Thorsby senior Kevin Brasher on Tuesday signed to play football for Faulkner University in the fall.

Brasher’s ceremony in front of some family and friends in the school library is proof that hard work can go a long way.

“His work ethic is second to none,” Thorsby coach Billy Jackson said. “You couldn’t ask for a better kid.”

Brasher said he visited Faulkner a couple of weeks ago and liked “the coaches—just all the people down there,” he said.

Faulkner coach Duane McWhorter said Brasher’s grades are more evidence of his willingness to work.

“The first conversation I had with his coach, he talked about his work ethic and he talked about that he’s a good person,” McWhorter said. “Secondly, he’s a good football player.”

McWhorter said he envisions Brasher playing the slot receiver position in the Eagles’ offense.

Brasher was a starting strong safety and backup fullback for Thorsby.

Jackson said he thinks the role will suit Brasher.

“I think he’ll do well for them,” Jackson said.
