With his indoor track and field season on hold due to a bone bruise, wide receiver Isaiah Sategna has had a bit more time this winter to focus on his national recruitment. The two-sport standout at Fayetteville High School has amassed 20 Division-I offers over the course of a year.
"It's been a disappointment (not being able to participate in indoor) but I know God's got a plan for me, I'm just trusting that," Sategna said. "Recruitment's been pretty good. It's been time consuming, I didn't know it would be like this. It gets annoying sometimes but would you rather have 10 coaches texting a day or zero?"
Once the 2021 class was officially signed, Sategna noticed a big push from programs who now turn their attention to the 2022 class.
"My top schools right now are Florida State, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Arkansas, Texas A&M, USC, Missouri and Oregon," Sategna said.
IN HIS OWN WORDS:
On destination location: "Whenever I'm thinking of making a decision, I don't think I'll end up living in that city, my goal is to be there for 3-4 years and then hopefully make it to the league. So my decision is about finding the best place to set me up to make it there."
On playing both sports: "I've had a couple schools that told me they don't want me to run track but none of those are my top ones."
