POTTSTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) — Rescue crews were on the Schuylkill River Sunday night in Pottstown, searching for a missing boater near the Keim Street Bridge.

The bridge links Montgomery and Chester counties, and both counties are involved in the search for the man.

First responders noted high water and a strong current.

On Sunday night, the damaged green boat was hauled out of the dark water.

Officials believe somehow two boaters got caught in pipes under the dismantled bridge around 8:45 p.m. on Sunday. One boater got out, and the second man went under.

The initial search was suspended around 2:45 a.m. on Monday, with plans that the fire department will return to the scene during the daylight to begin searching the area again.

The bridge is in the process of being torn down.

Action News was there in March for the groundbreaking to rebuild the bridge. The bridge was originally built in 1935 but closed in 2010 due to structural deficiencies.

The contractor posted a video last month showing the pipes being installed and explaining that in order to access the island at the center of the river, a causeway needs to be constructed.

Since the river cannot be diverted, 96-inch diameter, 40-foot-long pipes were placed in the water, with some sections weighing up to 42,000 lbs.

The name and age of the missing boater has not been released. He is believed to be a white male, who is approximately 6 feet tall.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

Rutgers Football continues to add to their Top 25 ranked recruiting class today, as 2026 offensive line recruit Logan Anthony has committed to the Scarlet Knights while on his visit to campus.

The 6-foot-4, 315-pounds interior offensive lineman plays for Palmerton Area High School over in Pennsylvania and becomes the 14th commitment of the class.

This commitment shouldn’t come as too much of a shock for The Knight Report subscribers, as we’ve hinted a couple of times that he was a big fan of the Scarlet Knights ever since his offer.

“I already know how they coach already, but also I know the type of people they have on staff there,” Anthony told TKR. “They are all great, energetic people who I can trust. I do know they have some really great programs over there and that is an important factor for me.”

With this addition, Anthony becomes sixth offensive lineman to commit for the Scarlet Knights in this 2026 class, joining Donovan Johnson and Tyrell Simpson from North Carolina, Cameron Greene from New Jersey, Tyler Duell from Pennsylvania, and Jared Smith from Georgia.

In the end, Anthony chose Rutgers over 20 other offers from schools such as Syracuse, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and a few others.

Rutgers Football has added to their 2026 recruiting class today as quarterback Xavier Stearn made the announcement today that he has committed to the Scarlet Knights while on an Official Visit to campus.

The 6-foot-5, 215-pound prospect recruit plays his high school ball over at Germantown Academy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Stearn might’ve just recently added his offer from Rutgers, but he’s pretty familiar with the Scarlet Knights as he built a good relationship with Offensive Coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca.

“I met coach (Kirk) Ciarrocca when I was there for a camp last summer,” Stearn told TKR. “After the camp coach Ciarocca gave me a tour and the campus was awesome. It’s all in a good spot and they have great facilities. Obviously it’s super special to be offered from a program like Rutgers with such great coaches. They are definitely at the top end of my list just because of the great relationship I have with coach Ciarocca. It’s also a great program that’s pretty much in my backyard.”

The Pennsylvania gunslinger is coming off a junior year, where he threw for 2,290 yards, 31 touchdowns and three interceptions on 149-of-241 (61.8%) passing. Those numbers were good enough to break his single season school records for passing yards and passing touchdowns, along also breaking the single season passing touchdowns record for the Inter-Academic League.

In the end he chose the Scarlet Knights over 15 other scholarship offers from schools such as Eastern Michigan, Tulsa, UConn and several others, along with interest from Syracuse, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
