Things heating up for Tindall
South Orange (N.J.) St. Peter's inside linebacker James Tindall had three offers and was getting ready narrow his choices, when all of a sudden right before Christmas, his stock began to rise. He has now added four new schools to the mix and is waiting to see what will happen this month.
Iowa, Wisconsin, and Buffalo had been pursuing Tindall’s talent for awhile and had extended offers, but then last month Boston College, Maryland, Minnesota, and Virginia started to show interest.

“A week or two before Christmas, they started calling,” James explained. “Then they said something about a quiet period coming up. Minnesota is supposed to call probably tomorrow, and I am also talking to Virginia, Maryland, and Boston College.”
All of this recent attention has changed his decision-making process.
“It will be close to Signing Day now, since everything is heating up late,” he said.
Tindall stands 6-foot-3, weighs 220 pounds, and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds with a 32-inch vertical leap. As a senior he recorded 75 tackles (20 for loss) and 14 sacks.
