Baltimore Commits to Northern Illinois

Baltimore will be one of the SL's elite
defensive forces in the 2011 season.

Olathe East's Matthew Baltimore made a verbal commitment to play at Northern Illinois this past week.  The talented 6-foot-4, 230 pound defensive end will play the same position for the Huskies when he arrives on campus in 2012.

Baltimore was one of the top juniors in the Sunflower League last season, raking in 17.5 tackles for loss, nine sacks, two forced fumbles, and nine pass deflections. 

Baltimore joins SM East's Elliot Faerber as the second player from the class of 2012 to commit to play football at a division one program.  Faerber has committed to play wide receiver at Illinois.
