Tecumseh’s AJ Bryan, others declare to play at the next level

National Signing Day is a day high school football players around the country look forward to for a couple of reasons.

It’s a day they get to celebrate going to play at the next level, but it’s also a relief as the biggest decision of their lives so far is now behind them.

Northwood has been high on Bryan from the start and the Timberwolves were his first offer more than a year ago. In fact, Bryan was the first player Beurer offered after taking over the program.
