Possibly a Logan Thomas type decision in his future, as the football/basketball college athlete is becoming a dinosaur. If he chooses football it will likely be because he believes his chances to play in the NFL are greater than the NBA. All else being equal, why risk your brain cells? Play hoops.

Woah! Now that's getting next year's class off with a bang! I assume he will be playing QB again for his HS team, so if he develops in the passing area, they can always reconsider his position, but this kid is an ELITE athlete. Frankly I expect schools to continue going after him for both football and hoops.

Is this the new normal? Trump was wrong, I'm not tired of winning yet.

Let the record show that he picked the Flames over a certain ACC school just up 29 that offered him a few weeks back.

And in case you want to see the full text of commitment:

For the moment, Liberty's 2019 class is ranked 65th. I'll take it.

What a great start to the 2019 recruiting season by getting that Kicker and now this stud of a 3 star WR. These junior days have been huge and I also think the construction happening sends a message to the recruits that we are serious about football. There is a kid Christian harris who is a 3 star DE from Chattanooga, TN who is very HIGH on us and could be the highest rated player to ever commit to LU ever. Things looking good!

Do you have any information on Christian that you can post on this forum?

After reading his comments here: https://247sports.com/Article/College-F ... -116257274 I'm thinking if the football thing doesn't work out as a career for C.J. he may have a future promoting Liberty University. Certainly looks like a rock hard commit.

CJ Yarbrough has decided to close his college football recruitment.

The Tanner High wide receiver has given a commitment to Liberty, picking the FBS newcomer over offers from Virginia, Troy and South Alabama.

Yarbrough, a 6-foot-3 and 195-pound rising senior, is rated a 3-star prospect by 247sports.com.

“They’ve got something special going on up there,” Yarbrough said. “People kind of overlook the school, but I love it. To me, the campus and town (in Lynchburg, Virginia) is like paradise.”
