Westlake Football Players Sign Letters Of Intent For College Ball

WESTLAKE, OH — Three Westlake High football players signed letters of intent to play collegiate football on Wednesday. All three players will continue their athletic careers at Division I programs.

Jackson Gregory, an offensive lineman, will head to the University of Louisville in the fall. His two teammates, Kevin Walls and JJ Coleman, committed to the University of Akron Zips.

Gregory was a four-year letter winner in football, and a two-year letter winner in lacrosse. During his tenure at Westlake, he twice named All SWC Honorable Mention and 2nd Team All SWC. While playing for the Demons, he played both offensive and defensive line. At Louisville, as a Cardinal, he'll focus primarily on the offensive side of the ball.

Gregory plans to major in exercise science at Louisville.

Coleman accepted a preferred walk-on spot at Akron. He led the Demons in rushing each of the past two seasons, with 2,000 yards rushing each year. He has been named an Honorable Mention and 1st Team All SWC player during his Westlake career.

Coleman plans to major in business at Akron.
