Interesting and happy to see — Case Western Reserve just landed a 1st Team All-Ohio DE who had a scholarship offer from FCS Butler:

Welcome!

That makes two All-Ohio 1st team DEs. The one I posted earlier, Kaden Tong, is from a DI program and also reportedly had an offer from Valpo, another Pioneer Conf team.

Also this 6'4 290 OL https://twitter.com/pkelly___

Umm... that would be real interesting since Butler is in the Pioneer League and does NOT offer athletic scholarships. Maybe he had an academic scholarship.

His twitter post merely said "offer" not scholarship. I do see a number of prospects who are being recruited by both CWRU and Valpo and Butler.

Kind of like an offer from a D3 school? You show up and pay room, board and tuition and we OFFER you space on the practice field to see if you can play? Look, I'm all for kids celebrating their achievements. Happy to see anyone rejoicing in their signing day. But a non-scholarship school, whether it is DI or DIII, is offering you admission to the school. That's pretty much it.

And to the same point commitments don't really mean anything unless the player shows up and enrolls, even if the commitment is a tuition deposit. Sometimes those "offers" are conditioned on admission to the school.

Anyhow, this stuff keeps us d3 geeks off the streets and thinking about the upcoming season. It is also interesting to see what other schools a player has considered.

Here's what a CWRU "offer" looks like.

I had a son "offered" by Butler. It was basically the HC telling him he had a roster spot if he wanted it.

2019 season cut short by injury? He reportedly had two ACL tears in HS.

Since he only played in two games in his sophomore season, I believe that would be considered a redshirt year in FCS whether medical or not, so he would have 3 years eligibility remaining.

Those are definitely two good "gets."

Been wrong before.  Will be wrong again.

Neat shoutout to the incoming players and families.

Case Western Reserve is again announcing via Twitter 2 incoming players a day, along with high school / state they're coming from:

I have identified 37 players who have had commitments posted on social media. Of those, 28 have been welcomed on Twitter, which I presume means that they have deposited tuition. With several players who have expressed interest via twitter and the usual surprises, this class could number in the 40s. That would rival the 44 that entered in 2017 This class is a big step up from the last two with only 25 players each. Several All-Ohio players are in this group and overall there are a number of good sized players at OL, RB, DE, and QB.

Cool history fact for the Spartan fans out there.

Article from Forbes highlighting the 1918 college football season, and Case Tech received an indirect shout out:

The 1918 season was also noteworthy for the head coaching debut of Knute Rockne. The 30-year-old's first game in charge of the Notre Dame sideline, following four years as an assistant in South Bend, was a late-September victory over Case Tech (known today as Case Western Reserve) in Cleveland.

Case Tech actually played Notre Dame, Michigan, and Ohio State that season.  The Notre Dame game was home in Cleveland.

Case is not the only school to play some "big"schools.
Mount Union, over the years, has played: Michigan,Michigan St.,Notre Dame, Ohio State and Pittsburgh.
