by Brandon Mitchell, recruit757 In 2014 Coach Sam Scarborough was in a bit of a conundrum. There was a quarterback competition in the works between Bobby Price (SR/QB 6-3 185) and Scotty Watson (JR/QB 6-2 170). Watson was a transfer out of Salem High School and Price was bought up in the farm system (so…
by Andy Hilton, recruit757 We report regularly on local players that are seeing their recruitment explode. One local who’s on the cusp of a breakout is defensive end Miles Posey. The name won’t be familiar to high school football fans because Posey is still an eighth grader. Yes, at 6-2 and 210 pounds, Miles…
by Andy Hilton, recruit757 Lake Taylor head coach Hank Sawyer has another Titan with a scholarship offer. College attention is no rarity at Lake Taylor. There’s been a strong line of players landing college scholarship offers at the Norfolk school. You can now add Roman Bond to that list. Bond (JR OT 6-3 255) has…
by Andy Hilton, recruit757 Recruiting is getting crazy for our young bucks of the 757. 9th grader Ahshawn Moore added two Power Five offers this week when Virginia Tech and Auburn came calling. Moore was essentially a back up in his freshman season. He practiced and played alongside linebackers Tavante Beckett (Virginia Tech) and Jaquan…
by Andy Hilton, recruit757 The name might sound familiar. Older brother Bryce Stukes (JR FS/WR 6-0 170) graduates from Landstown next month and will go on to play college ball at Hampton University. Younger brother Brent Stukes is coming into his senior season and is picking up college scholarship offers. The Eagles college workout and…
by Brandon Mitchell, recruit757 It was last year that Curtis Morgan burst on the scene and made his stamp in the 757. This was right around the same time Morgan (JR/OL 6-1 280) picked up MVP honors at the Shuman’s NUC Showcase near Towne Bank Sportsplex. The FC product came from humbled beginnings and is…
by Brandon Mitchell, recruit757 It has come as a surprise we had to wait this long for Andre Jackson to receive his first offer. Jackson (JR WR 6-0 165) at times was overshadowed by fellow wide receivers Traonte Hamlin (SR WR 5-9 175) and Elijah Nelson (SR WR 6-2 205). This wasn’t because Andre was…
by Andy Hilton, recruit757 Smithfield is on a roll. Linebacker Jack Darden (JR LB 6-2 220) has picked up a scholarship offer from Hampton University and it’s a historic event for the school. For the first time in school history, Smithfield High School has two Division I scholarship (offered) athletes on the football team. Chris…
by Brandon Mitchell, recruit757 As we continue our coverage from the recruit757 College Prospect Assessment Camp, it was natural that the Peninsula showed up in great numbers. The Warwick Raiders brought a few players out looking to make a major impact on the day. Working with Coach Carson Cutler on the day was D.J. Nunn…
by Brandon Mitchell, recruit757 It was assumed that Cole Lytle (SO/QB) would assume the starting quarterback spot for Coach Doug Pereira last season. After a scrimmage against Woodside High School last summer we began to wonder if that would still be so. Insert Ramsey Hayyat. The freshman standout took over the starting quarterback spot to…
