2017 D Line Recruiting

[BigRedBuster]

Well, all of us understand that we crapped the bed on this position last year and at least in part, it's why we now have a new D Line coach.

So, I thought I would look at who we have offered so far for this position.

SDE Zachary Carter 4* .9595 Tampa, FL

WDE Chase Young 4* .9721 Hyattsville, MD

WDE Jaelen Phillips 4* .9434 Redlands, CA

WDE Taquon Graham 4* .9355 Temple, TX

DT Donovan Jeter 4* .9005 Beaverfalls, PA

WDE Drew Jordan 3* .8570 Suwanee, GA

DT Greg Rogers 4* .9405 Las Vegas, NV

WDE Corey Malone-hatcher 4* .9242 St. Joseph, MI

SDE Corey Bethley 3* .8730 Katy, TX

WDE Michael Allen 3* .8444 Buford, GA

SDE Johnathan Burghorst 3* .8363 Zealand, MI

AT least these were the top ones on the "Target's" list on 247. Still a little surprised that we only have two DTs on this list. Hopefully, with Parrella coming on board, there will be more offers for that positions.

Also, I don't think any of them are in the 500 mile radius.

And...no, I'm not concerned.

DT is a pretty hard position to project/evaluate. So I'm sure they are taking there. Would like to see some more realistic midwest offers.

Yes, it is possible that they will want to wait till Junior days or Summer camps to see some of these big guys.

I do like that it seems we are being aggressive at DE. Obviously offers don't mean we are successful. But, at least it appears they are looking attempting to get some quality guys.
