Pulaski County has two more to watch
Running back Nubian Peak isn't the only prospect getting looks out of Dublin (Va.) Pulaski County. The school features two other prospects to keep an eye on this year, both on defense.
One of those is 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive tackle Josh Miller.

"I'm getting letters from Virginia Tech, Virginia, Purdue, JMU, Clemson and Duke," he said. "I'm going down to Duke for camp on Saturday. I'm also going to some smaller colleges, JMU and Elon for camps coming up."
Recently Miller attended Virginia Tech's camp.
"I didn't lose in any of the pass rush drills. The coaches told me I have national ability, but they are stacked at defensive tackle."
With that in mind, does anybody stick out to Miller?
"I kind of like Purdue," he said. "I like how their criminal justice program is and they play really hard.
"Honestly though I just am looking for somewhere that will take me in life. I want somewhere that will give me a good education."
Miller posted 76 tackles, six sacks, nine tackles for loss and one deflection as a junior on his way to second team all-state honors.
Another player to watch out of Pulaski County is 6-foot-0, 247-pound linebacker Brandon Hadzard.
"I've been talking to Virginia Tech, Clemson, Maryland, North Carolina and Marshall," he said. "I was at Virginia Tech last week, my dad graduated from there and played on the team. I want to follow in his success.
"I did pretty well. I talked to Coach Hite and Foster. They want me to do better in linebacking and get my speed up a bit."
Hadzard plans to hit more camps soon.
"I'd say my next camp is Duke on Saturday and then I'm going to try to go to Clemson, NC State, JMU, Virginia Tech and Virginia," he said. "For me, I want good academics and good surroundings."
Hadzard earned all-district honors both ways as a junior.
