Wooten Brings Huge Frame at TE

Playing in New England makes it tough enough for a player to get noticed in recruiting, but when you play on a team that went 0-11 last season and is known for basketball, you know you’re not in an easy position. This is the position that Norwell, Mass., product Dominic Wooten is in, however he is trying to fight through that and get his name out there.

Dominic Wooten, a 6-foot-7, 220-pound tight end from Norwell High School in Norwell, Mass., suffered through an 0-11 season this season as a junior, but did have a productive year for himself in the passing game when the line did give his quarterback enough time to throw. Right now he isn’t receiving a ton of attention in recruiting, but is hoping the camp trail will help him in the summer.

“Schools I’m really interested in right now are Boston College, Harvard, Massachusetts, South Florida, Central Florida and Rhode Island,” Wooten offered. “I have a lot of relatives in Florida and obviously up here too, so I’d like to be as close to family as I can if I have a choice.”

“Boston College is one place I’ve seen a lot of games at already and I love the atmosphere there. The crowd and the players really get into the games and it’s just a great experience. I like the campus a lot and definitely want to camp there this summer.”

Wooten did not have his exact numbers available for yardage, but estimates that he had 902 yards and five touchdowns as a junior.
