College football recruiting, much like anything in sports, can be prone to its fair share of hyperbole.
Still, sometimes a statement is made so plainly it at first seems completely normal and then, after a beat, it catches you a bit off-guard.
Grayson High recruiting coordinator Kenyatta Watson Sr. on Friday afternoon told the Journal Star that Nebraska football’s newest verbal commitment, running back Ronald Thompkins II, is the best football player the Rams have. Period. No argument about it.
That’s Grayson High, which has at least 11 Class of 2019 players verbally pledged to Power Five schools.
