Two early favorites for NY receiver

Brooklyn (N.Y.) Erasmus Hall Campus receiver Justin Bellido is trying to take a measured approach to the recruiting process and that means a decision probably won't be coming for a while.

Nonetheless, as the three-star prospect has learned about the schools recruiting him it has proved impossible not to form some early opinions.

Bellido, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound Class of 2020 prospect, told Eagle Action this week that two schools are standing out.

"Throughout this recruiting process all schools that have offered me have showed a lot of early interest in me and I do have equal respect for the schools who believed in me, but early favorites would be Syracuse and Boston College at the moment," Bellido said. "The recruiting process for me is still wide open."

Bellido said he went to Syracuse for a game this past fall.

"I'm sure there will be plenty of visits set up soon and a few spring practices I can catch," he continued.

In addition to Syracuse and Boston College, Bellido said he has been hearing from Rutgers with regularity.

"A school that has not yet offered but shows love is UCONN as of right now," he said.

BC has been around for quite some time.

"Boston College's recruitment of me has been great," he said. "They showed love early when I was a freshman."
