News should break on some previously unannounced recruits in the aftermath of "Signing Day." In the interim, add fullback/linebacker/placekicker Pat Scorah of St. John's College High School in Washington, D.C., to the commit list.
The 5-foot-8, 196 Scorah ran 12 times for 87 yards and three touchdowns last fall, with a 55-yard burst in his final game. Those stats are from the Washington Post site, which does not give a clear indication whether he was hurt the rest of the season. ... The school web site has a capsule on Scorah and says he was elected one of the team's tri-captains "despite the fact that he missed a good portion of last season due to a torn ACL suffered during a preseason scrimmage." That sounds as if it happened his junior year, but it's possible captains were named after the season and they are talking about last fall.
The site also says he has a 380-pound bench. He's a two-time winner of the team's Sportsmanship Award.
It's not unusual for Dartmouth (and other Ivies) to land players who were slowed by injury and so were overlooked by some bigger programs. If Jay Fiedler's knee hadn't been hurt as a high schooler, he may not have ended up in Hanover. Similarly, Dartmouth reportedly has another (still unannounced) running back who is coming off an ankle injury in his season opener that cost him his senior season.
