Tevin Horton is not TCU bound. Contrary to information that was posted about him previously, he does not have family in that area. His recruitment is wide open. There are several schools that he's interested in but he doesn't have one favorite. 2011 youtube highlights link

Donald Gage, ATH from Redemptorist High School isn't on the list yet. Any thoughts on him?

Duke Riley is a great kid. He plays with a chip on his shoulder. Between the lines and whistle, he's an aggressive, hard hitting LB. Off the field, the kid is very respectful. He acknowledges me with mister and sir and I respect him for that.

Torrey has a long, lean frame that the Bulldog staff can add weight to. He is strong and plays with good leverage. For the defensive system John Curtis plays, he more than holds his own at defensive end.
7) Jamal Sam - RB/LB - Westgate - Started as a freshman for a 5A semifinalist team. Westgate upset No. 1 seeded (and previously unbeaten) Dutchtown on the road in the quarterfinals. Sams (6-2, 210) finished sixth in the state in the 200 meters (22.06) this spring. Scored a pivotal touchdown in the Tigers' 14-7 win over Archbishop Shaw. Westgate opens the season against Breaux Bridge (LSU commits Lamar Louis, Travin Dural and Kavahra Holmes). The following week, the Tigers have a date with John Curtis Christian in the Superdome. The Curtis defense will load up the box vs. Westgate's Wing-T. The Patriots have a front seven that includes three-star DT Marcel Andry, DE Torrey Bell (Mississippi State commit) and Duke Riley (No. 9 ranked '13 prospect in Louisiana).
8) Laurence Jones - ATH - Neville - 6-foot-2, 200-pounder who intercepted three passes and recorded 15 tackles for the 4A Tigers. Also had three receptions for 64 yards, including a 42-yard gain vs. Marshall, Texas. One of Jones' picks came in Neville's 20-19 loss to Ruston. Teammates with '13 ATH John Diarse, who is the No. 3 ranked junior in the state. Will play in front of tons of college scouts this year, as Neville plays Ruston (Kentrell Brice, Cyril Noland), Woodlawn-BR (Torshiro Davis), Ouachita (Quentin Wheeler, Jamarcus Marshall, Jarrett Triplett), Airline (John Thomas) and Bastrop (Denzel Devall, Kyron Thompson).
9) Jeremy Jackson - RB - West St. John - Racked up between 700-and-800 yards rushing in 2010, including 123 yards and two touchdowns vs. Class 5A West Jefferson. Teammates with LSU commit Ronnie Feist. Listed as an eighth grader last year, but he plans to make up a year in the classroom before it's all said and done. Named to the All-Parish squad last season. He'll go head-to-head with White Castle stud RB Tyre Bracken in district competition. Last year, White Castle beat the Rams twice (12-0 in the regular season and 12-6 in the playoffs) en route to the Class A state championship.
10) Leondre James - WR - Donaldsonville - Caught 24 passes for 337 yards and 3 TDs in 2010. Also rushed for 126 yards and a couple more scores on 26 carries. Leading returning receiver for the Tigers, who move up from Class 2A to 3A this year. Will likely be QB Devon Breaux's favorite target. Breaux is committed to Tulane as an athlete. Season-high of 72 yards receiving (on 4 catches) in victory over Capitol. Hauled in two scoring strikes in that game.
11) Chris Lewis - ATH - Lakeside - Rumored to be the fastest freshman in the country. Reportedly clocked a 10.4 in his district track meet. Good friends with fellow track/football star Jeryl Brazil (No. 5 ranked player in the '13 class). Plays for a rural Class 2A school located in Sibley, Louisiana. His team takes a step up in non-district play early in the season vs. 4A Parkway (Bossier City).
8) Laurence Jones - ATH - Neville - 6-foot-2, 200-pounder who intercepted three passes and recorded 15 tackles for the 4A Tigers. Also had three receptions for 64 yards, including a 42-yard gain vs. Marshall, Texas. One of Jones' picks came in Neville's 20-19 loss to Ruston.

Class of '14 Top 11 Louisiana Prospects
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Leonard Fournette - RB - St. Augustine - Fournette is among the best running backs in the nation, regardless of classification. Virtually every major program in the country has either offered or plans to offer. The vast majority of pundits believe Fournette to be an LSU lock, thanks to the connections the Purple Knights have with Baton Rouge. LSU ace recruiter Frank Wilson is a St. Augustine grad, and he's landed the Purple Knights that he's gone after: Tyrann Mathieu, Trai Turner and Jonah Austin. It certainly doesn't hurt that the Tigers were the first to offer Fournette (6-1, 220). Last year, he ran for 238 yards in the season-opener vs. West Jefferson. Fournette finished the season with close to 1,800 yards for St. Aug, which drops down from Class 5A to 4A in 2011. He has brawn and speed, having placed first in the 200 meters and third in the 100 in the Catholic League district track meet. A few interesting matchups this fall for Fournette & St. Aug: Brother Martin & DE Julien Obioha (week two), Hahnville & DB Jerquinick Sandolph (LSU commit) (week four), Archbishop Shaw & DE Ryan Brown (South Florida commit) (week five) and East Jefferson & DB Derrick Raymond (LSU commit) (week nine).
