De'Mariyon Houston had a front-and-center seat for Signing Day.
It just wasn't his signing day.
Houston, one of the best wide receivers in the country, was an observer Wednesday afternoon at Millwood High School. He sat in the front row of the gym bleachers instead of behind the blue-and-red-draped table. He wore his uniform khakis and collared shirt instead of the colors of his future school. He watched as Marcus Major Jr. signed with Oklahoma.
Wednesday was a day many players around the country realized a dream. Signing that National Letter of Intent celebrates what they've accomplished while at the same time sealing a prime opportunity for the future.
