Jabrill Peppers has agreed to blog for USA Today about his life and football recruitment.  Here's a link to his first entry... which also has a link to his music video.

#18 in-state ranked player for the 2013 class. He is Mr. everything on his team: RB, WR, CB, SS, FS, KR, PR. Guy has a single offer that is from Toledo.

Doubt he gets a look from Hoke since it is so late in the game. Still, he looks like a good fit to multiple positions.

With the first High School All-American game scheduled for this weekend and most of the games having their practices start next week, I thought I would start a thread to discuss our recruits and prospects to watch this coming week.

It is a slow Sunday so I looked up at Scout on their 2013 punter rankings. A few of them are still available if we do go to 28 total. I am in particular interested in knowing if we can get that Rutgers commit if we do offer one punter.
