Roosevelt lineman Jonathan Lopez
Recruiting
“Right now, I have an offer from Kentucky Christian University, which is an NAIA school. I have interest from Florida A&M, North Carolina A&T, Towson, and a few others.”
What schools are you planning to visit this fall?
“Right now, visit wise, I don't know who I’ll visit yet. I am pretty sure as the season progresses I’ll know who will actually take interest and I’ll decide to visit those ones.”
What schools are recruiting the hardest?
“Right now, it would be Towson and Florida A&M the most right now.”
......................................................................................................
St. Vincent Pallotti athlete James Patterson
Why did you end up picking Buffalo?
“The atmosphere and I liked all the coaches. Plus one of my coaches went there. I’ve been going there since I was younger. It just felt right.”
What schools are still recruiting you?
“Navy, Ohio, and Army.”
Are you going to take any other official visits?
“I don't even know yet. I have to discuss that with my brother and parents.”
Do you know when you’ll take an official at Buffalo?
“No, not right now. I am not really worried about hat. The main focus is the season.”

Dundalk quarterback Darrius Sample
Recruiting
“The only coach that has been hitting me up lately is one from Stoney Brook.”

St. Vincent Pallotti quarterback Brandon Stewart
Camps
“I’ve been to Columbia, West Virginia Wesleyan, Lock Haven Monmouth, Dickinson, and a couple of showcases. I feel like I did good things and was one of the top performing quarterbacks there. I really was able to show what I could do.”
Feedback
“I received feedback from a lot of the coaches. They were talking about some of my mechanics, how to increase my deep ball, and making quicker reads that will help during the season.”
Recruiting
“There has been emails and hard mail from Lock Haven, Millersville, West Virginia Wesleyan, Virginia State, Dickinson, Muhlenberg, but the highest is Monmouth. It is the whole spectrum from Division I-AA to Division III schools.”
Recruiting the hardest
“There is not one school that is constantly in contact with me or anything.”
Visit?
“I know I want to visit Columbia for sure. We just had a conversation about finding a school with Marine Biology. We want to find a school with a good Biology or Marine Biology program.”

Recruiting the hardest
