APSU Sports: Austin Peay Football

Austin Peay State University GovernorsClarksville, TN – Dylan Ragsdale, who helped Clarksville Academy to a District 10-A football championship, has signed a letter to play football at Austin Peay State University.

The 6-1, 200-pound Ragsdale played both offense and defense for former Governor Todd Hood at Clarksville Academy. He earned Tennessee Sports Writers Association All-State honors as a tight end. However, the Governors believe his greatest potential rests on the defensive side.

He is projected as a safety candidate for the Governors. He scored on an interception and fumble return in the same game a year ago. He also has a deep-snapping background.

“We had him in camp last summer and we really liked him,” APSU coach Rick Christophel said. “The best thing about him is he is a really good athlete, a kid who can run. We are excited about him. He certainly can challenge for a back-up role for sure (this season). It now gives us six safeties (two at each position).

“I think he is going to be a real good fit for us. Hopefully, he feels the same about us.”

His signing brings the 2012 recruiting class total to 13.
