The person that told me said he thinks it's almost a done deal and I don't want to mention his name in case he doesn't come here. The previous staff recruited him but don't think this staff has any connection to him.
John Montelus
Everett MA connection, also recruited by previous staff

Montelus would be a graduate transfer, and he's committed to Virginia.

If you are referring to whom I think you are, that ship has sailed.Is he from Southington???
John Montellus??? I think he only has a year or two left though. Was a defensive lineman that they switched to the offensive line.some people may get their but in form of an underclassmen transfer. I heard from a source Edsall & co have been sniffing around 1 in particular.
I like our chances over everyone except UCF and Jacksonville State since FL is his home state.. Would be a solid pick up for our 2018 recruiting class since that's when he'd be eligible to play.
Thanks bro.. I didn't look in too deep on that one... but like you said, that school is still a lot closer to home for him...FWIW, Jacksonville State is in Alabama. But yes, those are the 2 closest schools to his home.
