Bassett High School senior Jacob Gilbert recently signed to play baseball at Shenandoah University.
“It’s surreal because I always dreamed of signing, and going to play baseball at the next level,” he said. Gilbert considers baseball as his favorite sport to play, noting that the ability to play baseball comes easier than basketball or football.
Gilbert visited the campus of Shenandoah University before making his decision to attend.
“They treated me really well; they are in the Top 10 in the nation, so I want to go play for them,” he said. “I’m looking forward to getting out there. I’ve always just been round Henry County.”
Gilbert plans to major in Sport and Administration Management, with a minor in business or Physical Therapy.
