BOILING SPRING LAKES—Methodist University in Fayetteville has one of the best sports medicine programs in the state. On Friday, Michael Collin Bruton, whose interests lie in that area, signed a letter of intent to play football for that university.
Bruton, a bruising 6-foot-2, 235-pound offensive tackle helped lead the Cougars to more than 4,000 yards on offense and more than 40 points per game. The starting left tackle was awarded, along with his fellow offensive linemen, the game ball just before the first game of the playoffs.
