One of the most popular questions I was asked a year ago was whether Yale was going to bring in some offensive linemen.

Well, those same people would likely be happy to know that of the four recruits who have been sent likely letters by Yale are offensive linemen.

I previously reported that lineman Willian Chism out of St. Andrews Episcopal in Ridgeland, Miss. was sent a likely letter meaning that his application has been approved by Yale's admission department. Now I can report that Bronxville (N.Y.) High lineman Steve Shoemaker has been sent a likely letter as has Everett Johnson, a running back/linebacker who projects as a defensive player, from Union (N.J.) HS.

Staples defensive end Chris Coyne was the first Yale commit to be sent a likely letter and it sounds as if it is a case of when and not if for Coyne's Staples teammate Patrick Murray, a linebacker, to be sent the likely letter.
