What is Witcher looking for in a school?
"He touches on that periodically," his uncle said. "It's not just for sports, but he's looking at it academically, that's my main thing with him right now. If he can get a full ride, that's even better."
On the field, Witcher earned all-conference honors.
"He's been playing since he was a freshman," he said. "He's been progressing every year. He's improving every year, getting faster, better and his reading of the plays is improving overall.
"He is driven, he strives to do the best and gives 110% on the football field."
