Plant defensive back Keenan Stalls, who produced a standout senior season to earn a starting spot on the Panthers’ Class 8A state championship squad last fall, has made a verbal commitment to Kent State University, Plant head coach Robert Weiner confirmed Thursday.

Stalls is the second Panthers player this week to make a commitment, following offensive lineman Nathan Shienle, who made one to Tulane.

Stalls also had scholarship offers from Bethune-Cookman University, Virginia Military Institute and Presbyterian College but chose the Golden Flashes after a visit to Ken State’s campus last weekend in Ohio.

For the season, Stalls finished with a team-high six interceptions and also produced 66 tackles, 20 passes defended and a sack.

Kent State competes in the NCAA’s Division I (Bowl Subdivision for football), and the Mid-American Conference East division.
