Neshaminy senior Jay Colbert, a 6-1, 230-pound fullback who plays the end on the D-line, is headed to the University of New Hampshire. Jay made his college choice based on the winning attitude that always seems to prevail at UNH.

Head coach Sean McDonnell led the Wildcats to their fifth consecutive appearance in the NCAA FCS Championships and advanced to the quarterfinals for the fourth time during a five-year span. Last season, New Hampshire posted a 10-3 record, capturing the Colonial Athletic Association North Division title

“Every year, New Hampshire wins games and they’re always in the playoffs every year,” said Colbert.

“They do a great job with their coaching staff.

“They always get the right guys in the program—good guys.”

A winning program coupled together with hard work made the Wildcats an attractive team to join, said Colbert. The similarity to Neshaminy football was uncanny, he noted.

“Their program is just like Neshaminy’s. Guys get in the weight room; they work—they work hard. They have great coaches. The coaches get after you and they WIN games.”
