Terrence Isaac Jr., the son of Green Oaks High School head coach Terrence Isaac Sr., is going to be one of the next stars to come out of the Giants’ football program fulfilling his dream of playing college football. Isaac is part of a key core of seniors that plan on taking the Giants deep into the postseason after reaching the second round in 2019.
This 6’0”, 180-pound, play-maker caught 41 passes for 691 yards in his junior campaign and after the season won several individual honors including first team All-District. Isaac does a great job of getting off the press to get past defenders then uses his Velcro-like hands to snag any ball around him. This Class of 2021 prospect currently has three college offers and is also drawing interest from some other big-time programs including Baylor.
Isaac not only works hard on the field and in the weight room but also in the classroom where he currently holds a 3.8 GPA.
In a Recruiting News Guru catch-up interview, I caught up with Isaac to discuss his career at Green Oaks and his recruiting process.
