Skinny: Agnone is a versatile athlete who played primarily receiver and safety last year. However, he's played quarterback most of his life and that's his most natural position.

"I've got a really strong arm and a good pocket presence," said Agnone. "I see the field well and I'm able to move around. I'm probably more of a pocket passer than a running quarterback, but I can definitely run with the ball when I need to. Last year I spent most of my time on offense at receiver and played well, but I'll be going back to quarterback this year and should do well."

Agnone is looking at a lot of schools in the region, but doesn't necessarily have a leader just yet.

"I'm looking a schools from all over the Big Ten, the ACC and the Big East, so I'm keeping an open mind. I grew up a Florida State fan but I'm not sure how much I'm going to consider them. I definitely like Penn State and Pitt as well because of their location. The type of offense at each school I look at will be a huge factor in my decision, because I want to be able to throw the ball a lot.

"I was invited to the junior day at West Virginia but couldn't go because of basketball," said Agnone, who averages 12 points-per-game on the hardwood. "I wouldn't mind playing basketball in college at all, but realistically it will probably be just football. I'm going to summer camps at Maryland, UVA, Penn State and maybe a few other one-day camps, but I'm not sure yet."
