Fort Bend ISD’s Athletic Department, along with Professional Football Players Mothers Association, hosted its spring National Signing Day at the Wheeler Field House on Friday, May 5, 2017. One hundred and thirty FBISD students from all 11 high schools signed their national letters of intent to further their education and continue their athletic career.
FBISD’s Director of Athletics Rodney Chant opened the ceremony by recognizing the students, staff and District leaders. Board Trustee Grayle James and Assistant Superintendent Joe Rodriguez both delivered opening remarks congratulating the student athletes on their success and wishing them the best as they head to the college or university of their choice.
Terrance Jerod “T.J.” Ford, a former professional basketball player and 2001 Willowridge High School graduate, served as the guest speaker. Ford spoke of his early days in Fort Bend ISD, and how his career took off in college. After entering the NBA Draft in 2003, he would ultimately go on to play for teams such as the Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers and the San Antonio Spurs. Ford talked openly to the students about the pressures they might face while in college and how to remain healthy and focused.
After Ford’s speech, the coaches from each high school took to the podium to introduce their athletes and announce the college or university they will be attending.
Check out the full list of all the FBISD student athletes who signed their letters of intent below. For additional photos of each school, please see our Media/Newsroom page.
