Throughout the recruiting season, Bishop McDevitt senior Jameel Poteat has been constantly rated among the best running back recruits in the country.
This might be; I have not seen all of the running backs in the country.
But one thing I can submit without fear: He’s a better young man than he is a running back. And that ought to tell you something.
Articulate, tough (he runs inside a lot) and skilled, Poteat made the University of Pittsburgh happier today by announcing he would attend the University of Pittsburgh on a football scholarship. We cannot applaud the decision any more strongly than when we heard the news.
He is the second McDevitt senior to announce for a Division I school in less than a month. Quarterback Matt Johnson made the call for Bowling Green just a couple of weeks ago.
Any questions why McDevitt will be the consensus preseason No. 1 Class AAA team in Pennsylvania this year? (Actually, there are some questions, but we’ll save that for later. This is Jameel’s day, and he’s earned it.)
The brief from Andy Shay of The Patriot-News via pennlive.com is here.
This is good news for a fine young man and we wish him well. May blue No. 10 jerseys pop up all over south central Pennsylvania.
P.S. – Would have posted this earlier, but this was Hersheypark Day for the triplets. Nothing personal, Jameel.
