He has been listed as one of the top juniors in the state by several college football and recruiting magazines. Don't forget Twion Shealer and Casey Gary, who combined for more than 700 yards rushing and six touchdowns. Between those five players, the yardage returning comes just shy of the 5,000 mark. The offensive leaders combined for 348 points last season. Who wouldn't be impressed with those numbers.

The team gave up nearly 24 points per game last year. The Tigers will likely play the 1999 season without six of their 10 leading tacklers from a year ago. So headed into the season, scoring should not be a problem. Stopping people will be the key. The Georgia High School Football magazine also came out last week, listing Commerce as the sixth-best team in the state.
