Lisbon’s Gavin Wollum will be playing football with the Central College Dutch next season, as he signed a letter of intent Thursday, March 24.
Wollum, as a quarterback for the Lions, completed a 38/73 passing attempts in the 2022 season, for a total of 456 yards. He carried the ball 101 times for 487 yards.
Lisbon head coach Phil Whitman said he was proud of the hard work and determination that Wollum contributed to the football team in his four years at Lisbon.
“I really look forward to seeing what he does at Central in the next four years,” Whitman said.
Wollum said he plans on majoring in engineering at college. When it came to why he chose Central, he said Lisbon’s Truman Krob is currently playing at the same college and has had good things to say.
“One of the things I enjoyed when I visited the campus this fall was the way they huddle up after every play, on offense and defense to call out what worked well and what needs to improve in the next play,” Wollum said.
He revisited the campus in January and February this year to meet with many of the coaches.
Wollum said he had to thank his mom for being his number one supporter, and his dad for teaching him a lot of his athletic skills.