2) Trey Quinn - WR - Barbe - When do you see a freshman receiver expose senior defensive backs at the 5A level? Not too often, but that's what Quinn accomplished last year. During the regular season, Quinn caught 42 passes for 966 yards (23 yards per catch) with 8 touchdowns. He was named to the MaxPreps U.S. Air Force Freshman All-American Team (only two other WRs made the first-team). Quinn regularly blew past various coverage schemes with his 4.5 speed. He's already a true home-run threat, which brings us to his baseball exploits. Quinn played for South Lake Charles in the 2008 Little League World Series. During the tourney, he tossed a no-hitter vs. Jeffersonville, Indiana. As a frosh, he starred for Barbe, which is a prominent baseball power. His teammate, TE Desean Smith, is our No. 4 ranked '13 prospect in Louisiana. Quinn made the Honorable-Mention All-State squad last year. He and the Bucs tangle with Evangel Christian on the road in early non-district play.
3) Gerald Willis - DL - Edna Karr - Collected 10 sacks for last year's 4A state runner-up. Willis, whose older brother is blue-chip safety Landon Collins (Dutchtown), teams up with seniors Leonard Washington and Darrian Dyson on the state's best defensive line. They'll be put to the test on Labor Day vs. Texas 5A program Arlington Bowie, which features QB Kolby Listenbee (TCU commit) and RB Russell Hansbrough (multiple BCS offers). Already 6-3, 260-265 pounds.
4) Elijah McGuire - ATH - Vandebilt Catholic - Dual-sport star favors hoops more than the gridiron at the moment, but he plans to play college football. As an eighth grader, was already the Terriers' best varsity basketball player. 5-10, 175. Played both quarterback and running back last year for the Houma-based Class 4A school. Ran for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the final game of the season (playoff loss to Bastrop). Brilliant ability to make sharp cuts when he has the football in his hands. VCHS has an intriguing non-district matchup in week three vs. St. Charles Catholic (RB Lazedrick Thompson, DB Jeffrey Hall, DE/LB La'Jaylin Smith). McGuire says he favors LSU, Duke, Kentucky, Syracuse, Georgetown and Alabama.
5) Blake Roussel - LB - Lutcher - Earned All-District honors last year. Also a headhunter on special teams. Displays savage tackling ability on film - stops ball carriers in their path at the point of contact. 6-1, 205. He grew up facing talented teammates in practice (Jarvis Landry, Daniel Taylor, Dorian Semien). Plays alongside underrated safety Kyron Jackson and corner Jordan Batiste (Ole Miss commit). Makes tackles from sideline-to-sideline. Very aggressive, hard-nosed inside linebacker. Throwback, Dick Butkus-type.
6) Donovan Isom - QB - Destrehan - Young signal-caller has terrific size (already in the 6-3 to 6-4 range) and the luxury of throwing to WR Rickey Jefferson (the No. 1 ranked '13 prospect in Louisiana). Last year, Isom completed a 90-yard touchdown pass in the Wildcats' come-from-behind 27-20 win over East Ascension. Destrehan will undertake a challenging 2011 slate that includes Edna Karr (CB Noel Ellis), Dutchtown (S Landon Collins), East St. John (QB/DB Darion Monroe) and Hahnville (DB Jerquinick Sandolph).

Yes it is. He's been writing some good articles previewing 2012, 2013 and 2014 student athletes.
re: Louisiana top 2013 prospects
Posted by BigBull44 on 6/17/11 at 3:35 pm to TigerAlum93
I got it from the Louisiana High School scout.com site.
16) Sergio Medina - S - Hahnville (5-11, 195) - Teammate and fellow DB Jerquinick Sandolph is already committed to LSU, and Medina will join Sandolph in the SEC if he continues to progress at the current rate. Medina made numerous timely tackles and interceptions last year for the Tigers. Runs a 23.00 in the 200 meters.
17) David Elias - DL - Dutchtown (6-3, 265) - Made first-team all-district for the Griffins, who were the No. 1 seed in the 2010 5A playoffs. Could eventually outgrow DE and move down to DT. Has superior speed for his size and age (4.9).
