Bryant Defensive Lineman Transfers to Hobart

Adam Novak '14 will don #97 and suit up as a defensive tackle this fall for Hobart according to HWSAthletics.com.

Novak transferred in from Bryant University (RI) and originally hails from Longmeadow, MA.  The 6' 2" 270 lber was a two year letterman at LHS helping his team to consecutive league titles and MA "Super Bowl" state championships.  He also starred on the basketball team which won the Western MA State title.

Adam's dad, Peter, was a former college football player at American International (Springfield, MA) and also coached at the University of New Haven (CT).

Although DT is where he is listed on the roster as of today, I hope the coaches give Novak a shot at DE given the Statesmen have several returning players at DT but no returning ends.

Regardless, I'd like to be the first to welcome Adam to Hobart.  Looks like the defense will be very strong with the number of recruits coming in at LB and the defensive line.

Just over 100 days until kickoff vs. Dickinson....GO HOBART!

Update - Novak appears to have decided against transferring to Hobart as he no longer appears on the Statesmen's roster (8/12/11)
