Skinny: Herrod is a tackling machine at strong safety and may be one of the top players in the entire nation for 2004.
"I've got about 15 offers now," said Herrod, who is drawing interest from some of the nation's top programs. "All of my favorites have offered and I'm considering all of them equally now. I grew up watching Michigan and Ohio State a lot, and they're in there."
While Herrod is also a stud at receiver, he expects to be recruited primarily at safety.
"Safety is definitely my best position and that's where most schools want me to play. I feel really natural there. I'm a very aggressive player, and on defense I'm really all over the field. My physical play sets me apart from a lot of players."
