Georgia College trio preseason All-PBC

Signings

Three FPD baseball players can relax a little bit during their senior seasons with their futures planned.

The trio signed letters of intent on Thursday morning. Barrett Barkley is head to the Big South and USC Upstate, a former conference rival of Mercer. Parker Ingram, also the Vikings’ quarterback the last two seasons, will battle Peach Belt rival Georgia College when he suits up at North Georgia. And Hudson Mimbs is headed up I-75 to Atlantic Sun member Kennesaw State.
