Lewiston High School’s Jared Turcotte is going to the University of Maine.

Turcotte, this year’s recipient of the Fitzpatrick Award as the best all-around graduating high school football player, told the Sun Journal on Thursday that he has verbally committed to play football next year for the Black Bears.

Turcotte played on both sides of the ball for Lewiston last fall, amassing 1,813 yards (putting him over 4,000 yards for his career) and 17 touchdowns on 229 carries.

He also showed his versatility by catching four TD passes and throwing one, and on defense dominated as a linebacker and defensive end, totaling 113 solo tackles, returning an interception and recovering a fumble for touchdowns.
