For as long as he can remember,
Jonathan DiBiaso (Everett, Mass./Everett) has dreamed about playing Division I college football at the FBS level. Connecticut, Penn State and Syracuse are among the FBS schools that are recruiting him. John DiBiaso, Jonathan's father and Everett's coach, said he would like to see his son play at either Brown or Harvard, which are among the Ivy League schools that have shown interest.Regardless of what school Jonathan chooses the decision will probably have to get the stamp of approval from his mother, who he said is the decision-maker in the house."Yeah, she runs the household," Jonathan said. "I was supposed to go out to BYU for a visit, but she nixed that. Too far from home."Jonathan's future will likely be shaped in the next month, when he is scheduled to attend camps at Connecticut, Penn State, Harvard, Brown, Fordham and Syracuse."He's also taking his SATs, so it's a very tough month for him," John DiBiaso said. "It's a lot of throwing. It would be different if he were a running back. "I think the spread offenses at Brown and Harvard are tailor made for him. He's quick on his reads, gets the ball out quickly and reads defenses well."Jonathan, who has yet to receive his first scholarship offer, guided Everett to an unbeaten season last fall, when he threw for 2,885 yards and set a state record with 43 touchdown passes. He was intercepted four times."Connecticut, Penn State and Syracuse pretty much told me the same thing: I'm one of five quarterbacks they're bringing to camp in my class," Jonathan said. "One or maybe two of us will get an offer."Syracuse has shown the most interest in me, and I feel like I have a good vibe with Coach Hackett [Syracuse offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett]."Cornell, Dartmouth, Holy Cross, Pennsylvania and Princeton are the other schools that have shown significant interest. John said his son might have a hard time choosing between an FCS program and an Ivy League school, but would be thrilled with those options."He would like a shot at one of the [FBS] schools and he's hoping he gets an offer, but he realizes that the Ivies are a great opportunity," John said. "He's not a dummy. He realizes that after four years of college he'll have to enter the workforce."
