It looks like Oscar Smith head coach Richard Morgan could have another top notch recruit on his hands. After producing 7 players that earned football scholarships including Virginia Tech signee Greg Boone for the 2005 class, Morgan now has Brian Whitmore for 2006. Whitmore is a defensive end recruit who has already received several Division 1-A offers.

“He’s got offers from Penn State, West Virginia, Virginia Tech and Maryland,” Morgan said. “Tech and Maryland are in writing and West Virginia and Penn State said they’re coming in writing. I know North Carolina is very close to offering because they called the other day. I just got done sending a tape to Miami. Miami called and said they wanted a tape so I sent one out. He’ll probably have around a dozen offers to choose from.”

As a junior this past season, Whitmore tallied 75 tackles including 10 sacks and 9 tackles-for-loss. He returned an interception for a touchdown in the regional championship game versus Landstown and batted 5 passes down at the line of scrimmage. For his performance, he earned first-team all-district, first-team all-region and honorable mention all-state honors at defensive.

A good offensive lineman, Whitmore earned first-team all-district and all-region honors at offensive tackle.
