BC beats out Virginia
As most expected, Virginia lost out on New Jersey tight end Chris Pantale this weekend.
Pantale, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound recruit from Wayne Valley (N.J.), gave a verbal to Boston College over the weekend.
In his senior season, one that included an appearance in the state title game at Giants Stadium, Pantale had 26 receptions for 385 yards and six touchdowns.
Virginia, one of 15 schools to offer Pantale, had hinted that using Pantale at defensive end was also a possibility. The open-ended option made sense - Pantale had 16 sacks.
Perhaps the Cavaliers saw the writing on the wall on this one. They did, in fact, offer and land Highland Springs tight end Rod Wheeler earlier this month.
