Instead of Marcus Dupree, it should have been Cecil Collins on the ESPN 30 for 30: The Best that Never Was
Good comparison.
Marcus Dupree in high school: As a senior year in 1981, he rushed for 2,955 yards and scored 36 touchdowns. He finished his high school career with 7,355 rushing yards with an 8.3-yards-per-carry average. Dupree scored 87 touchdowns total during his playing time in high school
Cecil Collins High school:he amassed 99 touchdowns and 7,833 yards over his high school football career including 3079 yards during his senior season. Leesville was the 4A state runner-up that year and Cecil was selected as Louisiana's very first "Mr. Football".
Very similar careers, but Dupree lasted long enough in college to make a name for himself. With a full year Collins would have been just as good.
Edit: Faulk was no slouch in High school either:Faulk helped his team win the 1992 State Championship (Class 5A). In high school, Faulk rushed for 4,877 yards on 603 carries (8.1 yards per carry). He also had 7,612 all-purpose yards and 89 touchdowns.[1] He was twice chosen as Louisiana's Most Valuable Player (Class 5A). He was also given All-American Honors by USA Today and Parade.
