Stearn might've just recently added his offer from Rutgers, but he's pretty familiar with the Scarlet Knights as he built a good relationship with Offensive Coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca.
“I met coach (Kirk) Ciarrocca when I was there for a camp last summer,” Stearn told TKR. “After the camp coach Ciarocca gave me a tour and the campus was awesome. It’s all in a good spot and they have great facilities. Obviously it’s super special to be offered from a program like Rutgers with such great coaches. They are definitely at the top end of my list just because of the great relationship I have with coach Ciarocca. It’s also a great program that’s pretty much in my backyard."
The Pennsylvania gunslinger is coming off a junior year, where he threw for 2,290 yards, 31 touchdowns and three interceptions on 149-of-241 (61.8%) passing. Those numbers were good enough to break his single season school records for passing yards and passing touchdowns, along also breaking the single season passing touchdowns record for the Inter-Academic League.
In the end he chose the Scarlet Knights over 15 other scholarship offers from schools such as Eastern Michigan, Tulsa, UConn and several others, along with interest from Syracuse, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
