Brooklyn Tech sends wide receiver to Fordham University
When he was in ninth grade, Lawrence Menyah had never even stepped on a football field. On Wednesday, the Brooklyn Tech wide receiver officially signed his National Letter of Intent to play at Fordham University the next four years.
“This is really special,” said Menyah, who expects to play safety at Fordham. “I never really thought I would be here. I used to look up to the older kids during their days like this, and I always wanted to have this chance. It’s a blessing to be here right now.”
Menyah, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound son of Ghanaian parents, arrived at Brooklyn Tech as a freshman and had never played football.
