Hard work and passion describes the people of West Virginia and that is the same statement that can be used to describe new WVU verbal commitment Bret Niederreither. The 6-foot-3 prospect from Red Land High School committed to the Mountaineer football team on the Fourth of July and is the 11th commitment in the 2012 recruiting class.
He is one of the top linemen in all of central Pennsylvania and has been one of the leaders on the Patriots’ defense. Red Land head coach Chad Weaver said since day one Niederreither has been one of the team’s most talented players.
“From his sophomore year on he’s been a starting player and he’s always been one of those kids that’s been bigger than everyone else, but still very athletic and you don’t see that very often in your bigger players,” said Weaver.
“He’s a kid that’s going to work really hard,” continued Weaver. “He’s been working his butt off here the last couple of years and in the offseason he’s gone the path where we thought he could and he’s really started to put on some size. He’s going to give you all he’s got and he’s just a great young man.”
He certainly caught the eyes of long WVU defensive line coach Bill Kirelawich. Weaver says Kirelawich was impressed by everything Niederreither could do.
“I knew right away from day one when he came in and talked to us a little bit he was excited about him,” said Weaver. “Loves his size, really likes how he moves and he thinks he’s going to be a really good ball player.”
Niederreither is the second defensive lineman in the 2012 recruiting class and is the first commitment from the state of Pennsylvania. Continue to check MetroNews for more information on this new prospect.
