14' RB/LB Rodney Clark Jr.

Looks like he has a small frame (the kid is jacked though).
Maybe a safety or RB?
We do need LB's with some speed but if he has some room to build.

I hope we offer soon, has the right attitude and works hard. He can play some ball, definitely would be a team guy and go getter on the field

could be al Wilson 2.0 but I would at least find out what he could do at RB before giving up on him at that position.

I would take Al Wilson 2.0 in a heartbeat! Chasing down running backs, wreaking havoc on QBS, and forcing fumbles at the most crucial times in the game. I would gladly take anyone who's close to an Al Wilson!

Al Wilson was a 5-star #1 SS in the country out of high school who had offers from every school in the country. Finding a talent like him is extremely rare.

I watched Wilson play in high school. He was a rb and all-state lb. I don't know what the recruiting agencies had him listed.

What recruiting agencies were there back then? I know rivals has been around for a long time, but there database only goes back to 2002.

Rivals was the National Recruiting Advisor back when Al Wilson was in high school. It was run by Bobby Burton and Jeremy Crabtree who then changed the name to Rivals in the late 90's. He was rated by them as the #1 SS in the country, 5* 6.1 and #25 overall prospect in the nation. Back then they broke down the safety positions into both FS and SS where now Rivals lists all the safeties together.

You had Superprep, Jeff Whittaker's Deep South Recruiting, and that Bama homer Forrest Davis in addition to NRA. Seems like there was one other, but Bobby Burton was always the best.

Btw, Whittaker had Wilson rated 9.75 out of 10, and Davis had him 4 stars IIRC.

Is Clark really in Wilson's league?

Totally agree. Burton to this day is/was the best talent evaluator there has been.

Back then he consistently rated guys high 4's or 5 stars who turned out to be All-American's in college that the other services completely missed on. Shaun Ellis was a perfect example of that.

Yeah Rivals is still benefiting from from his reputation back then, even though he is now their biggest competitor with 247.

Out of curiosity, how can one access those older ratings and rankings?

Has a great attitude and work ethic, and he is bigger than buff bagwell. Haven't heard anything new with UT recruiting him, wonder if his dad will come back on and give us a little report. Had a killer game Friday night, somebody will get a hard working skilled player.