18) Kenneth Santa Maria - OT - McDonogh #35 (6-6, 340) - The next Derek Edinburgh? Could be. Performed well at last week's LSU football camp.
19) Deshaun Diggs - RB - Terrebonne (5-10, 185) - Does his future lie in football or basketball? Diggs averaged 24 points per game as a sophomore on the hardwood for Terrebonne, which is a 5A program. On the gridiron, he gained 861 yards rushing with 14 TDs. Ask New Iberia about him. Diggs ripped through the Yellow Jackets' D for 142 yards and 2 TDs on only 12 carries in a 23-20 loss.
20) Kendall Beckwith - QB - East Feliciana (6-3, 220) - Led East Feliciana, a first-year program, to a berth in the 2A semifinals (lost to John Curtis). Threw for approximately 1,600 yards with 18 TDs and only 4 interceptions. Added 863 yards rushing with 15 TDs.
21) Chris Taylor - OG - Zachary (6-3, 320) - Surprisingly agile and quick on his feet. Is able to get down the field and take care of business on screens. Also is a destructive blocker who is able to get out of his stance and clears the way on traps and counters.
22) Jay Washington - S - St. Paul's (6-0, 185) - Started on one of the state's best defenses as a sophomore. Was teammates with four-star DT Mickey Johnson, who is now at LSU. Washington helped the Wolves to a perfect regular season in 2010. He was among the team's top tacklers. Washington camps today with Southern Miss and Southeastern in Hammond. Intercepted two passes vs. Ponchatoula.
23) Donald Gage - WR - Redemptorist (5-11, 165) - Named WR MVP at the Baton Rouge NUC. Could be a candidate for breakout player of the year in the Baton Rouge area. The Wolves probably won't run the football as often, now that RB Jeremy Hill and OT Lael Collins have graduated. Gage runs a 4.48 and has the hops to get up in the air and grab the jump ball.
24) Claude George - DE/LB - Acadiana (6-1, 205) - 4.63 speed. Weight is temporarily down after having his tonsils removed. Spent the bulk of his time at DE last year, but is a hybrid who can play standing up just as well. Recorded 10.5 sacks and recovered a crucial fumble that led to the winning score in the Class 5A state championship game vs. West Monroe.
25) Tevin Horton - RB - John Curtis Christian (5-10, 190) - When you watch his highlight film, it brings back memories of a young Kenny Cain (now a LB at TCU). Horton is bullish when he takes the ball on the dive. Once in the open field, he's able to either slip past, run through or run past defenders.
26) Jermaine Antoine - ATH - Loreauville (5-10, 170) - Named DB MVP at yesterday's Lafayette NUC. Already a seasoned player -- has started since his freshman year for the remotely-located Bayou-Area program. Can play WR or DB (or kick returner). Helped team to the Class 2A quarterfinals last year (lost to eventual state champ Evangel Christian). Interesting opener this fall vs. Central Catholic ('12 LB/S Lloyd Grogan, '13 WR Dontrell Brown).
27) Shelby Christy - WR - Dutchtown (6-3, 175) - Has all the physical tools. Exceptional leaping ability. Doesn't mind blocking and does a good job at it. State qualifier in both the long jump and triple jump.
28) Justin Williams - WR - Terrebonne (6-2, 210) - Caught 31 passes for 462 yards in 2010. Grabbed 6 catches for 109 yards and 2 TDs in his team's 49-14 win over Central Lafourche.
29) Tredavious White - WR - Green Oaks (5-10, 175) - Hauled in 52 receptions last year and averaged 25-plus yards per kick return. Good concentration. Makes the catch, even when he knows the big hit is forthcoming.
30) Darian Claiborne - LB - Port Allen (6-1, 220) - Aggressive head-hunter who doesn't mind throwing his body around the field with reckless abandon.
30) TIE Damien Williams - QB - Archbishop Rummel (6-1, 215) - Has plenty of experience - been a starter since his freshman year. Threw for almost 1,100 yards last season for a team that isn't known for having a wide-open offense.
17) David Elias - DL - Dutchtown (6-3, 265) - Made first-team all-district for the Griffins, who were the No. 1 seed in the 2010 5A playoffs. Could eventually outgrow DE and move down to DT. Has superior speed for his size and age (4.9).
18) Kenneth Santa Maria - OT - McDonogh #35 (6-6, 340) - The next Derek Edinburgh? Could be. Performed well at last week's LSU football camp.

