JAGS CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATIONS AT THE FOUR YEAR LEVEL

OUR GOAL IS 100% PLACEMENT OF OUR SOPHOMORES!

The student athletes below are moving on to the next level in their education. All have received varying degrees on aid from a FULL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP to need based financial aid. We are continuing to push to get the remaining players placed.

The important point to remember is that SWC players were ACADEMICALLY READY to accept the university offer to play football and attend their school. The success is in large part due to the players focus on taking transferable units. That has hit home through our counseling department, specifically ED COSIO who has seen numerous football players this past spring and fall semesters.
