Many years ago ohio state recruited doug worthington out of st francis. The story was that our HC at the time, Jim Tressel, was college roommates with ilios dipaolos son. He would come to buffalo sometimes and ended up at a couple st francis games. There was also a kicker from canisius that came to osu a few years ago. I cant remember his name but he was the #1 HS kicker in the country at the time. Paul woods out of canisius was highly recruited but I believe ended up at Rutgers

Former saints and patriots end Will Smith went to my high school in Utica.  Won a Super Bowl with the saints, was an all American at Ohio state and is in the saints ring of honor and hall of fame.  
 

 

RIP. His son is at ohio state now.

Considering  New York state is barely borderline a top 25-30 HS football state

 

And buffalo hasn't had a four-star prospect in years this is not a small feat

 

Even our top players like gronkowski went to Pennsylvania to finish their career 

 

We don't have a lot of 4* guys in Buffalo who stay their entire high School career

I feel like that’s the story more and more with kids in states that don’t have spring football. The south and west coast just dominate recruiting. Even the freshman RB Bo Jackson that we have now at OSU; he’s from Cleveland and that was actually surprising. Most of our skill players are from Texas, Florida, Cali

Yes! Wow that name was in an archive somewhere in my brain. He was pretty good. But I think he got injured

Elijah kimble 

 

Current JR at Canisius HS... A 4 star top 15 ranked running back nationally with offers from Ohio State and Michigan and Georgia and basically everybody 

 

Been watching in the last 3 years and this kid is showing that big time players can come out of Western New York without transferring to a ohio or Pennsylvania school 

 

Good luck in the playoffs canisius!

 

And good luck Elijah!

 

Buffalo/WNY are starting to churn out consistent D1 players

 

Do we know any more about this kid? Where he grew up, etc?

When I saw the title of this thread, I assumed he must be a basketball prospect. It didn't even occur to me that a blue chip football player was coming out of Buffalo.  

 

Really cool.  Good for him.

That's right... Will Smith was murdered in a road rage confrontation... sad story.

 

He had a reputation as a really good guy if I recall correctly.

He is City born and raised 

 

Was at tapestry charter in the city before canisius... He was already a star in the making before his freshman year at canisius 

 

He could have went to any private school in the area or left the state but he wanted to stay home and build a legacy

 

And canisius has a track record of getting kids to FBS schools recently
