'14 DE ATH Troy Reeder

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x19NyhtDmTY"]Troy Reeder - Salesianum football QB / LB (Class of 2014) - YouTube[/ame]

Early offers from Rutgers and Delaware.

Visiting OSU at the end of the month (I assume for FNL).

According to this article, he is a UNC lacrosse verbal but is considering playing both lacrosse and football in college. Neither Scout nor Rivals list him as a UNC verbal.

EDIT: According to a Rivals $ update, he has said that if he goes to college to play lacrosse, it will be at UNC. But as of now, he has not completely decided which sport he will play in college. Most schools are focused on him as a LB, but a few schools are talking dual-threat QB.

By Jared Shanker | ESPN.com

A transplant from the Buckeye State, Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek running back Kevin Rucker wants to play his college football in Ohio, and he knows exactly where he wants to do it.

?Ohio State is the No. 1,? said Rucker, who attended the Buckeyes? Friday Night Lights camp. ?I?m actually from Ohio and I want to come back to go to school here.

?No. 2 is probably somewhere down in North Carolina, I don?t know exactly yet. But Ohio State is No. 1.?

2014 QB Jalen Greene drawing interest
July, 30, 2012

GARDENA, Calif. -- Being the league player of the year as a sophomore at the high school level is impressive. Doing so as a quarterback in one of the toughest leagues in Southern California makes it that much more noteworthy.

For 2014 quarterback Jalen Greene (Gardena, Calif./Serra), that honor appears to be the first of many accolades.

With early interest from schools such as Oregon, Nebraska, Northwestern, UCLA, Arizona State and others, it is obvious he is a special talent.

At 6-foot-2, 190-pounds, Greene already looks college ready. His dual-threat ability will make him one of the more sought after players in the class of 2014.

Football Recruiting: Nile Sykes talks Ohio State
Aug 3rd, 2012
by Joe Soriano

Oak Park River Forest standout Nile Sykes is one of the top defensive players in the state of Illinois in the 2014 recruiting class. He was generous enough to answer a few questions about the site, including one about his terrific performance at Ohio State on the 27th. The premier pass rusher recorded 12 sacks last season, and Sykes has offers from Illinois, Northern Illinois, Toledo, and Purdue.

The talented DE/OLB impressed Urban Meyer and the staff and was the best defensive linemen out there. His performance there further supports the notion that Nile Sykes is one of the best pass rushers in the region.

Nile Sykes Interview

FanSided 150: 1. At Ohio State?s prestigious Friday Night Lights Camp, you performed at an extremely high level. What do you think of your time at Ohio State during the camp and how much interest has the school shown in you?

Nile Sykes:

Like you said I had an amazing time out at Ohio state. Going out there my mind was set to go out there and show the coaching staff what I was made of, and I think I did just that. I think that their interest level has definitely gone up after my performance at the camp.

FS150: 2. In my opinion, you are one of the best defensive players in the state of Illinois in the 2014 class with 12 sacks last season as one of the stars for Oak Park River Forest. As a DE/OLB what do you think is the most overlooked aspect of being a good pass rusher?

Nile Sykes: I can?t really pick out one thing that gets overlooked. At all of the college camps I attended this summer, they all were looking at footwork, speed, technique, explosiveness, and just the ability to pass rush. So I can?t say that any aspect of pass rushing gets overlooked.

150: 3. Have you received an offer from Miami (OH)? Of the teams that have not offered you yet, which one of them has shown the most interest?

NS: I don?t believe they have offered me, but I know that it says they did on one of the recruiting databases (Rivals, 247Sports). I can?t remember which one, so it?s confusing. But the university of Wisconsin-Madison and Ohio State are the two that haven?t offered, but I would say have shown the most interest in me so far.

150: 4. Things are going very well for you early on in your recruitment, and your upcoming junior season will be especially key. Do you have any statistical or weight room goals heading into next season?

My goal this year is to get 80 tackles 20 sacks. I plan on growing an inch to become 6?3″ and weighing around 235 lbs.

2014 WR Nate Brown ready to impress
August, 9, 2012
By Radi Nabulsi | ESPN.com

The first game of the season always carries with it a great deal of excitement and a touch of nervousness -- sometimes maybe a little bit of pressure. For wide receiver Nate Brown (Suwanee, Ga./North Gwinnett), the first game of the 2012 season could go a long way in determining his future.

?I went up to Vanderbilt about two weeks ago and they were showing a lot of interest,? Brown said. ?They asked for my game film from our first game of the season and they said they will probably make a decision off of that.?

The Commodores aren?t the only team that is waiting to see how he has progressed this summer.

?I always loved Ohio State and Stanford,? Brown said. ?I visited Stanford over the summer. They showed a whole lot of interest, too. But at the same time they asked for game film. They are in the same boat as Vandy in that they are looking at me in my first game this season.?
