Players who transferred from Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic, who are relatives of Steelers coaches and a former Steelers player, have had their eligibility settled by the WPIAL.
But the league decided it wants a hearing to determine the eligibility for one of Mike Tomlin’s sons and the son and nephew of Steelers assistant Joey Porter.
The WPIAL board of directors met Monday and reviewed transfer paperwork and reports from Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic on seven athletes who transferred from North Catholic after former Steelers linebacker Jason Gildon was fired as football coach in December. The league’s rulings were:
• The WPIAL will have a hearing May 4 with Michael Tomlin, a sophomore and oldest son of Mike Tomlin who transferred from North Catholic to Shady Side Academy.
