Multiple players from one school

To bring in many kids from the same high school isn't that unusual for Indiana, or any other school. When Cam Cameron was coach, he brought in 3 players from Detroit Cass Tech HS in one year. Last season, Coach Hep recruited several kids from Warren Central HS and Madison Trotwood HS in Ohio. He was successful in luring Chris Adkins and Jeff Boyd and Bret Ellington (walk-on) from Warren Central, and of course at one point had Finch committed too.

Now this season, as you have read about on both the Scout and Peegs boards, IU is once again going after multiple players from one school hoping to get them all to commit. Let's look at all 3 and see what each bring to the table. They all attend Golden Gate HS in Naples, FL and are being recruited by Billy Lynch.

1. Anthony Mains is a 6'6" 215 DE and the one that has been featured on both Scout and Rivals last week. Anthony, a former QB, run in the 4.7 range and produced 65 tackles, 9 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 blocked punt, and 1 blocked FG. Pretty impressive stats for a guy that one played DE for the first time last season. He's got a slew of offers, but likes IU because IU has offered 2 of this teammate.

2. J.D. Woods is a 6'2" 180 WR/FS prospect. JD is an all around athlete who has already put up 1000 points in bball and has done very well in track. He's also ran a 4.5 at a recent camp in Florida. Besides IU's offer, he also possess one from West Virginia (Main's does too). Last season, Woods carried the ball twice for 18 yards, had 28 catches for 584 yards with a long of 91 yards, and 9 TDs. On defense JD 21 tackles. He also returned 5 kicks for 66 yards before they started squibbing it away from him.

3. Peter St. Fort is a 6'1" 175 DB prospect. Peter is the lesser known of the 3, but very good friends to both. He reminds me a lot of what Chris Adkins was to the WC kids last season. Reeling him in, would really help bring the other 2. Chris was extremely instrumental in help the IU staff last season, especially with Finch. Peter played defense only last season and recorded 59 tackles, 2 INTs, and 1 fumble recovery. He also returned 2 kicks for 20 yards. He has reported ran a 4.6 at a recent camp in Florida. He has also been offered by IU, so that puts IU as the only school to have offered all 3 of these kids, at least so far.

Golden Gate HS went 5 and 5 last season, so these kids didn't get all that much exposure, but Billy Lynch and Matt Canada both managed to attend a game they played in last season.

Also, a name to remember for next season, Nahum St. Fort a 6'3" 325 OL/DL prospect. Not sure if he's related to Peter or not (I can only assume he is), but the staff is already recruiting him as well. Stay tuned on this kid.
