Lewisburg linebacker’s dream comes true, Owne Ordonez will play D1 football for Lafayette @OwenOrdonez4 @LEWISBURG_FB @Ewicks021
August 11, 2021 | Billy Splain
. There’s a phrase thrown around the recruiting world, one that recruits don’t like to see and one that gets overused. That phrase? Well, there’s two actually, “under-recruited” and “overlooked”. In the case of Lewisburg Dragon’s linebacker Owen Ordonez, I prefer the phrase “strike while the iron’s hot”! Ordonez struck quickly. Following a hot July […]

August 4, 2021 | Billy Splain
When you have a proud military family, it’s common for the younger generation of the family to admire those accomplishments and service. Quite often we at PAFootballNews.com see that trickle down in the football world as well. Eli Heidenreich is one such player. The 6-0, 185 pound athlete at Mt. Lebanon has several family members […]

UConn lands another PA Recruit, York High lineman Joden Nelson commits to the Huskies @joden62
June 29, 2021 | Billy Splain
Joden Nelson has unfinished business to tend to this fall. He helped pave the way to 7-1 record for the Bearcats last fall, but he didn’t get to play in the D3 title game. This year he doesn’t want anything to distract him from getting one game further. After visiting UConn early this month, he’d […]

June 24, 2021 | Billy Splain
It’s always a pleasure for me to write about a player committing, and it’s even that much more special when they make the ultimate decision to give at least the first part of their adult lives to a service academy.
