Iona Incoming Class Highlights Latest Commits

In our tracking of college commits for the fall semester, we've got a large number of players from the Marin Highlanders out of Northern California connecting with college rugby programs all over the country, from Oregon to Wisconsin to Arizona to West Point.

Meanwhile, Iona has released a list of incoming freshmen. They include several second-generation rugby players, including Chris Durnan, whose dad (also Chris) played many years for Old Blue NY and was a former teammate and opponent of Iona Head Coach Bruce McLane. John Martin's father also was a former teammate of McLane's. There remains a strong Bishop Hendricken-Iona connection, as two Hendricken players (both named Evan) join the Gaels, where Hendricken alumni Mike Scarcella, Jon Petteruti, Mike Marro, and Rhys Humphrey. 

It's a diverse group of athletes with flyhalf Evan DaCruz being 5-9, 160, and flyhalf Ruiairi Bentley (who has a superb boot) at 6-2, 205. Look for McLane to shift some of these things around. 

Also of note, 6-3, 290 football and rugby standout Jagger Greschner is the son of longtime New York Rangers tough guy Ron Greschner (almost 1,000 games in the NHL).
