JUCO pair make Big Ten visit
The coaching staff at North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton, N.D., is expecting big things this season from defensive end Bobby Jones and wide receiver David Whitmoyer . The two are headed into their second season of JUCO football. Both are also drawing interest from division I colleges.
"They both visited Wisconsin the weekend of July 24," assistant coach Mike Shafer said.

"Bobby loved it. He had a great time out there. He really liked what he saw."
"This past week has been a stange one. Bobby already had an offer from Cincinnati. Then Wisconsin offered when he was there and the news spread. Then South Carolina offered after he got back. Michigan State offered on Wednesday, then Oregon offered on Thursday. So he got four offers in five days."
"Bobby is open to all of them. He hasn't closed the door on anyone. He's taking it all in stride."
"When David went out to Wisconsin they said they wanted to get some more film on him. Montana State, Montana, and Arizona State are also recruiting him. He's wide open too."
The 6-foot-5 and 275 pound Jones made 38 tackles including five sacks during his freshman season at North Dakota State College of Science. He is originally from Yankton, S.D.
The 6-foot-5 and 200 pound Whitmoyer, from Helena, Mt., played quarterback the first half of his first JUCO season. He then moved to wide receiver. Whitmoyer also averaged 39 yards per punt and is projected as a wide receiver and possibly a punter.
Both Jones and Whitmoyer will graduate from North Dakota State College of Science in December. They will then have three years to play two seasons at their new college.
