PTL! St. Peters and Christian Brothers Football Stars Commit to Hobart

The New Jersey Independent Press recently published that SR DL Brian Rabasca will attend Hobart College.  Rabasca and his brother Michael (who will be attending nearby Ithaca College) were Co-Captains of an 8-2 Saint Peters Prep, one of the best prep teams in NJ.  A copy of the article can be found here.

Rabasca has good size (6'2" 250 lbs) but his career stats appear somewhat limited (only 35 career tackles according to MaxPreps.com).  It also appeared as though his SR season was cut short by injury (only appeared in 7 games).  Time will tell if he'll work his way into a starting position in college, but being Captain of a team like Saint Peters shows he has the leadership skills to be successful.  More info, including pictures of Brian can be found here.

Speaking of brothers, Christian Brothers Academy (Albany, NY) SR QB Troy Anthony is planning on attending Hobart.  Anthony and his younger brother Max helped lead the Brothers to an 8-2 season after moving to the Capital Region from Glastonbury, CT.  A link to a Times Union article about CBA, Troy and his family can be found here.

Maxpreps had some "technical difficulties" prior to the publishing of this article, but what I recall is that Anthony is a solid overall athlete (6'1 197 lbs) and probably could play several positions in college, including QB.  Below is a picture from a game vs. rival LaSalle.  That night he threw for 188 yards (on only five completions!) and two TDs in a 50-14 dismantling of the Cadets.  Anthony's CBA highlight reel can be found here.

Both of these young men seem like great additions to the Statesmen. Welcome Brian and Troy to the Hobart Football family!  Go 'Bart!
