Recruiting Analyst
Anthony Rabasa is a defensive end from south Florida to keep a close eye on. Rabasa, now 6-3 and 235 pounds, plays from Miami Columbus. Last season he recorded 85 tackles and 13 sacks.
"I get off the ball and get to the QB," Rabasa said. "I can stop the run and just am a versatile defensive end. I want to bring more power to my game. I have actually put on 15 pounds already and still have the same speed (4.7 forty)."
According to Rabasa he has scholarship offers from Miami, FSU, FIU, Minnesota, and N.C. State.
"They have all offered and teams like Michigan, Cincinnati, Rutgers, Tennessee, UCLA, Notre Dame, Maryland, and Clemson are all recruiting me hard and I think they should all offer me soon."
So far Rabasa has seen Florida State, Miami and Rutgers. He most recent trip was to Tallahassee for a junior day at FSU.
"It was a great time. I actually talked with Jimbo Fisher twice. That was pretty cool. I saw the coaching staff and how system is. I like the new coaches. They seem like a great group of guys that know the direction they are going in.
"Right now I am just open with the process. I want to see as many schools as I can."
Rabasa says he would like to visit Notre Dame and Oregon. He's in the process of putting out more tapes to schools and then he wants to see who offers.
