At Leto, they know recruiting is all about whom you know.
Very quickly, high-profile colleges are learning about Falcons running back Jeremy Deering.
Deering, a 6-foot-2, 208-pound junior, has received offers from Purdue, Syracuse, Oregon State and USF, Leto offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator Frank Rose said. Rose also said he expects formal offers from Alabama and UCF in upcoming days.
"We sent out about 60 highlight tapes on Jeremy," Rose said. "He got a late start because we really only had one kid schools were looking at last year."
Rose believes this is just the beginning of what will be a fruitful recruiting season for Deering. He also is receiving interest from Florida, Penn State, Arkansas, Pitt and FIU.
"When (Penn State recruiting coordinator) Mike McQueary first saw his tape, he said, 'Oh my God,' " Rose said. "The biggest thing is getting the word out. Once you see him, you can't help but like him. He has size, he's fast. He's a hurdler. He runs the 110 and 300 hurdles. He has 4.45 40 speed."
Deering ran for 1,077 yards and four touchdowns in 2008 while playing running back and quarterback for Leto (3-7 last season). This season, Rose said Deering will primarily play running back with the addition of Gaither transfer Dominic Marino, a rising junior, at quarterback. But Deering might still see some snaps at quarterback out of the Wildcat formation.
