Six days ago, Kyle Kerrick gave Coatesville Area High School its first Division-1 prospect of the 2012 recruiting class when he issued an oral declaration to Michigan State. Now, make it two. Another offensive star for the red and black is going Division-1, too.
Manny Stocker, a 6’3, 197-pound quarterback for the District 1 representative Red Raiders, issued an oral declaration to North Carolina State Tuesday, according to national recruiting services Scout.com and Rivals.com. The Wolfpack were one of five programs to extend offers to Stocker – the other offering parties included Cincinnati, Eastern Michigan, Temple and Virginia Military Institute.
Stocker had quite the junior season for Coatesville, taking the reins of a Red Raider offense which averaged 26.6 points per game and topped the 30-point plateau in four of 11 games. He threw for 1,212 yards and 13 touchdowns and was also a threat as a runner, scoring at least four rushing touchdowns, including a pair of scores on the ground in the D1 AAAA playoffs against Central Bucks West. In the CB West game, Stocker also threw for more than 230 yards.
Coatesville Area, which could be considered one of the teams to watch in the Ches-Mont League’s National Division, finished 8-3 overall last year.
