wow, turning down Wisconsin to play in the MAC. But he does get to play with his brother, so that's gotta feel good. Congrats to BJ, of course.

Xtra Points: Shaler's Holzshu facing emotional task

Gateway football player B.J. Stevens made a verbal commitment to Miami (Ohio) in the summer. But there is a possibility he might not end up at the MAC school.

Two things happened to change the recruiting status of Stevens, a 6-2, 240-pound defensive end. First, he had a terrific season for Gateway, registering 22 sacks. Then Miami coach Shane Montgomery resigned last month.

Michigan, North Carolina State, Indiana and Virginia are a few of the schools that have offered scholarships in recent weeks. Pitt is also showing interest.

"I think a lot will be dictated by who Miami announces as head coach," Gateway coach Terry Smith said. "If it's someone from their staff, there is a good shot he'll stay with Miami. If it's an outside guy, I don't know what will happen."

Stevens' brother, Jordan, plays at Miami.

Quite a change. Wonder what happened, because he was supposed to be one of Miami's best recruits. Maybe hoping to transfer to a DI school after a year?
