McKeesport stars bonding over recruitment

Posted Jul 27, 2010
McKeesport's Branden Jackson and Delvon Simmons, two of the WPIAL's most highly recruited football players, have at times turned their college search into a joint effort. Nearly a dozen schools have offered scholarships to both players, so the two seniors have been able to compare notes about college coaches and campuses. The two have considered committing to the same college. But they each have more recruiting trips planned. Illinois, Iowa, Louisville, Michigan, Michigan State, UNC, Rutgers and Syracuse also have offered scholarships to both. (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)
