College Recruiting Seminar

On Wednesday Nov. 30 at 7pm at the Box Elder High School Auditorium there will be a seminar put on by Paul Putnam.  "College Recruiting Simplified" which is sponsored by NFL Players Assoc. and ESPNrise.  He is a national college recruiting speaker.  It is recommended for any players who are planning to play college football and also for their parents.  It is very educational and he will give each player/parents who attend access to a website that will give more information about the recruiting process.  It is a 1 hour seminar and Paul will be available after to answer questions from players and parents.

Note: Because of the purple and white wrestling match there will be a second seminar at 8:30 for the wrestlers and volleyball players, who are having their banquet.  He will shorten it and will be available after to answer questions.
