Bullard student and athlete Ryan Rumbelow is committed to play football for Baylor University.

"When I was a sophomore me and a friend of mine, Larry Prentice, would always talk about getting scholarships together," Rumbelow said. Now that his friend has passed away, he said this is his way of honoring him.

"I'm carrying on the dream," Rumbelow said.

Rumbelow plans to major in pre-law. The fact that the university offered law was one of his deciding factors.

"As much as I'm happy for him to have this opportunity I'm sure I will miss him just as much," Taylor said. "He's a great kid."
