Samir Crosby couldn’t wait to tell everyone the news.

The Greensburg Central Catholic football star was eager to post his college commitment on social media Saturday night after he zeroed in a school.

“We had to wait for all the paperwork to go through and everything,” Crosby said. “I was waiting for them to give me the OK to pull the trigger.”

Now, it’s official.

Crosby announced a long-awaited verbal commitment to Georgetown of the Patriot League.

“It’s stress off my shoulders,” he said. “Words can’t even express how good it feels. To be able to say I am going to play at the next level, it’s amazing.”

North Carolina A&T, his most recent offer, was his second choice.

On X Saturday night, Georgetown wide receivers coach Stephen Amoako posted to Crosby, “Can’t wait to work with you Samir! The Hoyas are getting a FOOTBALL PLAYER!”

GCC coach JT Thompson long has proclaimed Crosby was under-recruited. Thompson was thrilled to see his star player get an opportunity such as this.

“I believed that God had a plan,” Thompson said. “I am proud of Samir and grateful for the staff at Georgetown believing in and wanting Samir.”

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, although a defense still could be an option down the road, he said.

Crosby attended a prospect camp last spring and visited the Washington, D.C., campus in May.

“Ever since I stepped on campus, it felt like home,” he said. “I liked everything about the town.”

Coaches say if Crosby was slightly taller, he could be a Power 4 prospect. The size issue has followed him around like a shadow, but it also had motivated him to find a school that sees his playmaking ability before his roster specs.

Crosby did something few have done in WPIAL history. He had more than 1,000 yards passing (2,501), rushing (3,006) and receiving (1,421) in his career. He scored 75 touchdowns.

This year, 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.

Georgetown also attracted Crosby academically. He plans to pursue a business major.

He does not plan to enroll early.

“It’s the best of the best,” he said of Georgetown. “The highest education you can get. I am blessed.”

Among his other scholarship offers were Akron, Sacred Heart, Fordham, Miami (Ohio), Buffalo and UNLV.

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