Great pickup...he seemed to be creating a lot of havoc in the state title game...

We beat out some good competition for this one. LSU, Auburn, OU, Nebraska, Stanford, Boston College, Minnesota among others had already offered.

good news!

Wow, Scout has Okafor ranked as the #3 overall DE in the country : The Link. He's also in the Rivals250, expecting him to rise from #212 as the season progresses.

Man, I heard a live radio interview with that kid on one of the local AM sports stations (1530 maybe) on the way home yesterday, and we are lucky to have him. He sounds very bright and was surprisingly articulate, for a high school kid. (you know what I mean)

Welcome to 40 Acres, Alex!

Whitewater - he had an offer and strongly considered Stanford...he's no dummy.

Okafor videos

Film looks good. Reminds me a lot of Crowder. Looks bigger than 215 in that video.

I like this guy more and more. Sounds like he is already trying to recruit for us. Look at this quote he made to Calvin Howell recently regarding OU :

I just noticed that about the 8th highlight is Okafor tracking down our own Aaron Williams on a zone read play. Okafor looks solid.

I was up late last night doing some stuff and there was a replay of the Pflugerville v Katy Championship game. i watched the first half and it got my blood pumpin for some football. Anyways, there was a period late in the first half where Okafor just could not be stopped. The announcers were gushing over him, saying things like, "They're double-teaming him, and holding him, and he can't be stopped!" And Katy's line was no slouch. Not to mention all of the other top competition that couldn't stop Okafor last year (Leander, Dallas Carter, Klein Forest, Longview, Abiline, etc...) 5ATexasfootball.com ranks Pflugerville as having the 2 D-Line in the state behind only Lufkin. Now if only we could get one of those Lufkin guys to commit, oh, I dunno, maybe a DT or something...... Anyways, the whole point of this post is that I'm super pumped about football being around the corner, and this '09 class has the chance to really be something special.

Also, do any of you Austin-area folks plan on going to see Okafor this year? I already have plans to attend the Pflugerville v Westlake game, and I may go see Austin High to see Emory Blake, and maybe the Bowie or Leander (do they have any prospects?) games. Also, what would be a good game to go check out Garrett Gilbert? Thanks.

Damn. I didn't know P-Ville fans were trashy. Any particular reason that makes them trashy?

I plan to go watch Seastrunk when Temple comes to town Sept 5. Versus Cedar Park, at Bible Stadium in Leander.
