He's the younger brother of [URL='http://syracusefan.com/cviewplayer.asp?Player=383924'][COLOR=#1a3461]Nick Provo[/COLOR][/URL], a first-team all-Big East tight end for Syracuse last fall. [B]Quotable[/B]: "Some people want to call him a tight end, but he's not really built like a tight end. He's built more like a fullback. He's a guy who can go down the field and do something in the passing game and be a candidate to receive the ball out of the backfield, but what he does for American Heritage that makes him so important for them, and why I think Syracuse values him so high, is that he's a devastating blocker." [I][B]Secret weapon[/B]Provo is a jack-of-all-trades who lines up at fullback, H-back and tight end for American Heritage, but he estimates that he's in the backfield for about 75 percent of his team's snaps. He's looking forward to playing tight end for [URL='http://syracuse.**********/'][COLOR=#0a4ea3][U]Syracuse[/U][/COLOR][/URL] in 2013. He's hoping Syracuse uses him the same way it utilized his older brother, [URL='http://footballrecruiting.**********/cviewplayer.asp?Player=383924'][COLOR=#0a4ea3][U]Nick Provo[/U][/COLOR][/URL], who earned first-team all-Big East honors and caught 51 passes for 537 yards and seven touchdowns last season. "He was a great weapon at Syracuse," Provo said. "That's kind of what I want to be. I don't want to play straight fullback in college." Provo hasn't been able to get the ball in his hands nearly that often at American Heritage. Socha said Provo had about 12 catches and four carries last year, though the Stallions will attempt to get the ball in his hands more often this fall. When Provo lines up in the backfield, he generally serves as a blocking back for Bryant. But that hasn't stopped him from catching the attention of recruits. Provo is a three-star prospect rated by ********** as the No. 2 fullback in the 2013 class, even though he plans to play tight end at Syracuse. He has received offers from [URL='http://bostoncollege.**********/'][COLOR=#0a4ea3][U]Boston College[/U][/COLOR][/URL], [URL='http://louisville.**********/'][COLOR=#0a4ea3][U]Louisville[/U][/COLOR][/URL], [URL='http://ucf.**********/'][COLOR=#0a4ea3][U]UCF[/U][/COLOR][/URL] and [URL='http://fiu.**********/'][COLOR=#0a4ea3][U]Florida International[/U][/COLOR][/URL] as well as Syracuse[/I] [/QUOTE]
