Greensburg Central Catholic football star Samir Crosby announced a verbal commitment Saturday night to Georgetown.

Crosby, a versatile senior playmaker who has played quarterback, wide receiver, running back, defensive back and punter during his prep career, plans to play receiver for the Hoyas.

This season, he began the season at receiver but moved back to quarterback late in the year.

He accounted for 1,547 yards and 23 touchdowns, rushing for 1,016 yards and 17 TDs, passing for 555 and six TDs and catching 19 receptions for 267 yards and four scores.

Defensively, Crosby (5-foot-11, 165 pounds) led the team with 80 tackles and had one interception and one sack for GCC, which finished 5-6 after a 50-35 loss to Bishop Canevin in the first round of the WPIAL Class A playoffs.

He also returned a kickoff and a fumble recovery for touchdowns.

Among his scholarship offers were North Carolina A&T, Akron, Sacred Heart, Fordham, Miami Ohio, Buffalo and UNLV.

Georgetown offered in May, and Crosby visited Georgetown in October.
