Question: WR Jaylon Denson?

[ElephanTideis]

Where did this guy come from? I was looking at the state rankings on rivals and all of a sudden he is number 5. I had never heard of him before now. Do any of you know anything about him?

He apparently completely dominated some 7-on-7 tournament that Rivals was evaluating.

Granted, it's not unheard of for guys to "come out of nowhere" every year, but making him a top-5 player in the state based on a 7-on-7 event is probably a bit of an overreaction.

Besides, with a coach on our staff who was recently at Hoover (Pruitt), I'd have a hard time thinking we wouldn't have known about Denson if he was a top player. Just my guess -- I haven't seen the kid play, so I don't know.

That's a video to him at the 7 on 7 tournament. He supposedly stood out at an Auburn camp causing them to offer him on the spot. He played fairly well against Brynes of SC two weekends ago on ESPN.

They rank Denson as the 195th player nationally and the number 19 WR. They rank Danny Woodson the 96th player nationally but the number 22 WR. Explain that one to me.

That would mean its not a deep year for recievers.
Auburn is an SEC team with a good recruiting staff and will recruit well. like it or not, they too can get good players.

But what I am asking is how they rank Denson higher on the WR list (Denson #19...Woodson #22), but they then rank Woodson higher overall (Denson #195...Woodson #96).

Does Woodson play multiple positions?

maybe they update position rankings and overall rankings at different times.

That No. 96 overall ranking for Woodson is out of date -- he was No. 96 on the first Rivals100, but he dropped out on the last update.

Besides the fact that apparently they didn't update Woodson profile, I can't explain anything that any of the recruiting sites do, especially their star ratings and rankings. lol
