Warrior
Football Releases 2006 Recruiting Class
Six Local
Student-Athletes to Attend Lycoming
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. --- The 2005 season for Lycoming College football was
exciting to say the least. Finishing on a five-game winning
streak culminated by the 250th career victory for
head coach Frank Girardi gave the Warriors a chance to hit the
off-season running, eager to continue their run through to the
next campaign. The anticipation for the upcoming season led to
an outstanding recruitment period for the blue and gold as the
Warriors are proud to announce the 2006 freshman recruiting
class.
Six individuals
local to the Williamsport area comprise 34 of the in-state
athletes the Warriors will be adding to their roster. Central
Mountain High School is well-represented with wide receiver
Brad Shellenberger (37 rec., 793 yds., 12 TD), quarterback
Blake Barth (1,138 yds., 13 TD), and kicker Kyle
Miller (32 pts., 23 xp’s, 3 fgs.) selecting Lycoming.
Fullback Brett Lorson from South Williamsport High
School, offensive lineman Nick Calvert from Williamsport
Area High School, and defensive end Ryan Newhart from
Hughesville High school round out the local contingent.
The 2006 class
also includes one out of state athlete. Nick Tessener
from Millbrook High School in Raleigh, North Carolina, will work
his way in as a linebacker.
“I’m very happy
with the local talent we’ve been able to recruit,” said Coach
Girardi. “I feel they’ll fit well into the Lycoming style of
football. Overall, I like the athleticism and skill level of
this class. We have helped ourselves in the areas where we felt
we needed depth.”
