Father Ryan senior Jeremy Darvin, No. 10 on The Tennessean’s 2015 Dandy Dozen, signed a letter of intent to play football at Western Kentucky on Wednesday.
Darvin, a 6-foot-3, 285-pound three-star defensive tackle, posted 54 tackles (seven for negative yardage), four sacks, four forced fumbles and a pair of fumble recoveries for the Irish.
Darvin, a Tennessean All-Midstate first-teamer, verbally committed to Western Kentucky on Sept. 30, choosing the Hilltoppers over scholarship offers from seven Division I schools, including Tennessee, Cincinnati, Louisville, MTSU and Navy.
Father Ryan teammate Bryce Vickers also signed on Wednesday, as he will continue his career at Georgia Tech as a preferred walk-on.
Vickers was an All-Region selection and represented Tennessee in the annual Tennessee-Kentucky Border War all-star game.
