Aidan Alves, kicker/punter for Northern, announced his commitment to Liberty University on Monday.
In the end, Liberty checked off all the right boxes for Northern kicker Aidan Alves.
The senior kicker and punter, a 2016 All-Sentinel First Team selection, chose the Christian school in Virginia because of its big school feel, religious background, education and opportunity on the field.
He announced the decision on Twitter Monday afternoon.
"There’s a lot of school pride at Liberty, and the energy there really made me feel good," said Alves, who expects to back up and learn from Liberty's senior punter. "It really was everything that I said I wanted."
Alves was among the Mid-Penn leaders in 2016 with eight field goals, including a 43-yarder against Greencastle-Antrim and a game-winning 38-yarder against previously unbeaten Shippensburg. He led the area's kickers with 56 points, and added 21 touchbacks and nine punts inside the 20-yard line.
James Madison and Fordham were originally high up on Alves' radar during the fall. He also had interest from Ursinus and Susquehanna. He is considering a degree in business or something in the prosthetics industry.
