Doors Opening for Chattooga Pass Rusher, Luis Medina

Fresh off of his second consecutive appearance in the GHSA Wrestling State Championship Finals and his first heavyweight title, Chattooga Indians defensive tackle Luis Medina, 285 lb 6’2”, is hitting the recruiting trail as college football coaches across the nation have been singing his praises. Medina picked up offers from Florida Atlantic’s Coach Lane Kiffin along with UAB and Troy this past week and will be heading to the University of Louisville this week for an official visit. “Playing at the next level would be an honor for me,” said Medina. “It would be a reflection of all the work I have put in throughout my high school career.”
