A LB from New Jersey commits too

Leo Krizanovic, a 6-foor-2, 240-pound linebacker from Paramus (N.J.) Catholic, also committed to UMass Tuesday according to MSGVarsity.com. Krizanovic chose UMass over a handful of Colonial Athletic Association schools.

Krizanovic had been pursued by FBS schools before tearing his ACL as a junior. Paramus Catholic coach Chris Partridge couldn't be reached for comment, but he praised Krizanovic in an October article.

“He’s like a throwback. You know, an old-school, blue-collar tough guy. He’s a hard worker, and he just wants contact,” Partridge told North Jersey.com in October. "Someone at the I-A level is going to make him an offer, grab him and be very happy about it,” Partridge said. “He’s a big-time player. I believe we can be watching him playing football on TV next season.”
