7/22 Scouts chase Tucker star Fast, versatile senior can fill many roles Michael Carvell - Staff Thursday, July 21, 2005 Tucker is always a popular stop for college football recruiters. This year, the Tigers have five rising seniors who already have been offered major college scholarships, led by Asher Allen. Allen, who has met college entrance requirements, had more than 50 scholarship offers by the end of June. Allen is one of the Southeast's top prospects and ranked No. 3 overall in Georgia by Rivals.com. "It's a blessing to get this much attention," Allen said. "It started early in my junior year. I had guys like [Georgia linebacker] Tavares Kearney and [South Carolina cornerback] Brandyn Young talk to me about it and what to expect." Allen is coveted by colleges because he can play so many positions. Various scouts have projected Allen at tailback, wide receiver, cornerback and kick returner. He has been clocked at 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash and, perhaps most importantly, has a 3.56 GPA. "Asher is definitely one of the top prospects we've had over the past five years," Ballard said. "He has very quick feet, runs real fast. When you look at his highlight tape, you will see him score a lot of touchdowns and make plays. He is a playmaker." Other Tucker players who have been courted by major colleges include Myke Compton by Memphis and North Carolina; Dwayne Harris by Boston College, Maryland and North Carolina; Jotis Head by Memphis and North Carolina; and Donnie Hardy by Memphis. "We really work hard on getting looks for our kids by college scouts each year," Ballard said. "When we mailed out Brandyn's tapes last year, we also included some plays by our younger players, including Asher. We want to show them some players that will be special later on." Last year, Allen rotated between slot receiver and tailback on offense, and he switched between cornerback and safety on defense. In the second round of last year's playoffs, Allen got the ball on a reverse, juked two defenders, barely avoided falling and scampered for a 66-yard touchdown against Northwest Whitfield. Such plays made Allen a hot commodity. "Asher is really doing well with all the recruiting," Ballard said. "He does an excellent job at putting the team first. He has the right priorities." Allen said the biggest thing on his mind is helping Tucker win a state championship. He visited many of the ACC and SEC colleges this summer. "I really don't have any favorites yet," Allen said. "I want to go to a school that has a great atmosphere for college football. I also want to go somewhere that has outstanding academics just in case an injury happens. I want to be able to get a good job and support my family." |
