Hutchins has a leader

Alexander City (Ala.) Benjamin Russell linebacker Labronski Hutchins raised his stock dramatically at the Athens NIKE camp picked up offers right and left. Now he has a top five.

"My top five schools would be Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, Louisville and Clemson," Hutchins said. "Tennessee would be my top school. I talk to coach Chavis and he makes Tennessee sound like a real good place. I'm going up there to visit at the end of the month. Auburn is right behind them. My cousin plays there and I'm real familiar with the program."

The 6-foot-3, 177-pound Hutchins attended the Athens NIKE camp where he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.44 seconds, the shuttle in 4.37 seconds and posted a 32-inch vertical jump.

"I am going to take my visits and I will probably decide sometime toward the end of the season," Hutchins said.

"For me it's not really about playing time. I want to play in the SEC or at least for a program that is going to have a chance to play for a national championship while I'm there and that's why I like the five schools I do."

Hutchins is ranked as the No. 20 player in the state of Alabama and a three-star prospect by Rivals.com.
