7 St. Joseph’s Prep players sign on National Signing Day

Two of the seven St. Joe’s Prep players remain in Pennsylvania. Cameron Smith, a four-star linebacker ranked fifth in Pennsylvania according to 247 Sports, has signed with Penn State University.

Ramier Hardy, a three-star wide receiver, was one of five players to sign with Temple University a day after the school’s induction KC Keeler as head coach.

Keeler described himself as a “culture builder” who would build a foundation on North Broad Street with high school players.

“Graduate recruiting will always be our foundation,” Keeler said. “It’s a structure of the team and I think it’s difficult to really develop a culture if you’re always accepting transfers to fill every gap and gap.”
