LAS CRUCES – Mayfield senior running Isaac Vance will be a future Kent State Golden Flash.
Vance announced his verbal commitment to Kent State Monday night. He also had an offer from New Mexico State.
“What really led me to Kent State was just the coaching staff,” Vance said. “I really love the coaching staff. The campus is beautiful. And for me, something that was huge was their offense. Their offense has a chance for me to be in the backfield, to be at slots and to be put out on the edge. And they get their hybrids the ball a lot. They get those guys the ball quite often. I’m really looking forward to that and I would love that.
"And another thing for me is that I am really close to a church up there. Their (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) is phenomenal up there and I would love to be a part of that."
Vance is one of the state’s top running backs, and one of the top players in state. He rushed for more than 2,000 yards and 32 touchdowns last season and led the Trojans to the District 3-6A championship and the Class 6A state semifinals. Vance also helped Mayfield to a district title and a Class 6A state runner-up finish his sophomore year, in 2014.

Note: In another post (Paul Haynes is the right coach for Kent State), I stated that Haynes, as a Christian with biblical wisdom, has more than secular, intellectual insight, but has a spiritual perspective that far exceeds the secular outlook. Evidently, Vance saw the same spiritual qualities in Coach Haynes as I did and that was one of his deciding factors in committing to Kent State.
