New CAA homes for Hunte brothers; Mitjans out
Northeastern freshmen Chad and Kyle Hunte were said to be two of the more highly sought-after players following the demise of Huskies football last month. But before the suitors could line up, both have made their decisions after just one official visit.
The twin brothers, who were both Bay State Conference All-Star linebackers at Brookline High, made their commitments this week and will transfer within the Colonial Athletic Association next month. Chad, a linebacker, will be gearing up at UMass; Kyle, a safety, will play for Delaware.
Both came on strong late in the season for the Huskies. They both registered over 30 tackles, while Kyle was second on the team in interceptions (three).
In other Brookline football news, Laz Mitjans resigned as head coach last Sunday after four seasons at the helm, making his official announcement at the team's season-ending banquet. No candidates for the head job are known at this time.
The Warriors won just four games the last two seasons, including a 1-10 slate this season. But should senior Irvin Scott end up on scholarship at a Division 1 school (he will visit UMass next month) that would make it three D1 scholarship players to come out of Brookline in the last two seasons -- and mind you, the Warriors have finished the season with less than 30 on the varsity both years. Mitjans also coached Dave Teggart, a Lou Groza Award candidate this season at UConn, during his time as head coach at Algonquin Regional.
