Williamsville South High School's SR OL/DL T.J. Scamurra recently tweeted he'll be in the Hobart College Class of 2016 playing football for the Statesmen. Scamurra played center for the WSHS Billies leading the OL and helping WSHS to an undefeated regular season and Section 6A South conference title. Although the Billies eventually fell to Sweet Home (of Amherst, NY) in the Sectional finals at Buffalo's Ralph Wilson (aka the Bills') Stadium, they otherwise had a very successful 9-1 season.
From the looks of it, Scamurra is a tough drive blocker who had a tendency of serving up pancakes (i.e., flattening blocks) to opposing defensive lineman. He's also a solid pass protector and seems to have no problem working in a shot gun formation. Williamsville's QB Trent Ferguson passed for almost 200 yards per game behind the blocking of Scamurra and his OL teammates. T.J. also handled snaps on FGs and special teams assignments as well.
At 6' 280 lbs, Scamurra will bring great size and strength to the Statesmen OL who recently graduated two centers, Jarrid Blades '12 and Kelvin Cruz '12. His highlight video is below:

Scamurra won a number of All-Conference and State recognition for his efforts on the gridiron, but he's not just a good athlete. T.J. also received National Honor Society status at WSHS so he's a good student to boot.
Scamurra wore #54 in HS and it's available given the graduation of Kyle Sandy '12 so look for Scamurra as #54 in your programs and on the field for the Statesmen.
Welcome to Hobart T.J. (and keep serving up those pancakes)! Go 'Bart!