Class of '13 Top 30 Louisiana Football Prospects
1) Rickey Jefferson - WR - Destrehan ( 6-0, 185) - Younger brother of LSU QB Jordan Jefferson. Received an offer from the Tigers last week at their football camp. Also played RB last year for the Wildcats, who try to get him as many touches as possible. Loves to get the ball on a speed sweep and pick his way through a defense. The complete package: speed, hands, leaping ability and confidence.
2) Kaleb Blanchard - RB - Denham Springs (6-1, 190) - Tough runner between the tackles who shows a breakaway burst in the open field. Rushed for close to 1,800 yards last year and averaged 9.5 yards per carry on a Class 5A team. Gashed Catholic-BR for 196 yards and 2 touchdowns in a 41-34 loss.
3) John Diarse - ATH - Neville (6-1, 200) - Another prospect who has starred since his freshman year for a large school power. Rang up close to 2,200 yards of total offense as a QB in 2010. Could move to his more natural position (wide receiver) if QB Jamond Collins (transfer from Carroll) is cleared to play. Diarse is just as effective when he's on the defensive side of the ball (at DB).
4) Desean Smith - TE - Barbe (6-4, 220) - Listed as a TE, but he frequently lines up at wide receiver (mainly in the slot) in the Buccaneers' spread offense. Big target who wants the football in his hands. Isn't shy about calling for the ball. Teams up with '14 WR Trey Quinn to form arguably the best pass-catching duo in the state. Reports are circulating that Smith got an offer from Texas A&M last week.
5) Jeryl Brazil - ATH - Loranger (5-9, 175) - Fastest player in the state, along with Derrick Raymond (East Jefferson). Won both the 100 and 200 state titles as a sophomore in 3A. Ran a sizzling 4.35 at the New Orleans Under Armour Combine. Got his first offer last week from LSU. Scored 21 touchdowns in 2010.
6) Deondre Skinner - WR/TE - Patterson (6-3, 210) - Plays tight end for now, but the future holds many possibilities for Skinner, who reports an early offer from Texas A&M. Catches the ball well in traffic. Nice red-zone target due to size mismatches with smaller CBs.
7) Ryan Hoefeld - OL - Brother Martin (6-3, 265) - Filled both offensive tackle slots last year for the Crusaders. Paved the way for RB Dante' Butler's wildly successful year. Already holds the school bench press record (350 pounds). Could project as a guard or center on the next level. Tremendous leg drive.
8) X'Zavier Preston - LB - Evangel Christian (5-11, 225) - Ideal physique for an inside linebacker. With Jermauria Rasco gone to LSU, this is the next big name on deck for ECA defensive coordinator Byron Dawson. Built like a freight train.
9) Duke Riley - LB - John Curtis Christian (6-1, 195) - Aggressive, hard-nosed LB who can line up outside or inside (plays inside for Curtis). Takes good angles to the football and is fluid in pass coverage. Chases down plays from sideline-to-sideline. Led the Patriots in tackles last year.
10) Noel Ellis - CB - Edna Karr (5-10, 170) - Shut down and/or neutralized some marquee receivers last year (Dwayne Benjamin, Charles Henderson). Basically took away one side of the field for the 4A runner-up Cougars. Plays bigger than his size would indicate. Picked off nine passes in 2010.
11) Larry Cage - LB - Zachary - (6-2, 190) - Equally adept at both stopping the run and dropping back into coverage. Lines up all over the field (DE, ILB, OLB) for head coach Neil Weiner. Displays uncanny ability to read and diagnose plays for a young prospect playing 5A football. Ran a 4.40 at the Baton Rouge NUC.
12) Karl Malone - OL - Cedar Creek (6-4, 285) - Son of the former Louisiana Tech and NBA great picked up his first offer recently (from Alabama). Plays for a small private school, but the Crimson Tide's offer will dispel any talk that Malone needs to transfer to Ruston High in order to prove himself against tougher competition.
13) Carlton Perkins - RB - Walker (5-11, 175) - Comes from the same area as fellow '13 stud RB Kaleb Blanchard. Walker (not to be confused with O.P. Walker in the metro New Orleans area), in fact, is Denham Springs' arch-rival. Perkins, like Blanchard, has surprising strength for a player his age and size. Ran a 4.55 at the Baton Rouge NUC.
14) Christopher Robinson - DT - Woodlawn-SH (6-2, 250) - Joins four-star DE/LB Torshiro Davis on the Knights' defensive line. Will get to showcase his skills in front of a large amount of college scouts this year. Reports an early Mississippi State offer.
15) Josh Thomas - OT - Evangel Christian (6-5, 290) - Should blossom into a highly-recruited offensive lineman over the course of the next several months.
