Minerals Springs Hornet standout Rahmaij Ware signed up last week to play linebacker with the Arkansas Tech University Wonder Boys.
Ware is a two-time All-State player with more than 100 tackles during both seasons at linebacker. As a sophomore, Ware missed half the season with a broken ankle, but still managed to finish third on the team in tackles and even earned All-District status. Ware, who also excelled in the classrooms, was recruited as part of the first class of newly-appointed Wonder Boy Head Coach Roy Thompson, who is the former defensive coordinator from Ouachita Baptist University.
Outgoing Hornet head coach, Jason Hathcock, said in his 17 years of coaching that Ware may be the most instinctive linebacker he has coached. “He has a knack for getting to the football and is sideline to sideline.”
