Class of 2021

[Rocky B]

Reading up on Samson Evans, I noticed his brother Carter has a ton of offers next year.
He’s a bigger kid. 6’4”-220....He’s outgrowing a running backs’ body....I’ve seen him listed as TE and FB.....He’ll more than likely play LB at the next level.....Lots of offers though..
Mac schools, Ivy schools and others.....
A white running back was also on the team that seemed to do real well with little recruitment....Blake Brown.....I believe he graduated last year with no fanfare.
I saw he ran a 4.49......???

 

[dolphins15]

RB, I wonder if Carter will end up at Eastern Michigan with his brother. He is a load at the HS level but I too thought he would be better suited at another position at the next level. Five more to watch.

Isaiah Huber- Plays RB for Rochester Century High School in Minnesota. Also a very good hockey player. This kid has some wheels. Has a video of him running 4.47 with a laser. Makes good cuts as well.

[dolphins15]

Five more to watch.

Tanner Hess- Plays RB for Hempfield High School in Pennsylvania. Rushed for 961 yards and 14 TD's. Didn't put up amazing stats but looks like he had to play QB some. But has good speed. He currently has an offer from Lawrence Tech. https://www.hudl.com/profile/10933112/Tanner-Hess

Lincoln Parker- Plays RB for Marist High School in Georgia. Big powerful kid (5'11" 215). He is committed to Army to play BBack. https://www.hudl.com/profile/6140305/Lincoln-Parker

Article discussing Wisconsin's intent to flip Joseph Manjack from SMU.

https://wisconsin.rivals.com/news/wisconsin-a-big-time-offer-for-smu-receiver-commit-joseph-manjack

 

[Shadowlight]

Some commitment news.

TE Jack Renda to Michigan State.

JC S Ben Langston to Iowa State.

WR Toler Keigley to East Carolina. TK was mentioned above by our man about town dolphin15. Nice pick up from a team that doesn't appear to be allergic to White WRs. In a word refreshing!

And Air Force is bringing in two quick backfield types:

Dual QB TJ Urban. At 6'1" 194 he runs a 4.53 40 and has a 36 inch vertical.

RB Jesse Likens 5'10" 160 shows a second gear on tape.

No word on WR Drew Donley yet but at this point I will be surprised if it isn't Northwestern. His speed upside is off the charts. When it is all said and done he looks like he will become as fast as his dad Doug who was a true Roadrunner. Has a younger brother ( Jake) and maybe he inherited the speed gene too?

By the way Andy Isabella's brother Joey is in the class of 2020 at Duquesne. Wanted to straighten that out since he is mentioned in this 2021 thread.

Ryan is the brother of UMASS linebacker Mike Ruane (mentioned in the LB thread). Maybe UMASS could be where he ends up too.

 

[Shadowlight]

Illinois has brought in two linebackers.

Dylan Rosiek is a 6'1" 210 MLB.

Trevor Moffitt is a 6'2" 195 OLB. OK I guess we can move on. Not really.

Taysom Hill is seen as a prototype for future White Swiss Army knife studs. See 2021 QB/WR/RB Liam Clifford who will be heading to Penn State.

Then perhaps a new prototype could be based on Tanner Muse a 'defensive" version of the Swiss Army knife. The common thread between Hill and Muse is their outstanding athleticism and speed.

Well Moffitt has all of that. With 4.4 40 yard dash speed and a 39 inch vertical he is very explosive. With a few more added pounds look for him to become an explosive Illini backer in the not too distant future.

Five more to watch.

Ian Ridge- Plays RB for Elk Grove High School in Illinois. He had 1,856 all purpose yards and 21 TD's. Had 422 rushing yards and 7 rushing TD's in a single game. Very athletic with good speed. He currenly has offers from Valpo, Minnesota-Duluth, and Concordia St. Paul. https://www.hudl.com/profile/9793089/Ian-Ridge

Cullen Stone- Plays RB for Midlothian Heritage High School in Texas. He has good vision and speed. He currently has offers from Missouri Western State, East Cental and East Texas Baptist. https://www.hudl.com/profile/11355891/Cullen-Stone

Logan Kraut- Plays RB, WR and DB for Maria Carrillo High School in California. He is fast, smooth and physical. At 6'2" 187 I think he is being recruited as a safety. He currently has offers from Arizona, Fresno State, UNLV, San Jose State, New Mexico, Air Force, Army and FCS schools. https://www.hudl.com/profile/9458096/Logan-Kraut

