The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle's "Varsity Voices" blog reports that Aquinas Institute (Rochester, NY) SR DE/OL James Hedger has committed to come to Hobart. Hedger, 6' 2" 240 lbs, helped lead the Little Irish to 17 wins over the past two seasons. In 2012 he served as Co-Captain and was named to the All Greater Rochester First Team in his final HS season. Aquinas is considered a dynasty in NY state given it's 82-27 record and two state titles, the last earned in 2010, over the past 10 seasons.
The Statesmen know the Aquinas program very well as SR OLB and Co-Captain Devin Worthington was a four year varsity letter-man and three time All-State selection for the Irish.
While Hedger also played guard, it appears as though he'll specialize on the defensive side of the ball in college. As a DE for the Irish he tallied 40 tackles, five sacks and two interceptions - one which was returned for a TD - and a 54 yard fumble recovery in 2012.
Check out his highlight reel here. I was impressed. This kid makes plays.
Please join me in welcoming James to the Statesmen Football Family.
Go 'Bart!
PS - 72 days until kickoff....
