Pulaski County has two
Pulaski (Va.) Pulaski County is home to two versatile prospects in Brent Osbourne and Kevin Crouse. The two are starting to receive interest from schools in the ACC, Big East, Big Ten and others according to Pulaski County head coach Jack Turner.
The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Osbourne has gotten mail from a a handful of schools including Duke, Virginia, Boston College, Clemson, Maryland, Northwestern, West Virginia and the Ivy League.

"Brent is the No. 1 student in his class and a lot of the academic schools are looking at him," Turner said. "I would think he'd look in that direction, but I have no idea if he has any favorites right now."
Last season Osbourne registered 47 tackles and six sacks as he was named second team all-district.
"Each year he plays for us he has gotten better and of course he is getting bigger and stronger every day," he said. "The thing about Brent is that he is a real hard worker too. He gives a real good effort on the field and is versatile enough to play either side of the line."
The 5-foot-10, 210-pound Crouse is in the same situation.
"He could go either way as a running back or linebacker as well," he said. "It's hard to say what colleges are thinking. He is receiving mail from Georgia, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Maryland, North Carolina and West Virginia.
"I've asked Kevin if he has any favorites and he doesn't say who he likes or dislikes. Being from this area though, I think he may be partial to the local schools."
The linebacker prospect earned all-district, all-region and all-state honors last season after rushing for 1,600 yards and 22 touchdowns.
"Kevin is an outstanding running back that runs with power and speed," he said. "He has the ability to run over a defender and continues to get a lot quicker and stronger this offseason. We're expecting even bigger things out of him next year."
