Tyler. Verschure. DB. 5 8. 165. Valparaiso. HS. Ind
A-S (5A) at DB for the 2nd time. HS is State champ.
A decathlete in track. 10.93/100 Very high academic. Coming to Lehigh for both football and track.

More speed. Not very big for a DB, but I would expect a special teams target, and fingers crossed for for some more growth. A number of players have grown a couple inches after high school.

I'm not sure what to make of this commitment.

The young man is certainly athletic, playing 4 sports. What confuses me is that his announcement on X (unless I missed something) is for track and field. He had one other football offer that I know and that is from Div 3 Oberlin.

Only the future knows where he will end up here at Lehigh but the options are endless and I wish him all the luck in finding the exact right opportunity or combination. You can't teach speed.

[RichH]

Football is his 2nd sport. He is primarily a track commit.

[Justafan]

Just wondering Rich but is he then considered a PWO in football?

[RichH]

Probably not a PWO. A track recruit but likely not a "recruited" player by football coaches. A true WO .
If he was a "recruited" player any aid he gets is counted vs the schollie caps.
Most of what I've seen is about track and oh by the way he will go out for football..

Thanks Rich

That's good to hear. Doesn't count against the schollie cap, and perhaps is getting a schollie for track or a basic need based grant?
