East juniors Jemarulin Suggs and Deandre Brimage have decided to stay in their hometown for college, after both committed to play football at the University of Akron.
Suggs and Brimage are both members of East’s boys basketball team currently under coach Murray L. Hooten III, but their best sport is football.
“I think this is a great opportunity for them,” East football coach Marques Hayes said. “Those guys are extremely hard workers. They have put the time in and they have been patient with the recruiting process. They have talked to numerous schools and both like the University of Akron.
