thigpen is a vol
need to change your heading – says committed defensive tackles. Other than that, thanks for the info.
Removed Thigpen – this was written before he committed (he is already off the main recruiting board).
Lichty, thanks for the heads up. That is fixed as well.
says that Ryan Campbell from Columbus, GA (a nice little military town, i might add) is a “Super-fast track star who is a HS teammate of Kevin Newsome.” Any relevant notes, besides being originally from Michigan?
