Former Journal News player of the year Tyrae Woodson-Samuels and a bevy of other CHSAA senior star have made their college choices. I’m compiling a list of seniors and where they have committed to school, so if you have anything to add to this list shoot me an e-mail at jthomson@lohud.com. Obviously, there are a few guys still missing.
For now, here’s a look at the CHSAA players I’ve locked down:
Gary Acquah, Mount St. Michael: As has been reported earlier, the big inside linebacker gave his commitment to D-IAA Holy Cross earlier this year. He chose the Crusaders over Delaware and Temple.
George Apostolopoulos, Iona Prep: Like Acquah, the two-way lineman committed earlier this year (but I wanted to include them). He’s headed to D-IAA Fordham.
Mike Dunkley, Iona Prep: The RB/DB who also played a key role for two seasons on the Gaels committed to American International College (AIC) in Springfield, Mass. AIC is also in the same conference as Pace and Saint Anselm, the Northeast-10 Conference.
Andrea Gigi, Stepinac: The lineman will play at Alfred University, a Division III school in a strong conference — the Empire 8 — that includes Ithaca and Hartwick.
Morris Hilton, Iona Prep: The LB who anchored Iona’s defense has not solidified his future destination yet but will likely join Woodson-Samuels at Saint Anselm.
Jeff Mack and Greg Gadson, Iona Prep: They seniors are both likely headed to prep school. In fact, Gadson, a lineman, has already chosen the Berkshire School in Sheffield, Mass. Mack, Iona’s star running back, has not made his decision yet.
James Mullen, Stepinac: The senior wideout will play at King’s College, a Division III school in Wilkes-Barre, Penn. Mullen will be one of the players in the first class of new coach Jeff Knarr.
Josh Powell, Stepinac: The steady contributor on both the football field and basketball court will play football at D-III SUNY Morrisville. He played receiver and safety last year for the Crusaders.
Tyrae Woodson-Samuels, Iona Prep: The QB who helped the Gaels win the 2008 CHSFL championship has committed to Saint Anselm, a Division II college in Manchester, New Hampshire. Among Saint Anselm’s opponent’s each year is Pace, so local football fans will have an opportunity to see Woodson-Samuels play again in the future.

Did any players recieve scholarship offers? meaning they got there education fully payed for through football. Theres a difference between commiting to a school, and choosing a school.
public school players???
any fordham prep players?
Great to hear about these local kids. Reality is end the result. Delusional loud mouths like iona prep crazed have zero credibility and this proves it. All we heard was D1 this and D1 that. Yeah ok.
Fact of the matter is any college should be applauded. No need to carry on when in the end the truth comes out.
jay, just go to the section1recruiting site and go to the “Where are they now” section and on the front page.
Legitimate D1 players in section 1 are rare. Maybe 2-3 every 5 years. Kieran Borcich is the only one in this years senior class, hes a top 5 recruit in the state.
exactly Rock thats why these loud mouths should hush up.
All Iona Prep kids are getting money for college. Which is so valuable and a blessing.
Not choosing a school, they chose the school.
God bless them and their families.
God bless Coach Darlos
2-3 every 5 years seems about right.
who has went d1a from the area in the last 5 years?
http://thefootballclassic.com/gamecenter/neplayers/index.html?player_id=19
Jack Molloy Harrison playin in NE vs. NJ and hes gonna go to University at Buffalo
if iona prep ran for president i wonder who coach darlos would vote for?
i would vote for football and college money. God bless America.
Jeff Mack is also playing in th NE vs NJ game. Great game vs Great competition.
I think Franco Cuts and Coach Darlos went D1 in the past 5 years.
Has anyone heard of where Bruce Grant from Fordham is going? How about Charlie Argast who prepped this year after graduating from FP? Lastly, it seems as though Maurice Easterling hasn’t gotten any press on here after prepping this past year. What’s up with that?
coach darlos, if you could, would you make love to iona prep?
love at 1st sight,
You need some help, for even asking a crazy question like that.
You guys don’t have a team you like?
I just like the things they doing over there. Just like I like what New Ro, Rye, Roosevelt, Harrison, Mount Vernon, Rye Country Day, Gorton, Lincoln, and Sacred Heart.
Have a bless day , its almost football season.
****Note, Mount Vernon High School football has some new coaches that will do some good things this year. Should interesting to watch.
and I love the Dallas Cowboys, Maine Black Bears, St. Anselm, CW Post, Southern Connecticut, Oklahoma, and the Jets. And the Mets
Go Razorbacks- Love them also…My Pee
Wees are beast this year, We should content for a State Championship. Good kids and Good players with good parents.
Coach Darlos, You’re a good man. I’m assuming DJ is your son .. we miss him but know he’s doing great things up north!
coach darlos:
anything else you want to share with us? favorite food? favorite movie? favorite color?
lol
I think Coach Darlos would want to share the experience of his son being the captain on the Iona Prep 2008 CHSFL AAA Championship Team.
what a bunch of tools!!
lol
Be a man and say who you root for before you come on here with your typical crap talking trash about Coach Darlos and Iona Prep-
By the way those are the facts – Iona Prep 2008 CHSFL AAA Champs with Darlos James as Team Captain- Nothing any hater cant take away
LOl
What do you wish to add football related?
in other football related news:
iona power & iona are tools! hahaha
hey guys don’t take yourselves so serious it’s a high school blog!
i root for New Ro, Rye, Roosevelt, Harrison, Mount Vernon, Rye Country Day, Gorton, Lincoln, and Sacred Heart.
Lol
I thought you would root for anyone playing Iona!!!
ionapower:
i root for whoever coach darlos roots for – he is the man, just wish he stayed at woodlands and turned them around with his wisdom of the game.
lol
Woodlands that sleeping giant coached by the ex-Iona Prep QB Phil Treglia! Well if they are able to pull the same stunts with bring in players like they did with the basketball team then I could see them playing Don Bosco or Bergen Catholic to open their season at the Meadowlands.-
As a Iona supporter I would like Darlos to remain as their recruiting coordinator!
argast signed with bryant…. he will never play a down… extremely over rated and over weight.
LOL
WHO CARES, YOU SOUND CRAZZYY. NEXT SUBJECT. DID JEFF MACK SIGN WITH CW POST???
guys:
it’s called joking around!!! get a grip please. this is high school sports.
when i read some of the things that coach darlos says and the teams he supports because he says they are doing good things, i tend to scratch my head.
William Wallace I’d like to know where you get your info before you trash a prep kid on a blog
i believe mack did commit to cw post but not sure
Maurice Easterling signed a letter of intent to play Football & Track at AIC in Springfield on Scholarship.
