DCHS Senior Nick May signed a letter-of-intent Friday to play football at Thomas More College in Crestview Hills, Kentucky.
May’s mother, Cathy May and brother, Josh May joined him for the signing along with his coaches and several of his Tiger Football teammates.
May was awarded linebacker of the year at the Tiger Football team banquet in January for his performance on the field during the 2017 season. May was also named to the All Region Team and received the Coach Clay Edwards Memorial Tiger Pride Award.
“I chose Thomas More because ever since I first went up there to visit it just felt like home. It has a really homey atmosphere. I got that feeling the first time I stepped on campus. I made a game day visit and I visited in January. It’s a small campus so pretty much everyone knows each other so it feels kind of like home and being in a small town. I will be playing middle linebacker and defensive end. How hard I work this off season will determine if I will be able to play on the field on Saturdays,” said May.
“This is the third guy this year we have moving on to play at the next level. Nick is a very special kid and I am very excited for him and his family to be able to share this day. I look forward to watching him learn and grow as a collegiate football player. The biggest thing about Nick is his willingness to do whatever we needed him to do. Coming into his senior year, he played on the offensive line and defensive line but for the rest of his career he was a linebacker and running back. What he was willing to sacrifice to do what we needed him to do, that is what makes him really special. He is a smart kid and a tremendous worker so I think they are getting a good football player at Thomas More,” said DCHS Tiger Coach Steve Trapp.
In March Bradley Miller signed a letter of intent to also play for Thomas More College while in February, Gage Delape signed to play at Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky.
