Burlington County becoming a fertile recruiting territory

When compared to the other counties throughout the state of New Jersey, Burlington is usually not the No.1 spot for college coaches to stop by for recruiting. This won’t be the case anymore starting with the classes of 2017 and 2018. Four recruits in particular have emerged from the area and have started to give coaches more of a reason to visit Burlington County.

Those four kids are RB Jon Lovett, WR Everett Wormley, DB Mike Bowers, and ATH Iverson Clement. Each of them play in Burlington County for their respective schools, but each of them has began to gain momentum on the recruiting circuit.
