McClain Feeling Out Options

A few months ago, Dave McClain had made his collegiate decision. He had committed to the University of Maryland and expected to enroll there in January of 2005. But last month both parties decided to go their separate ways, leaving the 6-4, 325-pound Central Bucks South (Doylestown, PA) offensive line prospect looking for a new future destination.

“I’m wide open right now,” McClain said. “I’ve received official offers lately from Purdue, Temple and Rutgers. I haven’t decided on a top 5 yet because, when I do set a top 5, I will take my official visits to those schools. I’ll probably have to set my top 5 by the end of November because I’m going to graduate early. I’ll take my official visits in December.”

McClain is sending out senior film in hopes of attracting more offers from Division I-A schools.

“I’ve gotten a lot of phone calls over the past few weeks,” McClain said. “I’ve sent film to all of the Florida schools. I sent film to Virginia Tech. [Virginia Tech] said they’d review it and get back to me. A lot of these schools are having meetings this week or next week, so I should know something soon.”
