Cambridge Christian has announced two NCAA Division I signings that will take place at the Central Tampa school next week.
Wednesday afternoon in the school’s gym, Olivia Yeager will become the first volleyball player from CCS to sign with a D-I program when she inks a letter of intent with the Naval Academy. Wide receiver Damarcus Faison will become only the second Lancers football player to head to a D-I football team when he signs with Liberty University, an FCS (formerly I-AA) program.
In 2008, Lancers star running back Taylor Cabral was the first CCS football player to sign with a Division I program when he inked with Campbell University.
Last season, the 6-foot-5, 190-pound Faison hauled in 36 catches for 529 yards and four touchdowns.
The 5-11 Yeager averaged 5.3 kill shots, 1.4 blocks and nearly one ace per game last season. Her entry into the Naval Academy was sponsored by local state representative Gus Bilirakis, Lancers assistant athletic director Chad Goebert said.
