We are more than 8 months away from National Letter of Intent day but that does not discourage recruits from stating their verbal intentions of where they would like to go to school. During these summer month a lot of potential recruits attend camps where college scouts can take a better look at the players and put faces to names. This is where the kids have a chance to set themselves apart from the rest. In the recent weeks a few have stated their intentions and below is a list of those players and where they verballed.

Jared Williams is a 5 foot 10 inch, 180 lb cornerback from Perry Traditional Academy in Pittsburgh PA. His 4.4 40 40 time will help the Panthers in the defensive backfield. He chose Pitt over Ohio State, Virginia and Iowa and said that his relationship with defensive coordinator Paul Rhodes was key in his decision to choose the Panthers.

The Iowa Hawkeyes recently picked up a verbal commitment from 6 foot 5 inch offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga from Woodstock IL . This 270 lb offensive tackle had upwards of 14 offers from school such as Michigan, Nebraska, Michigan State, Purdue, and Wisconsin. Bulaga can play both sides of the ball, and it is evident with his 90 tackles from the defensive tackle position last year but in college he will concentrate on offense.

As noted previously, Josh Marks from Catawissa, PA verbally committed to the Nittany Lions last week. Marks is a 6 foot 5 inch, 300 lb offensive tackle. Some say he quickness and agility to play the tackle spot in college and will be moved inside to a guard position. Marks is slated to be a Rivals.com top 100 recruit and chose Penn State over Pitt, West Virginia and Rutgers.

Finally the West Virginia Mountaineers picked up a verbal commitment from Donny Barclay. The 6 foot 4 inch offensive tackle from Harmony, PA chose the Mountaineers over Pitt, NC State, and Akron. Barclay thinks that the Mountaineers system fits in to his abilites and thinks that with a little hard work that he could fight for a starting position.
