NICK SUKAY

SCHOOL: Greensburg Central
POS: WR/S
HT: 6-0
WT: 200

THE SKINNY: One of the most heavily recruited players in the WPIAL with more than 30 scholarship offers, Sukay had a monster junior season. He scored 11 touchdowns and caught 129 passes for 658 yards, while rarely playing a full game because the Centurions defeated most opponents by wide margins. Is equally adept on defense.

COLLEGE TALK: Committed to Penn State in June. Also strongly considered Pitt and Notre Dame......

WHY DO THEY CALL YOUR COACH, WILLIAM COLOSIMO, BY THE NICKNAME "MUZZY": "I asked him once and he didn't give me a straight answer. He said it was something that they called him since he was a little kid, but he definitely sort of avoided the question."

YOU LOST LAST YEAR'S WPIAL CLASS AA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TO SOUTH PARK, 24-20. HOW HARD WAS LEAVING THE FIELD AFTER THAT GAME: "It was the worst feeling in the world. What was even tougher was that the whole team felt that way and you looked next to you in the locker room and just knew it hurt every single kid."

PERSON YOU'D MOST LIKE TO MEET: "Hines Ward. Because he plays the game how you should play it."

PEOPLE MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT: "I like listening to 80s music. I don't know why, I just do."
