Recruiting Roundup: Pingree
The Pingree School of South Hamilton, Mass. has been on a steady climb in recent years, as coach Mike Flynn has continued to boost its profile in the NEPSAC scene. The Highlanders usually have a good number college prospects on campus, and that is true now. So we called up Flynn to get the lowdown on his top players. We started with the outgoing 2023 class and offensive lineman Theo…
Harvard offers Catholic Memorial OL Brandon Sullivan
For a first Division 1 offer, this one had to be pretty special for Brandon Sullivan. The Catholic Memorial offensive lineman announced on Twitter Friday that Harvard offered and became the first D1 school to pull the trigger. Sullivan, a New England Football Journal Second Team All-State selection, is a junior, or member of the 2024 class. He plays guard, and that is the position he projects at on the…

A lot of those players came under coaches John DiBiaso and Theluxon Pierre, but current head man Rob DiLoreto has kept the tradition going. Currently, DiLoreto has someone who is one of the top players in the region. That is wide receiver and defensive back Christian Zamor, who is verbally committed to Boston…
Carlo Crocetti commits to Holy Cross
Holy Cross struck with a big local commitment from Carlo Crocetti, who announced the pledge on Twitter Tuesday. Crocetti, out of the 2023 class, did a post-grad year at Loomis Chaffee after a strong career at Xaverian. This season, Crocetti saw his recruitment pick up among Ivy League schools, and Holy Cross was on him throughout. Crocetti is an intriguing prospect, and one of the reasons for that is versatility….
