Pruitt signs with Berry College

Griff Pruitt, son of Steve and Jackie Pruitt, signed Friday to play football at Berry College in Rome this fall. Griff plans to major in science.

As a senior on the Stephens County football team, Griff played offense, defense, and special teams. He is also a starter on the Indians baseball team.

Griff says he expects to play linebacker at Berry College, and he says he looked at both Shorter and Berry College, but Berry has several advantages.

“Both Shorter and Berry College wanted me, so we went down and visited both campuses the same day. I met with each coach and they were both very nice. But Berry was better at everything. They have a great large campus, and they have a Chick-fil-A on campus so that helped my decision a lot,” Griff said.

Berry College is a Division 3 school competing in the Southern Athletic Association.

Last season, Berry had a perfect 10 & 0 regular season and captured their second straight conference title.
