Manheim Central rising senior blue-chip recruit Dakota Royer has whittled his list of college suitors down to five.
The Barons' blitz-happy defensive end and pass-catching, playmaking tight end, who was a First-Team Associated Press Triple-A All-State pick at DE after registering 13 sacks last fall, will consider Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State and Pitt.
Royer, who also caught 56 passes for 1,099 yards (20.6 per catch average) and five touchdowns last fall for the Barons, was named All-State by Eastern PA Football and Pennsylvania Football News.
Rivals.com ranks Royer 13th among weakside defensive ends among 2010 recruits.
Royer said he will announce his college decision in July.
