The NEPSAC-to-Patriot League pathway is a well-traveled one that has its next passenger: Berkshire Class of 2021 defender Jacob Blackwin (Rollinsford, N.H.).
Blackwin recently verbally committed to Colgate, a Division I program that made three straight NCAA tournaments from 2016-18 as conference champions.
A left back or center back, Blackwin plays club soccer for Black Rock FC. Before heading to prep school, he competed for Seacoast United in the now-defunct Development Academy.
