Trinity Pawling & Tappan Zee Star Letizia Selects Statesmen

I hope you and yours enjoyed a happy and healthy Memorial Day Weekend. I was tied up on the home and work front for a bit, so thanks to Sean McGlynn '01 for sending along this recruiting news.

Last week, Trinity Pawling School (Pawling, NY) released their 2014 football student athlete college selections. Of the 11 players on the team with plans to pursue athletics in college, PG RB/WR Joseph Letizia selected Hobart College. A link to the release can be found here.

Letizia will be at the least the third Statesmen with TPS ties on the team this fall. (Rising) SO LB Zach Thorton and SO OL Matthew Mancuso are also TPS alumni.

Letizia also played SS at TPS, but my guess is the coaching staff have him teed up to remain a RB. The Statesmen's roster currently has five RBs listed, which isn't a lot, especially considering Hobart's "I" style of offense.

Letizia originally hails from Rockland County, having starred in football at Tappan Zee.


Starred may be an understatement as Letizia racked up an incredible 4,234 yards, 56 touchdowns, and 367 points over his four year career, earning Player of the Year, All County and other awards.

Please see this article from the "Varsity Insider Sports Blog" for more information on Letizia's accomplishments.

Please join me in welcoming Joseph to the Hobart family. Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
