Dondre Dobbins - 6'1 200 DB/Athlete - Scotlandville- not very fast, but knows how to play the game. SEC caliber player. MS State, Ole Miss, Auburn type kid. NFL type player.

Reco Beckwith 5'11 190 DB/Athlete Franklin Parish - another kid who hits hard. Ed Reed type of kid. Another mid-low level SEC type kid. www.hudl.com/athlete/940858/reco-beckwith

Nick Bickham - 6'4 240 - St. Amant - kid with more than just skills. Good kid, good football player. Always need them on the team. Could grow into a great DT player down the line. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_05mReedEo

CJ Gatlin - 6'3 210 QB - Ruston HS...

Are you suggesting something or simply pointing out some kids to watch?

6'4", 240 lbs seems small for a DT in the SEC.

Those two don't go together at all.

Not sure this computes. To make it in the NFL must be "fast" and good. Athletic ability is preferred to "nose for the football" especially in the defensive backfied.

But I am sure the kid is a great high school player and will likely be a sound college football player, but the further up the ladder you go, where everyone is "fast" the more you will be exposed.

I don't think Dobbins is that overlooked, he is a great DB and Scotlandville is full of speed and athleticism on that roster!

That kid had some really good games and a couple of bad ones last year. Don't know if it was due to competition or him being young and erratic. If he plays better consistently with better players around him at Ruston, he could get some decent offers. He has a pretty good arm and made some really good throws in some of his better games last year. Saw them beat East Jeff in the playoffs last year and was impressed with a couple of plays he made.

Interesting how his dad went from the head coach at Alexandria High to Ruston's offensive coordinator.
Some Ruston fans are hoping he's their Mettsiah.

There was one last year.(All-state) Led the state in passing.(over 3000yds) Junior year was second in state passing.5 time 5A player of the week both seasons.Finished high school as a two year starter with 76 total TD's.Had 14 td's in the 5A playoffs and led his team to the final four . Lost to West Monroe but game went to final 6 min.Was referenced by two Saints coaches. Knows the game. He was told by Frank Wilson he was the best QB in the state but they would not recruit a 6' QB...Told him if e was 6'2" he was in. Tough to swallow but it is what it is. He was offered by Petrino last minute on NSD but passed to go to a smaller college. He's very happy with his deal but growing up around here who wouldn't want to be a Tiger. Actually has put on more muscle since season. up to 188lbs now.
