Page quarterback Jake McNamara announces commitment to UTEP
A month and a half after re-opening his college recruitment, Page quarterback Jake McNamara has found his future home.
McNamara announced his commitment to UTEP on Monday.
"Extremely excited to announce that I have found my home!!! I am committed to play football at UTEP! Thank you to my coaches and family," McNamara wrote on Twitter.
The 5-foot-11, 185-pound three-star recruit announced his commitment to Colorado State on June 10 but decommitted on Dec. 8 just a few days after James Norvell was announced as the new coach of the Rams.
