Big win, big commitment
Football
Beat up your fierce rival. Then take a prized recruit from other division foes.
That constitutes a good weekend in College Football Land.
James Harvey, a defensive end from Cochranton, Pa., committed to the Zips Tuesday over offers from Buffalo and Ohio, Rivals.com says.
His 6-foot-4, 262-pound frame seems to suit the defensive end position perfectly in the 3-3-5 scheme. He's big enough to plug the run, but also has a little speed to come off the edge and rush the passer.
That brings the total number of commitments to four, according to Rivals and Scout.
