Lake Forest High School defensive lineman Scott Covert could be the first player of the coach Chuck Spagnoli era to verbally commit to a major college ahead of the season.
The coach said the 6-foot-2, 245-pounder is close to making his college intentions known.
According to the Rivals.com Web site, Covert is being recruited by Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Pittsburgh and Northern Illinois.
Covert’s father, Jimbo, was an All-American at Pitt before starring for the Chicago Bears in the 1980s.
Not to be confused with Scott Covert the artist who likes to do word maps of grave rubbings.
PITT should recruit nothing but legacy kids. That’s how you keep things in-house.
