Marcus Singletary of Hinesville has signed a letter of intent to participate in football and basketball at Tabor College for the 2007 and 2008 seasons.
“Marcus Singletary brings experience, size, speed and athleticism to the Tabor football program,” coach Mike Gottsch said. “He will create that instant high level of competition with a solid group of secondary players.”
