Keystone DE prepares for a decision

Defensive end Tyler Urban out of North Huntingdon (Pa.) Norwin is approaching a decision. The 6-foot-4, 235-pounder is down to four schools and plans to announce a decision in the near future.

"I'm going to be making a decision by the end of next week. I went to get it done and out of the way before we start two-a-days on August 13th," he stated. "I've narrowed my list down to West Virginia, Maryland, Duke and Pittsburgh. They have all offered me. I picked those schools because they are the ones with the best opportunities."

Urban briefly touched on what he liked about each program.

"West Virginia has a really good football team, they are ranked No. 2 in the nation," he said. "Maryland is in the ACC and they have good football and a nice campus.

"Duke is obviously a very good academic school, while Pittsburgh is close to home and they're good at both academics and football."

Urban claims there are no leaders amongst the finalists.

"They are all about the same," he said. "I'm going to just look at the school that'll better me in the long run and give me the best opportunities after college."