Jack Goodrich- Plays WR for Creekside High School in Florida. He has good size at 6'2" 195 and decent speed. He caught 31 balls for 857 yards and 9 TD's. He currently has offers from Army, Columbia, Brown, UT-Martin, Bryant, Tennessee State, and Stetson. https://www.hudl.com/profile/10987233/Jack-Goodrich

Jake Jarmolowich- Plays DB and WR for Delbarton High School in New Jersey. 6'2' 185 and will bring the wood. Also very athletic. He currently has offers from Army, Navy, Yale, Colgate, Princeton, Bucknell, Penn, Towson, Furman, Holy Cross and a few more. https://www.hudl.com/profile/10397387/Jake-Jarmolowich

Arizona received a verbal commitment from three-star 2021 ATH Logan Kraut.
Kraut (6'2/190) is considered a prospect at both receiver, running back and defensive back, and it appears that the latter is going to be where he's going to play -- at least to start -- in Tucson. He picks the Wildcats over schools like Fresno State, UNLV and San Jose State; with Arizona being the only known Power 5 offer. A product of Maria Carrillo High School, the folks at 247Sports rank Kraut as the 163rd best prospect in the always loaded state of California, and 120th among prospects with the "ATH" designation.

 

[Shadowlight]

Dylan Hazen- Plays LB for The Woodlands College Park High School in Texas. His hudl says he can run 4.35 40. Not sure if he is that fast but he can run and is really explosive. He currently has offers from Wake Forest, Arizona, Kansas, Illinois, Colorado State, Tulane, New Mexico State, Army, and Air Force.

Two huge commitments!

ILB Dylan Hazen to Wake Forest. 6'1" 215 a real dynamic athlete who is college ready from day one. Big time speed.

And next up:

WR John Paul Richardson to Oklahoma State. I had mentioned it looked like a Big 12 team before. Good bloodlines he is 6'0 180 and watch this space. This is a player who is lightning in a bottle. He has already made great strides in physical maturity this speed weapon might turn out to be a real star.

He is underrated at the moment but Oklahoma State knows very well they landed a diamond in the rough.

Meh, Oklahoma State seems like the place talented white WR’s go to rot. Ive been excited to see them play there for about 10 years but it rarely happens. Cuck Mullet sure does like to stockpile them though.

 

[Red Raider]

Oklahoma State has had two good white receivers in the last 5 years though. Dillon Stoner and David Glidden have both been multi-year starters.

 

[Bucky]

Nice updates. Also noticed San Diego State landed MLB DJ Herman 6'1 235 from Nevada.

Air Force with a white RB from GA in Joseph Stellmacher

[Shadowlight]

Sam Scott a 6'1 215 LB out of Nebraska performed well at a recent Kansas football camp ( see Class of 2022 for other standouts) and is now getting noticed by some of the big boys including Kansas State and Nebraska. Scott ran one of the faster times at the camp with a 4.45 40 yard dash.

All around athlete Ethan Abell ( 5'9" 172) ran a 4.49 but I haven't yet heard any interest from Power 5 schools.

 

[Shadowlight]

James Jackson is a 6'3" 200 athlete that played a lot of wide receiver but he will end up as a defensive hybrid. Big time downhill speed with the kind of ranginess to cause havoc. Nice pick up for Virginia. Ivy League schools not to mention several other Power 5 schools were chomping at the bit but Jackson decided to stay close to home.

 

[Shadowlight]

Looking at Virginia HC Bronco Mendenhall's defensive recruiting haul for 2021 two other White "hybrids" are on the list to join Jackson.

Not sure if DE/OLB Josh McCarron ( 6'4" 215) was mentioned in an above post but he is a terror off the edge.


Add rangy S West Weeks ( 6'2" 200) who like Jackson plays a lot of wide receiver but is expected to fill out his frame and play linebacker in college.

These three athletes are similar in that they are expected to fill out in college. They have the kind of rangy frames that would allow it. They all can really run and look like heat seeking missiles out there on defense. On tape both McCarron and Jackson fly in off the edge and flatten opposing quarterbacks. Quick twitch disruptive White defenders. My type of players. Good job.

 

[dolphins15]

Five more to watch.

