Offer is off to Wake!

Offer is off to Wake!

When Jim Grobe took over as head coach of Wake Forest, he made Florida a top priority on the recruiting trail. They landed prospects like Alphonso Smith who went on to have an All-American type career before going to the NFL. Led by ace recruiter Ray McCartney the Demon Deacons have done a good job of recruiting the sun-shine state. Yesterday the Deacs landed Gods Power Offor. The talented defensive end is one of the best prospects that no one talks about in South Florida. Along with Wake the SEC came into Florida and landed two very good prospects in Roderick Ryles (Arkansas) and Thomas Finnie (South Carolina). Marshall came into Florida and nabbed Dontae West.

Gods Power Offor: (Committed to Wake Forest)-Our first look at Offer came last season. He is a raw prospect with plenty of upside. With Power Offor, Wake got a kid who has the frame to get bigger and stronger. He could end up at defensive end or as a standout outside linebacker who can rush the passer off the edge. His greatest attribute is his length. He has long arms which will allow him to keep offensive tackles away from his body. He also has a pretty good first step off the ball. His ability to get by lineman is big. We like his ability to also stop the run. With a RS year and some time in a college weight program Offor could end up a very good player in college. He also is very good in the classroom.

Roderick Ryles: (Committed to Arkansas)-When you look at Dr. Phillips secondary there are not many teams who could be better. Ryles is part of a loaded secondary this season. He can play either safety or cornerback in college. It will depend on what type of defensive scheme that he plays in. Ryles is a good enough athlete to play on either side of the football. What we like is Ryles is both good in coverage and coming up and playing the run. He does not mind contact. http://drphillips.elitescoutingservices.com/highlights/roderickryles.html

Thomas Finnie-(Committed to South Carolina)-Finnie was one of our favorite cornerbacks in South Florida. He is physical and Finnie can cover. He has the ability to make up for mistakes once beaten deep. He also has good hips which allow him to turn and run with most receivers. Finnie is your typical dade county cornerback who wants to face the oppositions best.

Dontae West-(Committed to Marshall)-ESS was the first ones to put West name on the map. He is one of multiple Hialeah prospects who will end up with D1 offers this year. West can play on either side of the football but should settle in at cornerback. With his size (5′10) and speed (4.5) West should be a solid cornerback in college. He has to improve his technique but you can say that about many high school defensive backs. The good thing about West is he wants to compete. He gets after it on the football field.
