The Hoos picked up their 3rd commitment of the Class of 2013 last night when ATH Trent Corney of Brockville, Ontario, Canada came on board. Corney will enroll in January of 2013 making him technically a member of the 2012 recruiting class, which is good because it allows us to save a scholarship in the 2013 class, which could be limited in size. Corney is 6-4 243 pound heat seeking missile who figures to play either fullback or linebacker for the Hoos. He is a tenacious player who is in attack mode really at all times, but also has good hands, which makes me think that he would be a very good fullback, or a TE/WR combo player. That being said that skill set also translates well into an outside linebacker role. Corney has not played against top notch competition much while in Canada so it will be interesting to see what he decides to do for the fall. My hope is he will post-grad at FUMA and come in ready to roll in the spring. His position will most likely depend on how he does in the spring with strength coach Evan Marcus, who has a tendency to turn boys into men. If he bulks up enough he could be used as a rush end, but I personally would love to see him at fullback, especially since he would do a good job catching that swing pass as well as destroying people as a lead blocker. Don't sleep on Corney whatever you do, he has a ton of potential. Welcome Trent!
