Three East Forsyth football standouts recently signed their national letters of intent to attend school and play football at the next level.
Brayden Cresimore will go to Lenior-Rhyne University, Kenyon Smith will be at Catawba College and Jaylin Murry will be at Gardner-Webb University, East Forsyth Head Coach Todd Willert said.
“All of them had other options. That is why they did not sign on signing day. They were still figuring out where they wanted to go,” he said.
Willert believes Cresimore has a bright future at Lenior-Rhyne.
“Brayden was our kicker and back-up punter last season, and he was the (CP 4-A) Conference Kicker of the Year. The previous season he was our holder and he did the kickoffs. Most of his kickoffs were touchbacks, and he can hit 50-yard field goals, but he never had to last season,” Willert said. “He is extremely smart in the classroom.

Lenior-Rhyne is excited to have him. He has a big leg, and he is a great person and a great student. They think he has a chance to play right away. I think they just want him as a kicker, but they wanted to make sure he could punt too.”
Smith’s senior season ended due a broken leg in the fifth game of the season against Mount Tabor. However, a number of schools saw enough of his potential in his junior year to recruit him.
“Kenyon was our inside linebacker before he got injured. It was a tough way to end his high school career. He worked very hard and is now ready to go. He has done what he needed to do, and he came to every practice and every game,” Willert said. “He was conference Defensive Player of the Year as a junior and he was all-state. He is so versatile for us….
