Perhaps Maumee Bay Brewing Company deserves an assist for the recent flurry of commitments for the University of Toledo football program.
Perrysburg offensive lineman Grant Zimmerly cited the city’s food offerings, and specifically Maumee Bay, when rattling off the reasons he chose UT over that school to the south.
However, the common denominators from the Rockets’ seven class of 2023 commits while discussing their decisions were head coach Jason Candle, recruiting coordinator Ricky Ciccone, and their respective position coaches.
Zimmerly said Toledo was his calling because of offensive line coach Mike Halley and Candle.
“I thought Toledo was the school based on my connection to the coaches,” said Jamari Holliman, a defensive back from Miami Gardens, Fla.
