There will certainly be more signings throughout the Spring, but here is the early list of players that will be departing FC.
