The Division II Administrative Committee on Wednesday extended its quiet recruiting period for all sports through July 31 which aligns with Division I. The quiet recruiting period began June 1, after a dead period.
During a quiet period, a college coach is not able to recruit off campus. Coaches may have face-to-face contact with college-bound student-athletes or their parents on the college’s campus and may write or telephone college-bound student-athletes or their parents. During a dead period, a coach cannot meet face-to-face with or watch prospects compete anywhere in person.
The committee also provided flexibility related to housing arrangements for student-athletes due to the pandemic.
Yahoo.com reports the NCAA Football Oversight Committee has endorsed a plan to allow football coaches to begin working directly with players beginning July 13th. It is expected to be approved by the NCAA Division One Council. With most teams not having spring practices, it would allow for two weeks of walk-through drills before practices begin in early August.
Pitt defensive tackle Jaylen Twyman has been named to the Walter Camp Preseason All-American team, as was Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons. Nittany Lions tight end Pat Freiermith was named to the Walter Camp second team. Both Twyman and Parsons were named second-team Walter Camp All-Americans for the regular season last year.
