A former resident of Philadelphia who now resides in Tupelo, Isaiah Autry, is a talented football player who has received many offers from colleges and universities all over. His latest offer was from Auburn University. He plays on theItawamba Agricultural High School football team.
His mother, Pashen Thompson-Dent, feels he is blessed to receive this offer! He is certainly one gifted football player who will have several choices of where to further his education after high school. His grandmother, Ruby Thompson-Brazzle, is a Philadelphia resident and one of his most ardent fans!
