The college football season might be just getting started and the NFL is just days away from getting underway but high school commitment season is fully underway and doesn't take any time off. 

This week Smithtown West baseball saw two of their finest chose their next playing destination and where they will continue their academic and athletic careers. 

Nick Zins sat down with Coach Terp from Ithaca and has decided to stay in New York and play for the Bombers. He wrote on social media that he "received an offer to play football for Ithaca College". 

The 5'11" 180-pound senior was named to the All-Region and All-Division teams while serving as his teams MVP and was their leader wearing the C as the Captain. The linebacker is also a wresting standout where he was named to the All-County team twice and showed that same leadership as a two-time Captain. 

Nicholas DeVito has also made his decision and has received an offer to play football for Cortland University. DeVito said that he visited the campus and had a good conversation with head coach Tom Blumenauer and has decided to become a Dragon after the season. 

Devito looked very good at the QB challenge this season and he will be under center once again for Smithtown West. The QB led the Bulls to an 8-2 record, and a playoff win as a junior last year. 

Expectations are high for West this year and with Zins and Devito on the field the expectations are warranted.
