timsum1283 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 According to scout.com, Casey Estrada (OT 3 stars), Aaron Williams (WLB 2), Jake Anderson (DT 2), and Joe Rash (DE 2) visited the University of Akron on December 1st. The level of interest was medium for all except Estrada who showed high interest in the program. Estrada is from Sacremento, California and is also interested in Wyoming which he will visit on the 8th.Aaron Williams from Pittsburgh, PA is also interested in Buffalo and Toledo but has not set up visits with either of them.Jake Anderson from Erie, PA has already visited both Connecticut and Ohio in late november. This 6-6, 275 DT could make an impact next year with Reid and Gonzalez both leaving.Joe Rash has gotten offers only from the Zips and Buffalo but only Akron had set up a visit with him. Rash is from Penn Hills SHS, the same HS as David Harvey.Hopefully some, if not all of these prospects will be making their decisions soon and choosing the Zips. Quote
rocketfootball Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 Aaron Williams has offers from Akron, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh, plus interest from Marshall. Pittsburgh was showing interest, but backed away. He has narrowed it down to Akron and Toledo and will decide between the two. He visited Akron this weekend, and has an official visit setup with Toledo for next weekend, even though Scout.com doesn't list it. Rivals has shown him with high interest in Akron and Toledo for quite sometime, and I believe they show visits to Akron and Toledo as well. I heard he will decide between Akron and Toledo shortly after his visit to Toledo next weekend. Rocket true freshman strong safety Barry Church is one of three former Penn Hills players starting on defense at UT (true freshman Archie Donald and junior Tyrrell Herbert are the other two), and Church has been urging Williams to come to UT. We lost to outside linebackers to graduation this year, All-MAC Mike Alston and backup Michael Chamberlain. He will have a good opportunity to play right away next season at UT.If Akron lands him, your staff deserves props and you will have truly out-recruited Toledo for this one. I will be the first to give you guys congrats.That said, I know you have ties to Penn Hills too so I would not be surprised to see you land him. Quote
zipboy Posted December 3, 2006 Report Posted December 3, 2006 Thanks rocketfootball, are you guys looking at him at RB? Quote
