Paul (above, #2, Daily Record) , a 6'2", 215 lb., 4.4/40 wide receiver/defensive back/linebacker from Brooklyn (Poly Prep), NY is considered one of the top prospects in the state. Considered an athlete, Paul presumably could play a variety of positions based on his experience and athletic abilities.
He was an Honorable Mention on this season's All-New York City squad and ald a Second Team All-Brooklyn Area selection this past year. He was instrumental in helping Poly Prep earn an 8-1 record in 2003. At wideout he found the endzone nine times this season while making 69 tackles at the linebacker spot.

A variety of schools are pursuing Paul, including Penn State. There doesn't seem to be a consensus as to where Paul will play at the next level, with some programs looking at him as a wide receiver, some as a defensive back and others as a linebacker. Although he started at both wide receiver and linebacker for Poly Prep, his team primarily saw his strength as a wide receiver. Paul has reportedly shown a stronger interest in playing on the defensive side of the ball though, but seems open to playing where he is most needed.

He reportedly already has offers from Boston College, Duke and Stanford with other schools like Syracuse, Virginia, Michigan, Ohio State, Maryland and Notre Dame showing interest.

With all the attention Paul does not seem to be in any immediate rush to make a decision and will apparently take the time to see what each school has to offer.
