GAINES TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — East Kentwood student-athletes Corinne Jemison and Logan Brown have both received scholarships to play collegiate sports. That hasn't stopped them from competing at a high level in other sports.
Brown is an offensive lineman who will continue his football career at Wisconsin in the class of 2019. Nineteen Division I schools (including Michigan, Michigan State, Western Michigan and Central Michigan) recruited the 6-foot-6, 285-pound lineman, with 17 of those giving him an offer.
While football may be the sport Brown will compete in at the next level, he's also defending a state championship in another sport this weekend: shot put.
"I like shot because it's you and the ring," Brown said. "If I mess up, it's on me. If I do good, you're the one who did super good."
Jemison has a similar story. The 6-foot-3 senior is an All-State volleyball and basketball player who will continue her volleyball career with Miami of Ohio in the fall.
