Overland multi-sport athlete Alijah Halliburton announced on Twitter Sunday that he has committed to the University of Wyoming to play football.

In his senior season with the Trailblazers, Halliburton totaled 125 tackles, including five for a loss and two sacks. He averaged 12.5 tackles per game.

He also picked off one pass and returned one punt for a touchdown, his sole score of the year.

Halliburton is also a key contributor on the Overland basketball team. In the team’s season-opening win over George Washington, he scored 19 points while pulling down seven rebounds. In the spring, he competes on the track and field team.

He is the latest football commit for the Class of 2016.
