MU football news: Manasquan center Jim Sullivan verbals to Monmouth
Jim Sullivan, center for the 12-0 Manasquan High School South Jersey Group II championship football team, told me Sunday night he has accepted a full scholarship to play football at Monmouth University.
Sullivan, 6-3, 280 pounds, a First Team Asbury Park Press All-Shore performer, said he had been offered a full ride by Wagner and had drawn interest from Holy Cross and Lehigh.
""I chose Monmouth because the coaches seemed like really good people, all the kids there I could see myself hanging out with, and because I'll get a good education,'' he said.
' Sullivan said he plans to major in the areas of business and finance. Sullivan is the son of Manasquan assistant coach and former Red Bank Regional head coach Barry Sullivan. And he was a happy Eagles fan Sunday night!!
My thoughts: With senior center Tom Mauro having completed his eligibility Sullivan, I imagine, could be in the mix next fall as a true freshman, though sophomore Andrew Musick (6-2, 285) was listed as Mauro's back up. Am not sure if Musick played this year. He did not see action as a freshman. Also, you never know if another returning O lineman could move over.
Guess we'll have more of a clue in the spring. Also, senior linebacker Mike Nunziato's father e-mailed me Mike would not be returning for a fifth year of eligibility.
