re: Peyton Houston vs Capt Shreve

There was one year when recruiting rankings actually started, 2002, I believe, that Evangel had 4 players in the top 100 rankings. They had 3 QBs who were #1 overall rated in their class and I believe #1 overall recruit in the country their respective year, Josh Booty, Brock Berlin, and John David Booty. It was a down year between them when they had like the #80 overall recruit, top 5 QB, Brent Rawls. Peyton Houston, although 20 years later after JD Booty, will be another one. I think Phillip Deas was another 4 star or 5 star so that'd make 6.

I know they had to of either paid players or set up parents with good gig jobs, but I just don't know how there were that many in the Shreveport area to produce like they did. Unless they brought from further regions.

Since recruiting rankings weren't really published on sites like 247 until 2002, who knows what kind of players that had before 2002.

I hear the most talented player to go through Evangel was Eric Jefferson though in the mid-90s. He was a 5 star top 3 or so recruit Defensive Tackle from Shreveport Ghettos. Went to Illinois which was kind of puzzling, but he had such deep seeded issues that ended up going to prison for something, but heard he just obliterated any OL he went up against like they were toddlers. Like Glenn Dorsey or better.
