Five-star prospect Noah Spence has received quite the boatload of Division-1 attention and offers to date, but he’s not the only Bishop McDevitt Crusader generating interest from the collegiate ranks.
Brock Dean is starting to generate some attention as well.
Dean, a 6’1, 215-pound running back/linebacker combination picked up a verbal offer from Temple over the weekend and has also seen interest from Maryland, Penn State and Northwestern, according to Rob Pugliese, Bishop McDevitt football insider and color commentator for PASportsRadio.com.
#24 had quite a solid junior season for McDevitt, helping the program win its eighth District 3 football championship (third in Class AAA) and reach the PIAA AAA championship game opposite Allentown Central Catholic.
Dean was the Crusaders’ second-leading tackler, amassing 93 total tackles (47 solo), four sacks, an interception (returned for a touchdown), four deflected passes and three forced fumbles. He averaged 5.8 tackles per game, posting a season-high 13 tackles in McDevitt’s 17-7 loss to Central Dauphin in Week 2. Dean finished four other games with at least seven tackles and was part of a Crusaders’ defensive unit (including reserves) that held 11 of 16 opponents to 17 points or less, with two shutouts, and allowed an average of 14 points per game.
Bishop McDevitt finished 13-3 overall in 2010.
