Battle will play his senior season at St. Joseph's high school after transferring from Gill St. Bernard's over the summer. Battle, who originally committed to Michigan, pledged the Orange over the summer. Battle is ready for a big senior season, but has recently seen his ratings drop over recruiting services. Many believe the reason for the rankings drop was due to the foot injury that Battle suffered in his junior year of high school.
