Looking at local football signings
We've known for some time that Gilman offensive lineman Hunter Goodwin (Wake Forest), Boys' Latin defensive end Marco Jones (Virginia) and Owings Mills offensive tackle Donovan Smith (Penn State) would sign with Football Bowl Subdivision schools today.
We also found out today that Gilman athlete Darius Jennings was bound for Virginia. At around 2:45 p.m., Calvert Hall safety Adrian Amos will become the fifth Baltimore-area player that signs with an FBS school, when he decides on either Connecticut, Penn State or West Virginia.
But those five weren't the only local football players to land college scholarships. Here's a list of the expected signees from the area:
| Player | High School | College |
| Gabriel Ali-El | Poly | Valparaiso |
| Brian Anthony | Atholton | Maine |
| Joseph Blackwell | Arundel | Georgetown |
| Ryan Caruso | Howard | Bryant |
| Charlie Clark | North Carroll | Lafayette |
| David Coffin | South River | Monmouth |
| Ben Curtis | Calvert Hall | Delaware |
| Demitri Dennis | Reservoir | Monmouth |
| Gilman | Wake Forest | |
| Ed Hunt | Arundel | Monmouth |
| Stefan Janik | Calvert Hall | Towson |
| Darius Jennings | Gilman | Virginia |
| Marco Jones | Boys' Latin | Virginia |
| Joe McCargo | Old Mill | Towson |
| Dan McManus | Eastern Tech | Bucknell |
| Phil Rhoden | Long Reach | Shepherd |
| Donovan Smith | Owings Mills | Penn State |
| Brandon Soderstrom | Century | Bryant |
| Spencer Sutton | Calvert Hall | Towson |
| Isaiah Taylor | Hereford | Fairmont State |
| Poly | Bryant | |
| Edwin Thomason | Chesapeake-BC | Bryant |
| Dan Yarborough | Calvert Hall | Shepherd |
There are three other local players headed to Navy, while five more have committed to Ivy League schools. Commitments to service academies and the Ivies do not sign letters of intent.
Glenelg running back Colin Osborne switched to the Mids from James Madison last month. He'll be joined in Annapolis by Old Mill running back Demond Brown and Archbishop Spalding defensive back Shelley White.
Future Ivy Leaguers from the area are: Poly’s Dexter Davis (Penn), McDonogh’s E.J. Conway (Yale), Boys’ Latin’s Michael Turner (Cornell), South River’s Blane Kleinrichert (Brown) and Lutheran’s Jay Davis (Brown).
Comments
Two things that are extremely disappointing with regard to this list:
1) Not one player on there is going to Maryland
2) There is not one guy from Loyola Blakefield on the list (lots of Calvert Hall though)
Sad.

One thing:
That list has about 4 players that were even offered by MD.
The rest are 1AA recruits.
