INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Police Athletic League (PAL) club recently congratulated a past participant on receiving a scholarship to Illinois State University. Bryce Jefferson started playing with the PAL club football league at age 7. Bryce played football for the PAL club until he turned 13. During those years, he was introduced to great leaders, mentors, and coaches that saw his potential and helped him develop on and off the field.
Bryce continued to play football for Perry Middle School during his 7th and 8th grade years and then onto Decatur Central High School. He was the starting quarterback for his freshman team and continued to excel as the starting quarterback through his senior year. He helped the Hawks to a 10-2 record and passed for 2,027 yards and 24 touchdowns during his sophomore and junior year. He continued his success during his senior year rushing for 1,322 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Bryce just received a full scholarship from Illinois State University to play football. He will begin his collegiate career at Illinois State University in June 2018, but not without playing in the High School Hula Bowl, in July, in Hawaii.
