First Two Offers for Loper

Erial, N.J., native Eric Loper attended several camps this summer and ended up picking up two written scholarship offers as a result of his efforts. It sounds like schools like Villanova and Delaware could also be close to making it more after talking to Loper earlier this week.
Eric Loper
, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound defensive back from Timber Creek High School had 51 tackles, six interceptions and six pass breakups on defense as a junior and that experience served him well as he has now scored his first two offers. Loper talked to Scout.com about each one.
“I just picked up offers from
Akron
and
Buffalo
recently and am hearing from a lot of other schools right now,” Loper explained. “Schools like
Villanova
,
Toledo
,
West Virginia
, Delaware,
Pittsburgh
and
Virginia
have been in touch. I camped at Nova and Delaware and they both liked my feet and hips and said they’d be in touch once they get my test scores. I’m actually supposed to be talking to Villanova this week about an offer.”
“I’m going to be taking visits to Akron and Buffalo in the next two weeks, but I don’t know when because my coach and I are working out my schedule now,” Loper stated. “I talk to Akron a little bit, but not too much. I know they are good people there and I do like what I’ve read about the program. Buffalo has new facilities and is a good academic school as well, but I haven’t talked to Head Coach Turner Gill. Both schools like me at cornerback or safety.”
