First things first. The "early signing period" for college-bound football players began at 7 this morning and runs through the end of the week. The Ivy League does not use the national "letter of intent" and therefore does not participate.
That said, Ivy League early decision announcements went out last week. With the early decision announcements pretty much coinciding with the early signing period it's not surprising that Ivy-bound football players get mixed in with those who are actually signing scholarship offers in media reports.
All of that leads to this: a NorthJersey.com listing of seniors from the northern part of the Garden State making their college football choice official. The list includes four seniors headed to Ivy League schools with one to Princeton, one to Harvard and two to Dartmouth.
Headed this way per the story are Charlie Looes, a 6-foot-2 1/2, 255-pound defensive lineman from Pascack Valley High School and Hillsdale, N.J., and John High, a 6-foot, 270-pound defensive lineman from Bergen Catholic High School and Montvale, N.J.
Watch Looes in action HERE and check out High's highlights HERE.
Dartmouth has seven or eight early decision players headed this way. Stay tuned for the updated list.
