St. Augustine (N.J.) offensive lineman Paul Meduri has committed to the Villanova Wildcats as a preferred walk-on. He announced the decision on Twitter last Friday.

Meduri is a 6’1” 275 lb. lineman who played at both tackle and guard in high school. Given his height, it’s likely that he will be an interior offensive lineman once he arrives on campus.
HSLive has a good article with quotes from Meduri, who also considered Marist and Kutztown (Pa.) before verballing to the Wildcats.
Meduri is the first offensive lineman commitment in the class of 2017 - Villanova is in good shape on the OL and as Meduri’s high school coach said, he should be a great program player for the ‘Cats.