Malcolm Bussey- Plays RB for St.Paul's High School in New Hampshire. He was NH Gatorade Player of the year. He rushed for 1,436 yards and 22 TD's in 9 games. They were State Champs. A good looking kid who is a good athlete. He currently has an offer from Valpo. https://www.hudl.com/profile/10977822/Malcolm-Bussey

Ben Ford- Plays QB and DB for Eagle High School in Idaho. He had 729 yards rushing but hurt his knee in the middle of the season. He is committed to Washington for baseball. He has offers from Idaho and Idaho State in football. https://www.hudl.com/profile/11133222/Ben-Ford

Nick Chrest- Plays DB for Cy Fair High School in Texas. He had 6 INT's. 4.4 speed with good ball skills. He currently has an offer from Sacred Heart. https://www.hudl.com/profile/11334269/Nick-Chrest

Dane Jentsch- Plays QB and DB for Grandview High School in Texas. They were State Champs. He had 3,349 yards passing, 1,028 yards rushing and 58 total TD's with 8 INT's on defense.

[Bucky]

Brandon Schabert to FAU. Not sure i like the move, loaded WR room..

CO LB Avery Shunneson (6'1 220) to Princeton.

 

[dolphins15]

Joseph Manjack has de-committed from SMU.

 

[Shadowlight]

Brandon Schabert to FAU.

Lately it seems a lot of White prospects are staying home. I sort of like that myself although I was hoping Schabert would land on a Power 5 school. He had some offers. But FAU has been high on Schabert's list from the beginning. A lot of upside. Let's see if it gets tapped?

Sebastian Sager is a rangy 6'4 215 OLB who also stayed home picking Georgia Tech. Rangy athletic White DE/OLB hybrids are popping up a lot lately.

Oregon finished up their big high school camp. The 40 times are pretty legit. Nothing buffed up here. All laser timed. At 6'1 185 2021 RB Dustin Selby ripped off the fastest 40 yard dash time among running backs with a 4.47 time! I don't think Power 5 schools are looking at him though. Yale commit RB Nate Denney was there too and ran a 4.62 40 and a 4.13 short shuttle. He was deemed the best all around RB at the camp. All indications suggest he will be a good one.

The best all around WR was 2021 Chance Miller a sleek looking athlete who at 6'1" 172 ran the 40 in 4.49. Air Force has offered.

WR Nolan Morris (2021 6'0" 180) ran a 4.50 40 yard dash.

2023 WR Job Kralik ran a 4.53 He is 5'11" 165 and that is a good time for someone so young.

The second fastest 40 yard dash in the entire camp was posted by 2022 6'1" 175 WR Austin Ratliff at 4.41. Another sleek looking player to watch.

 

[Shadowlight]

Some recent commits.

Two tight ends: Bentley Redden ( also a DE) to BYU. Gunner Helm to Texas. I get the feeling WR Jake Smith will be the last White WR Texas recruits for the next several decades but they tolerate bringing in a White TE.

Three safety commits:

Colby Huerter (6'1" 190) to South Dakota State

Ben Fewel (6'0" 175) to Georgetown. Member dolphin 15 name checked him earlier. He is listed as an athlete so could end up at WR?

Trevor Woods (6'1" 190) to Colorado. Considered a box safety he is a top 100 safety out of Texas.

Not committed yet but Idaho State offered WR David Spjut (5'10" 180) a speedster out of Utah who ran a 4.49 laser timed 40 yard dash at a recent camp. Spjut also plays DB and returns kickoffs and punts.

 

[Shadowlight]

Trying to find great White athletes with immense speed etc. feels at times like being out in a desert searching for water. On that note this past week has been one of the most frustrating for me because instead of striking gold (or water) I ended up seeing some sort of mirage. I am still in pursuit but all my leads are turning up dry which is very unusual. And disconcerting especially since I thought I found a gem. Don't bother asking me anything. Until I get legitimate info I will stay quiet on the matter.

I love discovering super great White athletes whether on my own or finding out about them here at CF. That initial rush is a special thing.

Now that I am done with my soliloquy onto players that aren't mirages.

TE Thomas Fidone (6'5" 225) is being pursued by all the heavy hitters with Notre Dame chomping at the bit. Fidone looks like the next Travis Kelce. He is that promising.

Some commits.

TE Jack Witmer ( 6'6" 225) Virginia.

Edge Nathan Hoke (6'3" 225) BYU. Will go on mission.

DB Jack Whitten (6'1" 180) Brown.

DE Zach Myers (6'4" 245) Air Force.

DE Chris Burkhalter (6'5" 230) Oregon. He is highly rated.

One other standout to keep an eye on is the speedy OLB Jack Stephens out of Memphis. He is 6'2"190 and is sometimes listed as an athlete. Indiana looks to be the front runner at this point.

 

[Bucky]

Appreciate the updates!

Also noticed another White RB to The Ivy League in John Volker ! Younger brother of former Princeton RB Charlie, who was very underrated in his own right. 6foot 210lbs.

ATH Ryan Ruane to Holy Cross.
