I really want to go to an SEC school. Tennessee is one of my favorite schools. I am going to camp at LSU and Alabama.

Tyrann Mathieu from New Orleans (La.) St. Augustine doesn't have any offers and there wasn't much known about him before today but don't be surprised if one is on the way from Tennessee. He was unbelievable in pass coverage. As a pure cover guy, I just can't imagine how a kid could have had a better performance than he had today. Doesn't have ideal height but he has awesome hips and ridiculous makeup speed.

Only concern would be height since he's only 5'9, but that isn't too major of an issue. A bunch of guys excel at that height. We'd just have to make sure he doesn't get matched up on any 6'3+ WRs

Coach O and Frank Wilson leaving no stone unturned in finding talent in LA... their connections are turning up BIG right now with recommendations of kids from coaches and friends.

Probably the best overall player at camp yesterday. He needs an offer right now. Top flight Elite-Cornerback prospect.

By the afternoon session, Mathieu was being called out by every coach or wide receiver that wanted a challenge. Even while taking the best shot from the best receivers in attendance, Mathieu won almost every rep. In a drill in which the defense is at a major disadvantage, breakups and pure stops are hard to come by but those plays became routine for Mathieu.

St. Aug is a powerhouse program in the New Orleans area that has been down somewhat recently. Its the same school that Raynoch Thompson came from. I think one or a couple of Frank's asst from his OP Walker days may be or have coached there if I recall......it is an all boys school where many of new orleans elite send their kids...

With this staff, South Florida and all of Louisiana will be hot beds for UT recruiting.

Oh, I would have offered this kid a scholarship after the morning session and then would have made him commit before he left. Dang!

I bet he'll get an offer very soon. He was simply the best overall player among the skill guys out there in my opinion.

After seeing some of the videos, and based on what I heard, how did he not leave with an offer? He shut down all of the top WRs and only lost a couple of 1 on 1s.

My guess would be they probably dont have any actual in-game film of him and want to get ahold of some first.

Did we have any top flight receivers (i.e. Ambles) that he went up against?

In the videos on the Camp Update thread, he goes against some of the best at the camp, including the Landry kid, Brantley, and others and he pretty much shut down everyone...

Mathieu was arguably the story of the event as he came out of nowhere to dominate the one-on-ones. He has such a smooth backpedal, great hips and surprising burst, but it's his closing speed and ability to get his head around and make plays on the ball that separates him from the best. Small wide receivers couldn't run past him and he handled bigger guys with his athleticism, hops and instincts. He isn't the biggest kid, but as a cover corner he had an amazing day.
