Central Catholic’s A.J. Beatty pursues Seneca Valley’s Jake Mineweaser during a WPIAL playoff game Friday, Nov. 2, 2018 at Fox Chapel High School.
A.J. Beatty’s scholarship total has climbed for weeks, but the Central Catholic junior will start narrowing his options soon.
The 6-foot-5, 255-pound defensive end revealed this week that he’ll announce a list of “top schools” on June 1.
In the meantime, Beatty continues to add Division I schools. He collected his 40th offer Monday from Central Florida, which went 12-1 last season and finished 11th in the Associated Press poll.
Beatty’s list contains a number of Power 5 schools, including Pitt, West Virginia, South Carolina, Syracuse and others.
Rivals.com rates Beatty as a three-star recruit and ranks him seventh overall among Pennsylvania prospects in the 2020 class.
