From the Houston area, Isaiah Essissima has committed to play for the Deacons. Per Conor O’Neil’s story from the Winston Salem Journal, Essissima had originally committed to play football for the University of Houston Cougars but was released from his National Letter of Intent as Dana Holgorsen took the position after the December signing period.
Essissima is a three-star recruit per 247Sports, ESPN, and Rivals and also had numerous offers, most notably from programs like Boise State, Texas Tech, Nebraska, Illinois, and Iowa State.
As Coach Clawson described him, Essissima figures to be a “outstanding cover and instinctive corner” for the Demon Deacons.
Welcome to the family, Isaiah, and Go Deacs!
