Wakulla, Taylor County Communities Have Ties To Super Bowl

Posted

TALLAHASSEE, Fl. (WTXL) - For fans of Florida State football, rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday's Super Bowl should be easy. Four former Seminoles are on the roster, including former Wakulla War Eagle Nigel Bradham.

The Eagles also have another local tie, as Taylor County's LeGarrette Blount is on the team. 

The Wakulla and Taylor County communities are excited for Sunday's big match-up. Wakulla High head football coach Scott Klees remembers Nigel as a kid, calling him a "man among boys."

In Perry, Ed Harvey coached Blount in high school. He said he knew Blount, who is looking for his third Super Bowl ring, was destined for great things.
