What kind of player did the University of New Hampshire get when Jim Giansante signed a National Letter of Intent?
UNH got someone who knows how to catch the football, and someone who is used to postseason success.
Giansante (pictured), a 6-foot-2 wide receiver who played for Thomas Jefferson High School in Clairton, Pa., caught 53 passes for 1,234 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. He was a three-year starter for Thomas Jefferson, which had a 42-2 record (16-1 in the playoffs) during those three seasons. Thomas Jefferson won WPIAL and PIAA Class AAA championships in 2007 and 2008.
Giansante didn't appear on UNH's list on incoming recruits that was released on national signing day because he didn't commit to UNH until Feb. 5, the first Friday that followed signing day.
"They like to pass the ball a lot," Giansante told the McKeesport Daily News. "So that makes me happy."
Giansante reportedly had scholarship offers from William & Mary, VMI and Bowling Green. He visited UNH on Jan. 23.
