Army Black Knights prepared to host several key official visitors

The weekend of January 11th, there will be several key uncommitted 2019 prospects who will make their way to West Point for their official visit and the possibility of becoming members of the incoming recruiting class for the Army Black Knights.

One of the featured visitors is Rivals 3-star defensive end Cole Aubrey, who will be making his 2nd visit on campus.

“Yes, it will be my second visit ... I took an unofficial in the spring,” Aubrey explained, as he pointed out what he hopes to pick up from his official. “But, some of the things I’m looking forward to on this visit is strengthening my relationships with the coaching staff and to get a better feel of what everyday life is for a cadet by connecting with the players.”

“I speak with Coach [Sean] Saturnio pretty much multiple times every week. So, I last spoke with him and we’ll just talk about life in general. Last time I spoke we talked about the New Year’s, my time at the World Bowl, or how Army balled out at the Armed Forces Bowl against Houston. I’m really appreciative of Coach Saturnio and we’ve built a special relationship that goes beyond football.”

Aubrey’s talents have been nurtured at St. John Bosco out of Bellflower (CA), which is one of the top high school football programs in the country this season. Hence, he indicated that he embraces the fact that Army is one of the best teams in the nation, although he readily admitted that he was unable to catch their bowl game live.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t watch the game, because I was in Mexico for the World Bowl,” he shared with GoBlackKnights.com. “But I saw the highlights and was incredibly impressed at how Army absolutely dominated that game. They proved they were one of the best teams in the country through that game and their play all season. I absolutely could see myself in such a game or versus Navy or Oklahoma. I was in attendance for the Army/Navy game this year and was amazed at the atmosphere and energy in the stadium. It made me want to go out there and play.”

Aubrey’s Top Three

So, which schools sit atop Aubrey’s list of colleges, and when does he plan on making his final decision?

“Currently at this time my top schools are West Point, Penn and Princeton,” stated the talented defensive end, who has already taken official visits to Princeton and Penn. “I hope to make a decision after my official visit with West Point.”

When it comes to Moore, it appears that it will come down to Army and Harvard. In the case of O'Leary, it sounds like it will be either the Black Knights or the Midshipmen.
