Deptford Township High School senior Khi’on Smith, who has starred for the Spartans in both football and track, announced he is accepting a scholarship to continue to his football career at Shippensburg University.
Smith told The Sun he plans on majoring in criminal justice at Shippensburg. He announced his decision on Twitter after his latest round of college visits last week.
“I would like to thank God for giving me this opportunity to play the sport that I love at the next level,” Smith wrote in his tweet. “I would also like to thank my coaches for shaping me into the player and person I am today. In addition, I would like to thank my friends for the support they’ve given me over the years. Most importantly, I would like to thank my family for everything they have done for me since I was young. Without them, none of this would be possible. Without the love and support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Also I would like to thank all of the schools that have been recruiting me throughout this process.”
