Who knew that recruiting classes could be finished by June? That seems to be Tennessee’s goal, as they gained a commitment from 3-star defensive back De’Shawn Rucker on Sunday.
Rucker is an early candidate for “Best recruit whose ranking doesn’t match their offer list” and simultaneously “Best recruit whose ranking doesn’t match their film.” Right now Rucker is tagged as the 512th overall player and 32nd best safety. That is, quite simply, not how staffs across the south are treating him.
While we don’t have insider access to their coaching offices, Rucker would almost certainly be a take for schools like Clemson, Florida State, Auburn, and more.
