Recruiting Roundup: Imhotep’s Enai White and Taleeq Robbins are piling up offers, and St. Augustine Prep’s Carnell Davis commits to Rutgers
On Wednesday, 6-foot-3, 280-pound junior defensive tackle Taleeq Robbins announced his 32nd scholarship offer, this one from Mississippi.
Imhotep Charter has two of the best football players in the area. Their college scholarship offers prove that point.
On Wednesday, 6-foot-3, 280-pound junior defensive tackle Taleeq Robbins announced his 32nd scholarship offer, this one from Mississippi.
On Tuesday, Robbins’ teammate, Enai White, announced his 32nd offer, also from Ole Miss.
Between the two players, that’s 64 scholarship offers and counting.
Both players have offers from, among others, Cincinnati, Arizona State, Washington, Michigan, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Iowa State.
In addition to Mississippi, Robbins’ most recent offers are from Marshall, North Carolina State, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, and Wisconsin.
In February, White, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound sophomore defensive end, announced offers from Oklahoma and Oregon. His most notable offer is from the reigning national champion LSU Tigers.
With both players back next season, Imhotep should be a force again next season.
St. Augustine Prep
Carnell Davis, junior wide receiver
Davis announced on Twitter that he’s staying home to play football at Rutgers.
“I am staying home because I am ALL IN and ready to #CHOP,” the 6-foot, 170-pounder he said in his announcement on Twitter on Feb. 18.
Davis, who originally went to Absegami, moved to Florida and attended Eau Gallie in his sophomore year. He returned to South Jersey and played at St. Augustine.
He had to sit out multiple games at the start of the season due to the transfer rules, but it all worked out in the end.
After an 1-3 start, Davis helped lead the Hermits to a 7-4 record and an appearance in the Non-Public Group 4 semifinals, where they fell to St. Peter’s Township, 35-28.
Davis caught his sixth touchdown pass of the season in the loss. He accumulated 384 receiving yards in seven games, averaging 20.2 yards per catch in seven games.
According to Davis’ Twitter page, he had more than 20 scholarship offers. His latest came from Liberty on Feb. 11, and he had others from Penn State, Oregon, Tennessee, Auburn, and Duke.
