Interestingly, 16 of the 31 offers are to players south of D.C. And of the seven PA recruits, only two are from eastern half of the state. Very unusual geographic pattern so far.

The Bison received a commitment from Rick Mottram 6-2 225 lb LB (NJ) - Allentown HS. Also a TE/FB. Was the Trenton Area DPOY and 2nd team All-State Group IV (large schools).
Rick Mottram is the Trenton Defensive Player of the Year
"A linebacker, Mottram was second in the state in tackles with 143. As a sophomore he was in on 138 tackles. This season he also came up with four fumble recoveries, had one interception and two sacks.
A junior, he also played offense. As a short-yardage back he ran 42 times for 348 yards and eight touchdowns. At tight end he made eight catches for 220 yards and two touchdowns."

Interesting that 50+ HS players from Michigan are attending the Ohio State camp Friday and then the Bison camp Saturday. I wonder if there was some coordination involved between Susan and OSU associate head coach Greg Schiano.

The Bison received a commitment from Alex Twiford 6-3 230 lb TE (PA) from Wilson HS. He caught 33 passes for 460 yards and 3 TD's. Also rushed for 5 TD's as a short yardage FB. Wilson went 9-1 during last year's regular season before losing in OT in the second round of the AAAA playoffs.
Twiford was a recruiting target for the Bison, having received his offer back in February. He also had offers from Cornell, Robert Morris, and possibly others.
He was recently named to the PA coaches list of top rising seniors. Was All L-L league the past two years

They weren't on Bucknell's radar, but Bison WR Marcus Ademilola's younger brothers both just committed to Notre Dame. Jayson is a 6-foot-3, 285-pound DL, and Justin is a 6-3, 240-pound OLB. The two are twins and rising HS seniors.

I had seen that earlier today - but can find no confirmation. Bitikofer's twitter account, which confirms his offer, has nothing about a Bucknell commitment. I am skeptical.

Thanks. Biticofer is a fairly big pro style QB. Listed in some places as 6-3 200. As a junior, he completed 122-219 (56%) for 1609 yards and 22 TD's vs only 3 INT's. Carried the ball 47 times for 152 yards (which includes negative yardage from sacks). Only has been his team's punter for two years.
Highlight video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL7glcDgzHg
Bitikofer plays for New Philadelphia HS (OH), which is in Ohio's Division 3 (out of 7) and is located about 90 miles west of Pittsburgh. South of Canton. Team went 8-2 last year in the regular season, and then lost to a very strong team in States. The two regular season losses were also to good teams.

Commitment from Justis Peppers, 6-5 300 lb OL/DT from VA. Had offers from New Hampshire, Liberty, VMI, Cornell, and a few D2's.
https://twitter.com/justispep/status/7801 622284902...
BU's biggest recruiting need - except perhaps for a stud QB - is for players on the OL and at DT, so this is a nice commitment.

After watching the game on SAT with VMI attempting over 50 passes with no Bison sacks (0), I would say anyone who can rush the passer is the top recruiting need. DB's can look good or bad depending on whether the QB is hurried or sacked. We had little to no pressure all day.
Hopefully, the new recruit you list here is related to Julius Peppers!
And how do our kickers keep getting injured, both punter and PK? Strange and important.

I was thinking the same thing. There's little contact involved with kicking, especially in practice. In fact, we seem to incur an unusual number of practice injuries compared to other PL teams. Is it related to the coaching style or are we just that unlucky?

I think part of it is simply bad luck, since it varies a lot by year. As for the kickers, the starting punter and place kicker is the same guy - Alex Pechin, who made 1st team All-PL as a frosh. He got hurt during warmups prior to Cornell. I'm assuming some sort of pulled muscle or groin injury, but I have no idea. The freshman on the roster, who was All-Pennsylvania last year, got hurt sometime prior to the opener and hasn't suited up yet.
The current junior class had a very good kicker in it - Connor Feehan from Virginia - who reportedly had won the starting job in preseason camp as a frosh. But unfortunately he developed a serious foot problem, tried to kick through it, had his season shut down, and need serious surgery with a long recovery period. He transferred out at the end of the year and I have no idea if he has played football again.

Given the success of our women's soccer team, maybe Coach Susan should recruit one of them as a PK.

Comparing injury levels across the PL haphazard at best given the differing disclosure policies. At Lehigh unless it is a starter unlikely we will ever hear about it.
