Football: Toms River North’s Jordan Craig Commits to Maine

Toms River North senior Jordan Craig, one of the Shore Conference's top tight ends, verbally committed to the University of Maine on Monday, according to Mariners coach Dave Oizerowitz.

Craig, who was an All-Class A South selection by the coaches, finished with 14 catches for 377 yards and three touchdowns for the Mariners, who reached the South Jersey Group V semifinals as the No. 8 seed and went 6-5 on the heels of a one-win season. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound senior is also a standout center for the Mariners' basketball team, which is ranked No. 1 in the Shore in the latest Shore Sports Network rankings.

Craig also had offers from the University of Buffalo and Central Connecticut State before deciding to commit to the Bears, whose roster currently includes another former Toms River star, Toms River South grad Darrius Hart, a sophomore cornerback.
