Milligan College, Tenn. (Feb. 1, 2008) --- Daniel Foster, a standout golfer at University High School has signed a letter of intent to attend Milligan College and play golf for the Buffs. Milligan golf coach Tony Wallingford made the announcement.

Foster is a two-time TSSAA state tournament qualifier as well as a two time all region selection. Four times he has been named all conference and All-District in addition to being named conference player of the year as a senior. He has led UH three consecutive years in stroke average.
