WATCH: This is the best commitment announcement you’ll ever see
Published:
The Early Signing Period is all about the student-athlete. It’s a day when every player’s hard work, dedication and talent is rewarded by making a commitment to further their academic and athletic careers.
It’s a day all about those accomplishments.
But on Wednesday morning, one recruit decided to include one of his closest friends to share the moment. And it resulted in one of the best commitment announcements you’ll ever see.
Cooper Dawson, a 3-star defensive end out of Charleston, South Carolina, committed to Syracuse on Wednesday morning, signing his National Letter of Intent. But he wasn’t the one who made the announcement. First he told his close friend Kingsley Feinman where he was headed, and Feinman relayed the news to the rest of the audience.
Why did Dawson elect to go this route?
“I brought Kingsley out here because he’s inspired me a lot in the ACL process,” Dawson said. “He taught me the only disability is a bad attitude. If he can come around every day with this big ol’ smile, I can do it just the same.”
This really is the best video you’ll see all day. Syracuse is getting a good one.
This is one of the greatest signing days you will ever see. Hanahan’s Cooper Dawson picks Syracuse- but does it by first telling close friend Kingsley Feinman. Kingsley announces the decision- Dawson adds that Kingsley taught him the only disability is a bad attitude. @ABCNews4 pic.twitter.com/3OGJzJmlXg
