And this is not over. Michigan is already hot on the trail of four of New Jersey’s top football players, including Don Bosco lineman Tyler Friday, St. Peter’s Prep defensive back Shayne Simon and Irvington quarterback/athlete Jasiah Provillon. Will they all go to Michigan? At this point, anything is possible.
Meanwhile Rutgers and coach Chris Ash have yet to make a deep impact in this neighborhood. Getting St. Peter’s Prep quarterback Johnathan Lewis was a coup, but the school needs to be more effective getting kids to stay in New Jersey. Michigan and Boston College each have coaches on staff with North Jersey connections that are paying off. Syracuse is rising as well.
Rutgers just hired Jerry Kill as offensive coordinator. The former Minnesota coach has been successful and has a Big Ten background, but his hiring didn’t create much of a ripple here. To me, Bergen Catholic head football coach Nunzio Campanile is an ideal choice to join the Rutgers staff in some capacity. He would bring a good offensive mind and every North Jersey contact in his phone.
