The 2014 season banquet, coaching moves and all the exciting post season news around the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafting Ali Marpet '15 has kept me a little behind on updating Hobart fans around new incoming student athletes.
Although Head Football Coach Cragg will announce the incoming class this August before preseason camp opens, there were a couple of articles I found online over the past couple of months that I wanted to share with you Statesmen and D3FB fans.
The first mention from the Class of 2019 came from Shoresportsnetwork.com reporting that OL/DL Pat Cino from Red Bank Catholic (NJ) committed to attend Hobart back in February (likely via Early Decision).
Cino has great size for a HS SR, standing 6'2" and weighing in at 300+ lbs. He helped his team earn an impressive 11-1 overall record for supposedly the third best HSFB program in the state of NJ! He played in every game and tallied 35 total tackles, including one TFL and three QB hurries.
You can check out Pat's highlight reel on the attached link. Pat's size definitely helped him at the HS level but he may need to develop a faster first step in order to become a starting college player.
The Times Tribune (Scranton, PA) reported that Abington Heights HS DB/WR Jake Henzes will join Cino as part of the Statesmen FB program this fall.
Henzes had 31 receptions for 378 yards and three TDs during his 40 game HS career. He also tallied 32 tackles and two INTs on defense. While Henzes has typical D3FB size at 5'11" 175 lbs, he is pretty fast clocking in a 11 second 100m and 22.7 second 200m as a sprinter for the Comet track team this spring. He also stars on the AHHS track team and he earned All Academic honors for a 3.0+ GPA!
A link to Henzes highlight reel can be found here. The tape shows me a player with a good motor and closing speed who isn't afraid to be a physical hitter.
I will post more information on new recruits as word comes in. The second annual FB Alumni & Friends Golf outing is scheduled for July 25th in Geneva. Contact OC Coach Jon Drach for more information!
Thanks for reading and go BART!
