Batavia All-state football receiver Zach Strittmatter is still keeping his recruiting options open, with an emphasis on elite academic schools on the East Coast.

Strittmatter, ranked No. 1 academically in Batavia’s senior class, plans to make college visits in the coming weeks, and a handful of Ivy League and Patriot League schools are among his potential destinations.

“You can’t find the Division I football with the high academics around here as a Princeton or Georgetown,” Strittmatter said. “There’s the high academic schools like [Washington University in St. Louis], but then that’s Division III football, so it’s like the perfect combination of football and academics out there.”
