Just In…Top 150 Football Recruits from Class of 2009

Published just this week were ESPN’s top 150 players from the class of 2009. The number one rated player is Matt Barkley who is a Quarterback from Dei High School in Santa Ana, California. The things that put him at number one are his accuracy, fancy footwork, almost-perfect mentality and how he already has the size and mindset of a college quarterback. He has signed with USC and will be attending the school in fall of 2009. Another player that will become an immediate help for their team is Russel Shepard who has signed with the LSU Tigers. He is a very versatile player and does not just play one position; he can play wide receiver or quarterback. He is extremely fast and unprecedented in his quickness because he can turn on a dime. He also does not take to many big hits because he plays smart and stays low to the ground in order to break tackles. His quickness gives him a faster first step then most players and this make him a huge threat for anyone who will play LSU next year. The number the three player in the nation, Aaron Murray, has verbally committed to Georgia and, pending his signing, should be an effective backup for their junior quarterback, Matthew Stafford. Although it is unknown if Stafford will go to the NFL this year which then could open up a spot for Aaron Murray to show to the world how damn good he is. He as an incredibly strong arm and the quickest release ever seen by the scouts (yes faster than Payton and Brady) but the best thing about him is his size and athleticism he is 6’1” and weighs only 195 and runs an extremely blazing 4.8 forty which for a quarterback that is like Michael Vick speed. He has only one weakness is that he is “sort of” injury prone” and has a little problem with accuracy. Other than his little problems he is one hell of a quarterback and deserves his ranking of third in the nation. Many other players are on this list I just do not have the time to mention all of them, so sorry if I did not mention your favorite High School Superstar or just overall favorite player.
