    This kid may be just what the Dr. ordered,a fast strong kid who can line up effectivly as a lineback and linebacker, perfect for a 3-4

    Much like Laub does now. If Laub can be consistent next yr,he and Ripanti and Caslow are an excellent foundation for LBs.On paper ,a lot of depth here. Buskirk,Olshanski and Favoroso look to bolster and perhaps improve group.

    The South/Central Florida pipeline strikes again!

    Huge get in my estimation. Athletically, he was probably my #1 choice. Right now, he is a good sized linebacker but I would love to see him eventually put on about 20 lb and play DE.
    I would love to see if Olshanski and Favoroso push for PT next year. I love Caslow and Ripanti’s play but they are simply too light to play IL (both are around 210)

    The wrestling connection is interesting. Last night on RCN the commentators for the Easton/Parkland match noted how many wrestlers were just getting into shape due to football, but that there is a great correlation between football and wrestling in that each sport compliments the other in skill learning. Wrestling makes a tougher player, and football helps the player with his coordination. Looking forward to see this kid in action from what I read.

    Story the other day in his hometown paper (TCPalm.com) says he will not wrestle:

    “He suffered an injury in nationals last year (the NHSCA National Championship wrestling tournament),” Chuck Favoroso (dad) said. “He could play football with it, but we thought it would be better for him not to wrestle. … his body has never really had an opportunity to heal. This was a heartbreaker for Chris. It was tough.

    “He currently has football offers from Lehigh, Navy, New Hampshire, Penn, South Florida, Southern Illinois, Stetson and Tennessee State and is drawing interest from many other programs.”

    Good commit IMHO.

    He was No. 5 on the newspaper’s Top 11 list in April, when it showed schools showing interest as Army, Syracuse, South Florida, West Virginia, Yale.

    BTW: No. 11 on their list was a kicker who does not need a holder. Check this video out: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152351294760882

    Wow. Nice video. What a steal for Lehigh. Turned down some big time offers and Ivy. I can see this kid stepping in right away. Would be hard to keep him off the field. I hope someone doesn’t flip him by signing day. They’ll be coming for him.

    Always a risk with the really good recruits. Unusual combo for Fl,great football,academics and wrestling. Be appears as athletic as Ripanti and Caslow. Guess Andy is pushing for his goal of better recruits. Need it to continue for the rest of this class.
