Mike Vukovcan For the second consecutive weekend, Hopewell’s James Armstrong has received another GameDay invite to a Power 4 football program.
Last weekend, the sophomore quarterback was in State College for Penn State’s season opener vs. Nevada. On Saturday, he’ll make the short trip to Pittsburgh to watch Pitt as they host Central Michigan.
Pat Narduzzi and the Panthers were the first Power 4 program to extend Armstrong an offer, which took place last season.
It’s somewhat surprising more Power 4 programs haven’t offered yet but that’s just a matter of time.
Through two games, the 6’3″, 220-pound quarterback is 30 of 38 for 447 yards, 3 TD’s and 0 interceptions. Armstrong has also rushed the ball 26 times for 195 yards and 5 rushing touchdowns.
For those not familiar, a GameDay visits consists of players being on the field during pre-game warmups, possibly a chance to talk with coaches, during the game they’ll sit in the stands with other recruits. Depending on the player, the recruit may go into the locker room after the game.
