Hobart lacrosse recruit considering a return to the gridiron

Brendan Kessler, a senior at Red Lion High (York, PA), is a lacrosse standout at midfield/attack and has made a verbal committment to Hobart College to play lacrosse and attend school in the Fall of 2011.

Aside from being an All-American in lacrosse, Kessler also earned YAIAA Division I all-star honors after racking up 1,030 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.  He also lead his team in tackles as a safety.  Apparently Kessler had offers to walk-on at Temple, Towson and St. Francis, but fortunately for Hobart, he chose to stick with lacrosse.

That said it's no surprise that Coach Cragg and the Statesmen football team are also VERY interested in this student-athlete given his size (6' 4") and DI caliber speed. 

There is a long tradition of two-sport lacrosse / football players in Geneva, most recently Mike Lazore '11 and Justin Hager '09 starred in both sports for the Statesmen.

Hopefully we'll see Kessler give DIII football a try prior to joining the Statesmen's DI lacrosse program.
