RE: 2021 Football Recruiting Thread
Thanks for sharing Northcoast! Yes- very interesting. That fact alone put UT directly in competition with more of the other schools also recruiting Adkins. He still picked UT.
Go Rockets!

Adkins is the 4th highest ranked recruit in Toledo Football history. His high school team is scheduled to play in the spring, so hopefully he just decides to early enroll at UT with a chance to compete for PT right away.

I was hoping the same thing. It seems to me that playing spring football and then hitting the gridiron again for summer training may put a lot of stress on someone both mentally and physically.

Thanks Northcoast
Very interesting recruit. The evaluation was intriguing. ASU was onlyP5 offer. UT will gladly take the young man.
More talent coming to UT
Go Rockets!

UT MUST give him a look at rb. He broke records at rb. He’ll be given a look at multiple positions.
Go Rockets!

Put him on the field. He is a great an athlete. We surely could use him at any position. Charles Woodson was an All State Running Back at Fremont Ross and all he did was win a National Championship, was 1st Team All American, Heisman Trophy winner, 1st round draft pick, All Pro, Super Bowl Champ and Hall of Famer.
GO ROCKETS!! Can't wait for Wednesday....

Hopefully he is as good or better than Paige. And smarter. Paige was ill advised to leave early for the nfl. Hope I spelled his name right

Thank you. Spelling is not my best subject. Wish we could be in the Glassbowl

RE: 2021 Football Recruiting Thread
page had an unfortunately timed injury that derailed his pro career, even though he still made it to the league. he could have had a long career as a slot receiver and punt returner if he came into the nfl healthy. he was a spectacular college player. a top 5 all time rocket offensive player, perhaps. so, if this kid from deep in the stix can be as good as page (sorry, every time i visualize adkins i also see the trail of marginally athletic 162 pound kids whiffing on tackles and laugh). so, if he ends up as good or better than page, hallelujah! he's talented, but i think we should be patient as he adjusts to the level of competition. page came in making plays. he was also a very intelligent player who'd played qb and knew multiple positions. as a receiver he knew how qbs see routes and was very clever getting open. current rocket jalynn williams was a highly recruited florida prospect with a high ranking and spectacular return and receiving highlights that is playing db at ut. he's looked ok as a young backup but has yet to make an impact and isn't returning kicks.

RE: 2021 Football Recruiting Thread
MSU had a 3* safety (Jah Von Grigsby ) decommit today. I hope it does not come around and smack us. Those bigger schools in our recruiting area have a habit poaching our higher recruits when this happens. Of course he could be interested in Toledo. But he did not indicate what his plans are. Except that he was open to all schools.

RE: 2021 Football Recruiting Thread
I see 24/7 has moved the Rockets 2021 recruiting class up one spot to 65 overall and still in first place in the MAC. They must have re-evaluated our class because we still have the same amount of recruits at 20
