Hoban's Brian Slack
commits to Miami
Archbishop Hoban senior Brian Slack has orally committed to continue his academic and football careers at Miami (Ohio) University, Hoban coach Ralph Orsini said.
Slack, 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, played tight end and defensive end for the Knights. He was a Division II All-Ohio special mention last fall. He also earned first-team honors in the Northeast Inland district and in the North Coast League.
''They like to throw the ball and utilize their tight ends,'' Orsini said of the RedHawks. ''Miami is one of the top programs in the Mid-American Conference. Brian is probably one of the best tight ends in the state. He catches the ball really well and he blocks really well.''
Slack had 25 receptions, 320 yards and one touchdown last season. He also had 52 tackles and 4.5 sacks.
Orsini said Slack also considered Toledo, Ohio University, Eastern Michigan, North Carolina State, Michigan State and Illinois.
''When he visited [Miami] . . . , he fell in love with it,'' Orsini said. ''I think it will be a real good fit for him.''
