LB Harvey pledges to Wyoming

Crete (Ill.) Monee senior outside linebacker recruit Drew Harvey (6-foot-0, 210 pounds) made a weekend official visit to Wyoming and Harvey just gave the Cowboys his verbal commitment just moments ago.

"I just committed to Wyoming," Harvey said moments ago. "I just felt that it was the best fit for me so I committed."

Harvey, who led the Warriors in tackles as Crete-Monee made it to the Class 6A state title game talked about his decision.

"I sat down with my parents and we talked about it. I just feel that Wyoming is the best fit for me. We just payed on it and today I knew that I was ready to commit to Wyoming. Wyoming is the place I need to be to succeed."

Harvey pointed towards his weekend official visit as a key in his decision.

"Wyoming was beautiful. I was excited when they offered me a few weeks ago but I still wanted to see what they had to offer. I really bonded with the players and the coaches at Wyoming. They have a newer staff in place and they have things headed in the right direction. The overall distance was a question early on but I figure that I'll be busy no matter where I go to school and the distance isn't a factor for me or my family. I loved the campus, the academics and the academic sport they offer for athletes. Wyoming also has a great stadium and the facilities at Wyoming are top notch. It's just a great fit."

Harvey is excited to have his college choice completed.

"I just feel blessed. It's been a wild season and getting to play 14 games with my brothers made it a magical season. Now I have a new family to go play football with and I couldn't be more excited."

Drew Harvey is verbally committed to Wyoming.
