Recruiting update: Ciero, Hennessy, Parkinson all make college choices

Posted by: Josh Thomson - Posted in Football on Feb 08, 2012

I have three quick football commitments to share. All three were finalized on Tuesday.

• Justin Ciero, Horace Greeley: If you missed my post on Twitter last night, Ciero (pictured right), a three-year star at Greeley, has chosen to continue his career at Colby. The senior intends to play quarterback. He had Division I-AA opportunities as a QB, including Marist.

• Thomas Hennessy, Don Bosco Prep: The long-snapping prospect from Bardonia — who I wrote about last summer — committed to Duke during a visit to Durham yesterday. Hennessy garnered a lot of collegiate attention thanks to his success at special teams’ camps last year. Duke had long been a favorite of his because of its academic reputation.

• Will Parkinson, Mamaroneck: The senior wide receiver (pictured above, in white) visited Towson on Tuesday and committed to play football for the school. He was one of the leading receivers in Section 1 the last two seasons, catching 51 passes for 840 yards and nine touchdowns.

   Great news for these young men. Colby seems like a great fit for Ciero if he wants to play QB.

   Thank you Justin Ciero for making the RIGHT choice by picking Colby over Marist. Ciero could have played 1-AA ball, but he realized that football isnt everything, and that Colby and its academics will give him the best opportunity to have a successful future.

   Marist is a strong academic school in its own right… Still, congratulations to Justin Ciero on his college choice; hopefully he’ll continue to have the same success at Colby that he did at Greeley…
