For the past 10 years, Kylee Hart has given his all to the game of football.
The Colleton County High School senior saw his dedication to the game pay off this week when he inked a scholarship to play football for Division II Erskine College in the Conference Carolinas in Due West. Hart verbally committed to the Flying Fleet on February 4 and will join the newly reinstated program in its inaugural season.
As a four-year veteran of the Cougar football program, Hart spent three years as a varsity starter in several positions but found his niche at fullback. He was honored with the Heart of the Cougar Award following the 2019 season.
“I sent my film to be viewed by the coaches at Erskine,” said Hart when asked about the recruiting process. “I was academically excepted to Erskine. Lane West, who is a friend and formal Cougar, spoke to the coaches about me. Once my film was viewed, I was also offered a football scholarship. I look forward to being back on the field with Lane in the upcoming season.”
