NJs St. Augustine has three in 08

Head coach Dennis Scuderi out of Richland (N.J.) St. Augustine claims to have three potential Division I prospects in the class of 2008. Who are his talented prospects and what colleges are showing interest?

The first is a big, 6-foot-4, 200-pound wide receiver Josh Thompson.

"I think he could be a big-time player," he said. "He's got great hands and outstanding body control.

"Off the field, he's a great young man that is very coachable, polite and comes from a good family. He is also a good student."

Thompson is reportedly receiving interest from plenty of colleges including Iowa, Rutgers, Arizona State, Penn State, Ohio State and Pittsburgh.

On defense, the star is 6-foot-6, 250-pound end Jack Crawford.

"Iowa, Rutgers, Arizona State, Penn State, Michigan and Ohio State are showing interest," he said. "He's one that could probably play defensive end or tight end in college.

"He's got great hands and is still learning the game. Out on the field, he looks like a man among boys and his speed is unbelievable. I truly feel he could play either position in college, I think he's that good.

"Jack is another very coachable kid that will run through a wall for you. He's a kid that wants to be successful. As a person, he's a qualify kid that works hard and is a good student. He also comes from a good family."

Rounding out the group is 6-foot-1, 225-pound linebacker Angel Clyborn.

"He's a running back and linebacker for us, but I would think he's more of a linebacker type in college," he said. "He's not that breakaway guy on offense, but he's a strong runner and could be a fullback too. On defense, he goes sideline to sideline and does a great job with the run and pass. He's another character kid that is a hardworker."

Schools including Iowa, Penn State, Ohio State and Arizona State have already inquired about Clyborn.
