Syracuse recruiting target Jermaine Eluemunor has impressive offer sheet after coming to the US from England

Jermaine Eluemunor has only been playing football since his sophomore year of high school, only saw significant playing time his senior season and yet is still one of the most highly ranked junior college prospects in the Class of 2014.

Coaches such as Nick Saban, Bret Bielema, Will Muschamp, Jimbo Fisher, Urban Meyer, Bob Stoops, Kevin Sumlin and, yes, Scott Shafer are taking a run at the Lackawanna Community College offensive tackle who grew up thousands of miles away from the United States.

In London.

The differences between the two cultures became apparent to Eluemunor since he stepped off the airplane with his father in 2008, when he was 14.

Strangers aren't as friendly in the U.S, he said. High school sports are much more expansive, the rain isn't as prevalent and the fish and chips aren't quite the same. OK, they're nothing compared to the ones across the pond.

"I don't even eat them," Eluemunor said.

Eluemunor, a massive 6-foot-6, 300-pound specimen, was drawn to the more physical sports growing up in London. He said he played soccer from age 4-11 before switching to rugby for the next three years and up until the move to the States.

"I was getting too big for soccer and I was getting too physical," he said. "I kept getting red cards cause I wanted to hit people. I was big so I didn't wanna kick around some ball anymore. I kept watching rugby on TV. I could run, throw the ball and hit."
