WV tackle has two scholies

Offensive tackle Chad Snodgrass out of Nitro, W.V. holds two offers right now. Who does the 6-foot-4, 306-pounder have scholarships from and does he have any favorites?

"Marshall offered him a while back at center and Eastern Kentucky recently gave him an offer," Nitro head coach Scott Tinsley said. "He is also getting a lot of interest from other schools like Colorado, Louisville, West Virginia and LSU through calls and mail. I think this summer will be big for him to determine exactly where he'll play college football."

With already a couple offers in the bag, does Snodgrass have any leaders?

"I don't think he does now," he said. "He is really excited about the entire recruiting process and I know he is aspiring to play at the highest level, but I think he is also interested in a smaller school if they allow him to play right away."

The recent interest has picked up for the West Virginia star after a strong performance at the Ohio State Nike Camp.

"From what I understand he did excellent there," Tinsley said. "All the coaches that call me mention that they were impressed by his performance.

"Personally I think he has great feet for a guy his size and he has proven to me to be a very good pass blocker. Last year was the second season in a row he didn't give up a sack and of course he has tremendous size and strength."

Tinsley couldn't overstate the fact that Snodgrass is a great individual too.

"He is a very dedicated person that wants to improve and always stays in shape," he said. "During the offseason he has decided to hit the weights very hard to get better on the field. He is also a very well liked kid in school and is a joy to be around. I think any program that gets him will be very lucky."

Last season the lineman prospect earned first team all-state honors.
