Tyler High School senior athlete Derrick McFall committed to play football at the collegiate level today. McFall was considering at least thirty schools, choosing from his final three, University of Colorado, UCLA, and University of Washington, to surprise his family, coaches, and teammates. A roar of applause erupted when he made his final pick, UCLA. Fun fact, Derrick planned the announcement for today because it is also his mom’s birthday, and they sang her happy birthday!
