Elite local talent high on WRU

One of the most talented young prospects in the state of South Carolina is wide receiver Jaleel Skinner of Greer (S.C.) High School.

The 6-foot-5, 205-pound sophomore possesses the combination of size, speed (4.53 40-yard dash) and athleticism (34-inch vertical jump) that college football coaches covet.

“I would describe myself as a receiver who can use breakout speed to get open and score,” Skinner told The Clemson Insider.

Skinner is the top prospect in the Palmetto State, No. 13 wide receiver nationally and No. 82 overall prospect in the class of 2022 according to 247Sports.

South Carolina and Virginia Tech have already offered Skinner, who is getting mail from schools across the South and figures to see many more offers come his way before all is said and done.
