One of Downingtown East’s offensive linemen has given an oral declaration to an Atlantic Coast Conference football power.
Jack Willenbrock, a 6’4, 255-pound offensive guard from Downingtown East High School in Exton, has given an oral declaration to Viriginia Tech, according to national recruiting service Scout.com.
The Hokies were the only program to extend a verbal offer to the Cougars’ lineman. National recruiting service Rivals.com listed additional programs showing interest in Willenbrock which included Boston College, Penn State, Pitt and West Virginia.
Willenbrock helped to pave the way for a Cougar offensive arsenal which produced 1,900-yard rusher Drew Harris (who holds more than 20 Division-1 offers) and 1,300-yard passer Trey Lauletta, who finished his career with more than 5,000 passing yards. Downingtown East averaged 34.8 points per game in 2010, reaching the District 1 AAAA quarterfinals and finishing 9-3 overall. The Cougars are 19-6 overall (.760) the last two years.
