I really want to go to an SEC school. Tennessee is one of my favorite schools. I am going to camp at LSU and Alabama.

Tyrann Mathieu from New Orleans (La.) St. Augustine doesn't have any offers and there wasn't much known about him before today but don't be surprised if one is on the way from Tennessee. He was unbelievable in pass coverage. As a pure cover guy, I just can't imagine how a kid could have had a better performance than he had today. Doesn't have ideal height but he has awesome hips and ridiculous makeup speed.

He is gonna shoot up the boards after what he did today. At least you would think he would.

[bburger991]

Only concern would be height since he's only 5'9, but that isn't too major of an issue. A bunch of guys excel at that height. We'd just have to make sure he doesn't get matched up on any 6'3+ WRs

Pick a dinosaur, chop off part of its name, and that's this guy's name.

Coach O and Frank Wilson leaving no stone unturned in finding talent in LA... their connections are turning up BIG right now with recommendations of kids from coaches and friends.

awesome.

Probably the best overall player at camp yesterday. He needs an offer right now. Top flight Elite-Cornerback prospect.

[EricFreakingBerry]

Excellent.

Still waiting on a guy with the nickname, "The Lie," though.

I wonder if he left with an offer

By the afternoon session, Mathieu was being called out by every coach or wide receiver that wanted a challenge. Even while taking the best shot from the best receivers in attendance, Mathieu won almost every rep. In a drill in which the defense is at a major disadvantage, breakups and pure stops are hard to come by but those plays became routine for Mathieu.

St. Aug is a powerhouse program in the New Orleans area that has been down somewhat recently. Its the same school that Raynoch Thompson came from. I think one or a couple of Frank's asst from his OP Walker days may be or have coached there if I recall......it is an all boys school where many of new orleans elite send their kids...
