"SO WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO COLLEGE?"

2025 EDITION

April, 2025

Every year I write a story about where guys are going to college. I am going to continue this post each and every year. This is the 2024 edition. This story is a celebration of this year’s seniors and where they are taking their athletic and academic talents. Malvern Prep does an incredible job of helping guys continue their playing time at the next level. For the size of the school Malvern places athletes in college at a higher rate than many other area high schools that are two to three times larger than Malvern’s enrollment. My hope is by posting this information/story that it will save the guys endless hours of repetition. Call it a public service announcement.

Okay, we have all been there. It is spring of your senior year and the $64,000 question which everyone who has ever known you on planet Earth wants to know, “Where are you going to college?” Think back to your senior year in high school, especially graduation parties, and recall how many times you answered that question AND how many times you had to explain your answer. It usually lasted 15- 20 minutes until you finished, BUT, you repeated it over and over and over again until the cows came home. You repeated your explanation to aunts, uncles, cousins, distant relatives who you have seen once in your life, neighbors, friend of neighbors, the postman. Okay I admit to going overboard just a bit, but I think you get where I am going with this.

Malvern Prep Seniors Class of 2025

This article has 2 parts. The 1st part is senior football players and where they chose to play next year. With the transfer portal and NIL, who knows what the future holds for them. One thing I do know, as Malvern guys, whatever they do and wherever they finish, I am confident that they will represent themself, their family, Malvern Prep and the Malvern Prep football legacy. Part 2 is the multi-sport athlete. Malvern football has had great success over the years because some of their best football players played another sport in college. Football was their secondary not primary sport. This year was no different. These players excelled at both, a true two for one deal.

Take a look at the range and quality of schools these Malvern Prep student-athletes chose. They are to be congratulated on a job well done.

More to come....
