The WCAC champions once again had a massive class of football players heading to play in college.

With the exception of one year since 1991, DeMatha has had 10 or more or more students receiver football scholarships each year.

This year’s list is as follows:

Raheem Cardwell    FB/LB        6’    220    Prairie View A&M
Tom Chroniger       QB/S       6’1    185    Towson
Aaron Conaway      RB/DB     5’9    170    Villanova
Pete Desouza         OT/DT   6’6    308    Maryland
Patrick Goulden       OG/DT   6’3    250    VMI
Jeremiah Mathis      TE/DE    6’3    222    Virginia
Calvin McDowney    OG/DG    6’3    330    New Mexico
Emmanuel McPhearson WR/CB  5’10 185     New Mexico
Michael Milburn       WR/CB    6’3    192    Delaware
Ikechi Nnawuba      OG/DT    6’    255    NC Central

“It was a good day,” Coach Bill McGregor said. “I’m really happy for the kids and proud of the kids. It’s their day. It’s the culmination of a lot of hard work and determination.”

Chroniger had originally verbally committed to play quarterback at Eastern Michigan. He changed his mind this past weekend after Eastern Michigan switched from a shotgun offense to a pro-style offense that didn't fit Chroniger's style.

Chroniger visited Towson this past weekend and was pleased with what he saw. He was recruited as a quarterback by the Tigers.

“Every class is a great one,” McGregor continued. “I’m just happy for the boys and the kids and happy it worked out for all them.”
