Caught this in the local paper. Don't know much about him, but, he has good size for a TE and he was being recruited by both Rutgers and Penn St. I will check him out in the fall as Mahwah is just up the street from me and I think they play the local high school here. ( I have lost track of who plays who in HS football as NJ just went to 5 football divisions and re-grouped schools based on attendance).
H.S. football: Mahwah's Ben Hartwick accepts Connecticut offer

The Record
Ben Hartwick of Mahwah, who projects as one of the top tight ends in North Jersey this fall, has accepted a scholarship to the University of Connecticut.
Rutgers and Penn State also were courting the 6-foot-6, 230-pounder, but the Huskies were the first to offer. Hartwick, who has great hands and is quick for his size, made some big plays for the Thunderbirds last season, even though he was banged up a little.
"He just went there for a visit and loved it," said Mahwah coach Jeff Remo. "It's a great fit for him because Ben is more of a tight end/wide receiver type, and in their offense, they like to slash the tight end out."
