Recruiting roundup: Wayne WR commits to Kent State, others add scholarship offers

May 24—The past week saw local college football and basketball prospects add more scholarship offers and make one verbal commitment.

Here’s a rundown of recent developments as spring winds down and recruiting continues to heat up:

1. Teaunn Hunter is going to be a Golden Flash.

The Wayne High School wide receiver chose Kent State from a group of scholarship offers also including Akron, Eastern Kentucky, Marshall, Massachusetts, Miami (Ohio) and Purdue according to 247Sports.

Averette-Brown, who ran a 10.53 in the 100 meters this spring for the Warriors, also has offers from Notre Dame, Nebraska, Penn State and Tennessee, among others.
