Assessing the talent: James Poe can do it all. He's a linebacker, a defensive back, a running back and a WR. Last year, he finished with 133 carries for 670 yards and 5 touchdowns. He also caught 12 catches for 130 yards (avg 10.8 YPC) and 2 touchdowns. James poe made teams take note of him last year when he ran over a few guys when he played as a running back. Freedom high school runs the option offense and If he was being pursued by the old coaching staff, he might have already gave a verbal to Nebraska. He is being looked at as a pure defensive back by the coaching staff. Coach Randy Jordan has managed to get him to to visit during the Big12 season opener against Iowa St.
James is a 3 year starter and has game experience. Last season, his team finished a dissapointing 1-9 but return 17 starters this year. James Poe has caught the attention of coaches from Nebraska, Florida, Iowa and a few others" Athletic Director Lou Fiorelli said.
Freedom High school moved up to class 6A-5 two years ago and will be entering it's third season in this level, coach Andy Hamre feels he has the proper tools in place to make a run at the class 6A-5 title and a possible playoff spot.
"If there was a year that we could show we could play, it would be this year. We’re very excited, and the community, parents and faculty are as well. We’re a growing school in a new district. I’m excited to see what these guys can do" coach Hamre said.
Freedom in the past 2 years in the district has gotton off to a 1-18 start, but this year, with 17 starters returning, coaches around the district are now begining to take note. Winter park was the state champion runner up the past 3 years and won the class 6A-5 title last season. Freedom opened its football season on 8/19 against Winter Park and beat them 21-0. Next up on the schedule is Olympia this friday night. Olympia finished last season 7-3 and return several starters, but are under the guidance of a new head coach
Hamre said that work done in the spring and the summer has led to the elevated expectations.
“What has been done from January until now has been amazing,” he said. “This year we don’t look at the schedule and get overwhelmed. We don’t play anybody that makes us think, ‘This could be a long night
We’ve seen some of our last seniors here this fall working out. That’s important for a building program that is building a tradition at the same time.”
A pair of last year’s Patriots became Freedom’s first college signees. Strong safety Chris Campa signed with Division I Eastern Michigan, and lineman Mitch Murdock signed with Division III St. Olaf (Minn.) College.
Both Oak Ridge and Cypress Creek, also in District 6A-5 with Freedom, Gateway, Boone and Dr. Phillips, will have a new starting quarterback under center. Pioneers Coach Mark Jackson debuted junior Dominique Daniels in Oak Ridge’s spring game against Olympia in May.
I asked James on his top choices and where Nebraska stands
"Right now, i really like Florida. I talk to coach (Charlie) Strong every other day almost and we text message back and forth. Louisville is also recruiting me pretty hard and i like them too. I am going to schedule them for a visit. The only school that i have setup a visit to is Nebraska (10/1)"
One school he would definetly like to hear from are the Hurricanes, but he said he's not holding his breathe
"They have sent me a few letters, but nothing that shows me they have as much interest in me as i would like"
In the meantime, Nebraska fans will be looking forward to seeing James Poe in Lincoln in the next few weeks.
Odds of becoming a Husker: 20% -We have him penciled in for a visit and that's a big step forward. He also likes the tradition and the academics from what he's heard and is excited for the visit. If he doesn't end up a Gator, his next top choice is the Huskers from the tone of his voice.
