RECRUITING: BC Offensive Line Gets Bigger

It's still early in the recruiting process for Division III schools with the higher divisions only recently having their national signing day. But that hasn't stopped Bridgewater from receiving commitments from two - big - offensive linemen.

DCSportsFan.com and Gazette.net reports that Good Counsel's Pat Wilson will attend Bridgewater this coming fall. The 6-foot-5, 260-pounder anchored an offensive line that helped roll up 4,095 yards and 45 touchdowns for an average of 30.2 points per game. Good Counsel, located in Maryland, finished the season 10-2 and runners-up in their conference playoffs.

The News Leader reports that Jeremy Fox, the starting center for Riverheads (13-1), has committed to play at Bridgewater this coming fall. The Riverheads were Virginia's Group A (Div. 1) State Champions this past fall. The 6-foot-6, 270-pound lineman earned All-State honors his junior and senior seasons, as well as being ranked as the No. 76 best player in the state of Virginia by The Roanoke Times.
