The Exeter Township Eagles landed on the recruiting scene a season ago with placekicker Taylor Bertolet, who committed to Texas A&M. For the second consecutive year, the blue and white can lay claim to a Division-1 football prospect.
Christian Menet, a 6’5, 238-pound tight end for the Eagles, issued an oral declaration to Eastern Michigan Tuesday, according to national recruiting service Scout.com and a report published by the Reading Eagle. EMU was the only program to extend a scholarship offer to Menet during his recruiting process.
Utilized as both a blocker and a receiver in Exeter’s offensive attack last season, Menet hauled in six passes for 190 yards, averaging 31.7 yards per reception, and scored four total touchdowns. He also helped to pave the way for an Exeter Township offense which averaged 252.3 yards (144.9 rush, 107.4 pass) and 21.8 points per game, producing a 970-yard rusher and a 1,000+-yard passer. Offensively, Exeter Township scored 30 total touchdowns (20 rushing, 10 passing).
The Eagles, who compete in the Berks Inter-County League Division 1, finished 4-6 last year.
