FWIW, here's his freshman highlights and Glendale CC. Color me impressed:

247 has Tappan listed as a 4 star 89.

#1 ranked ILB on the 247 Composite too... Impressive.

In the interest of full disclosure, 247 is the only service that has him ranked. scout and ESPN have no ranking and he has no Rivals profile (yes I know 247 is the best scouting service if the four).

I'm pretty sure he didn't have a profile a couple days ago. So he was just ranked and given 4 stars? Don't see that very often for a prospect this late in the recruiting process.
