Josh Hannum, PA football-track star who
announced for Notre Dame earlier, has decided to stay home
and go to Penn State instead after all the coaching shuffle
under the Golden Dome. A trip to Happy Valley cinched it.
DaBryan Blanton, US#1 at both 100 and 200 meters last
year, has orally committed to Oklahoma for
both track and football. As a gridder, Blanton rushed for
6,265 yards and 94 touchdowns and was the Dallas area offensive
player of the year in 2001. The Dallas Morning News reported
that Blanton chose Oklahoma over Texas Tech, Tennessee, LSU,
Miami and Texas A&M.
Other new choices:
Dan Harding NJ - Princeton
Lauren Graff MD - Georgia Tech
Kevin Bookout OK - Oklahoma (US#1 shot putter 2001)
Michelle Rorke NY - Williams College
