Four Cougars confirm football plans

ASHEBORO — Four football players from Southwestern Randolph intend to play collegiately – and some of them will continue to be teammates.

They made those plans clear with Friday’s ceremony in the school gym.

Julian Mosley, Easton Gravely and Owen Whelan have committed to play for Guilford College, a Division III program in Greensboro.

Noah Stills is heading to Anderson University, a Division III school in Indiana.

Whelan played as a fullback and linebacker for the Cougars. Mosley spent time as a receiver and defensive back. Gravely is an offensive lineman.

Gravely, who has been among the school’s top golfers, and Mosley were also members of the Cougars’ boys’ basketball team.

Guilford has had a sampling of players from schools in Randolph County through the years. The Quakers went 3-7 last year, losing their final seven games.

Stills, a quarterback, had his commitment to Anderson announced by the school in early February after he announced his commitment to the program a couple of weeks earlier. He could be the only player from North Carolina on the team based on an early edition of the 2025 roster.

Anderson is a member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. The Ravens were 2-8 last year.

Southwestern Randolph has had three consecutive six-win seasons.
