The senior two-way athlete came back home with a roster spot in his pocket out of Ursinus College. This isn't Macrina's first roster spot offer, Grinnell College also extended an opportunity to the Wyomissing senior back in the offseason. Expect the likes of Dickinson, Misericordia, and Mansfield reach out in the coming weeks. Macrina's a shoe-in at some of these programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">After an awesome game day visit and great talk with <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Endy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Endy</a> I am thankful to say I have received an offer to play football and continue my academic studies at Ursinus College! <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachPGallagher?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachPGallagher</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachSteveONeil?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachSteveONeil</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/KickItJZ?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KickItJZ</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WyoFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WyoFootball</a> <a href="https://t.co/mH5hbJiDID">pic.twitter.com/mH5hbJiDID</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1091300' first='Derek' last='Macrina'] (@DerekMacrina) <a href="https://twitter.com/DerekMacrina/status/1846261658752278897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["118752"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670caf0810773"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">4.0 GPA. Kiersch is racking up production and quality tape despite not finishing many games because of scores getting out of hand. 6'0, 218 pounds. We don't have to dive into how much of a fan I am of Kiersch, it's well established, both in terms of prior pieces and in terms of current ranking. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kiersch has brought forth one of the more interesting recruiting stories that I've covered here at PRZ. The young man has proven his specialties for 3+ years now, I had him as an early FBS-offerable kid years ago. Things were slow out of the gate. Today, however, Kiersch has garned attention in the form of offers from D3s, D2s, FCS programs, even from Temple. Ithaca, St. Anselm, and Gannon all extended O's to Kiersch, with the lone FCS program stamping Kiersch being Saint Francis. This all makes good sense. Although I believe Kiersch to be worthy of a Temple offer, the timing of it does seem to be a bit strange. This is a kid Temple should have offered months, if not, years ago. Hopefully the Merrimack's and LIU's of the world key in on Kiersch, I think he'd be a phenomenal fit at those locations, so long as they are in need of a backer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Blessed to receive my first FBS offer from Temple!<a href="https://twitter.com/JoeMento?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JoeMento</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/VAPORTRAIL2471?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@VAPORTRAIL2471</a> <a href="https://t.co/mKAGM7cqX3">pic.twitter.com/mKAGM7cqX3</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='118752' first='Cameron' last='Kiersch'] 2025 LB (@CameronKiersch) <a href="https://twitter.com/CameronKiersch/status/1842002352049356839?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 4, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["870433"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670caf08109a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='870433' first='Julius' last='Fuentes-Bream'] spent the first weekend of October visiting UConn on a gameday trip.
