Peters Township’s Donovan McMillon (3) knocks the ball away from Woodland Hills’ Eshawn Carter as Aidan McCall assists Friday, Sept. 6, 2019 at the Wolvarena.
High school football players are in the midst of a two-week contact period on the NCAA recruiting calendar, a 14-day span that’s kept WPIAL juniors busy.
Among them is Peters Township junior Donovan McMillon, who announced offers from Purdue and Miami (Ohio) in the past week. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound safety also holds offers from Akron and Temple.
He received the Miami (Ohio) offer Sunday and Purdue last Tuesday, giving him his first Power 5 school.
McMillon earned all-conference honors in the Allegheny Eight this season and helped Peters Township reached the WPIAL Class 5A finals.
The current contact period lasts from Dec. 1-14.
After a one-day “quiet period” Dec. 15, the recruiting calendar enters a “dead period” from Dec. 16 until Jan. 16. College coaches can have face-to-face interactions with recruits during contact and quiet periods but cannot during dead periods.
