Chose Akron over offers from Pitt, Maryland, and UConn.

Blurb from the Pittsburgh Tribune.

Too bad they don't know our coach's name.

Looks to be another great get!

Wonder if Kincade had anything to do with it?

I am going to go out on a limb and say yes.

From Trib article linked above...

“I was already interested in Akron, but once I heard Chandler committed, I definitely wanted to go check out the school,” Boxen said. “You want to look where other people find a good fit.”

That's two 3-star recruits before July 15th. This is by far the earliest I ever recall Akron receiving a verbal from a 3-star player, let alone two of them.

Way to go Coach Bowden!

Go Zips!

He's got to be pretty high up there in the "best football name" category.

I'm bullish on Boxen! Keep the momentum rollin' baby!

Scout lists him as a 275lb guard.

Rivals as a 250lb DE.

247 as a 300lb DT.

I understand that the position depends on what he is best projected or being recruited as. But the weight difference is ridiculous.

Either way it sounds like a nice pickup.

Watching his scout video, he looks like a great talent at DE, I don't see him at DT.
