Chase was named Daily Leader All-Area as a senior defensive back. There he made 51 tackles and broke up two passes for a Wesson team that finished 8-2.
Offensively, Chase caught 19 passes for 302 yards and four touchdowns to earn All-Region honors.
“Kaleb is a very respectful, hard working and dedicated young man,” said Loy. “He helped our team tremendously over the last four years. His qualities that helped him be a starter and major contributor to our team will carry with him and I have no doubt he will do great.”
