 Jason Gwaltney will play football at West Virginia next fall, a family source has told Newsday. Gwaltney made his decision, which he plans to make official tomorrow morning, late Sunday.

Long Island's all-time leading scorer and rusher and two-time Hansen Award winner, made his decision after months of contemplation.

Gwaltney had narrowed his choices to West Virginia, USC and Ohio State. He will announce his decision tomorrow at a press conference scheduled in the North Babylon High School auditorium at 10 a.m.

"It's been a very long road to make a decision," said North Babylon coach Terry Manning. "No, let me change that, because it's been a ridiculous road to a decision. It's been very stressful on the kid and Team Gwaltney. We've investigated and checked out every school to a tee. And I know he's put a tremendous amount of energy in making the right choice and that he's comfortable with his decision. But he did change his mind like 16 times so until he signs that piece of paper -- I'm not convinced he's going anywhere."

Gwaltney, who'd made a verbal commitment to West Virginia last year, was visited by coaches from all three schools last week and spent the better part of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday trying to decide which school best fit his needs.

"I've had such a tough time making a decision because everyone involved has been so accommodating and made such a great presentation about their school," Gwaltney said. "There are so many reasons why I should go to USC. And so many reasons why I should go to Ohio State. And West Virginia started recruiting me when I was a sophomore. I have changed my mind so many times."

"I didn't sign at the Army All-American Bowl in Texas because I still wasn't sure," Gwaltney said. "I've gone through post visit syndrome. Every time I visited a school -- I'd come home and rave about the place and tell my people that I want to go there. Then, after the visit wears off, I start to think and get confused."

Gwaltney detailed the postives and negatives about each of his three suitors.

"There was really no bad in any program," he said. "I needed to find the program where the shirt fits just right."

Gwaltney may have found that fit when he bought himself a plane ticket and flew down to West Virginia on Friday and spent two days off campus in Morgantown. The unofficial visit gave Gwaltney an opportunity to give West Virginia one more look.

Scooter Berry, Gwaltney's half-brother, will also play for the Mountaineers.
