A pair of Boston Herald football All-Scholastics announced their college intentions.

Brockton High School junior Cameron Monteiro gave a verbal commitment to play his college football at Pittsburgh. A standout on both sides of the ball, Monteiro has played at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and defensive back for the Boxers.

During the 2022 season, Monteiro racked up 20-of-32 passing attempts for 337 yards and two touchdowns. He also had 103 carries for 1,064 yards and 15 touchdowns, and seven receptions for 149 yards and three touchdowns. Monteiro received 15 Division I offers to play wide receiver for some of the nation’s top programs.

Meanwhile, Xaverian’s Charlie Comella will play football and baseball at Boston College. A 6-foot, 175-pound junior wide receiver and cornerback, Comella had 22 receptions for 609 yards, seven touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown. On defense, he registered 36 tackles, three interceptions, and blocked an extra point.

Former Marblehead quarterback Miles O’Neil announced via Twitter that he will play at Texas A&M. In his final season at Marblehead, O’Neil amassed 2,300 total yards, 28 touchdowns and completed 72.3 percent of his passes. He made the decision to transfer to the Hun School in Princeton, N.J., last March.

In other news, Catholic Memorial will be playing at Cardinal Newman of West Palm Beach, Fla., on Friday, Sept. 15. The following week, the Knights will be hosting St. Francis of Hamburg, N.Y.
