Ling has received several football awards and accomplishments including Athletic Director Award, Positive Athlete Nomination, Dream All-American Bowl, "Top Performer"/"Best Results" at summer camps and broke his school track record. Academically, Ling has a 3.5 GPA. He currently has three athletic and two academic offers but is still searching for a D1 offer closer to home to stay near his mother who is terminally ill. His best offer is from Wingate, a D2 school. An interesting fact about Ling: his nickname is White Lightning, due to his fast speed on the track, and artist, Jon C., released a song in his honor, called “White Lightning."
