SC State Signs 21 Football Prospects
Coach Pough

Orangeburg, SC -- South Carolina State, Wednesday, announced the signing of 21 football prospects to national letters. The 2009 Bulldog class includes 15 players from the Palmetto State, five from Georgia and one from Virginia.

Twelve members of the class either played in the North-South All-Star Classic, Shrine Bowl or some other postseason contest.

SC State head coach Buddy Pough said he was excited about the 2008 Bulldog class, which he said addressed the team’s needs and included some top notch players.

“I’m excited (about this year’s class),” Pough said. “I think our coaching staff did a fantastic job in identifying high level prospects and getting them to sign with SC State.

“We were really looking to bring in a solid crop of linemen,” he continued, “and I think we addressed our needs here, both on the defensive and offensive line. This group also includes some outstanding skill players, among them (DB) Pat Burris of Rock Hill, (RB) Rockarius King of Timberland and (WR) LaQuan Gilliard of Summerville.”

Pough also acknowledged the fact that the 2008 Class was made up mostly of instate players.

“As always, we try to get the best available players,” he said, “but this year, as in past years since I have been here, the class is heavy on instate players.”

The Bulldogs finished the 2008 campaign at 10-3 overall, captured the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title with an unblemished 8-0 record and earned a spot in the prestigious Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) for the first time in 26 years.

Winston-Salem State Football Signs 20 To National Letters Of Intent
Recruiting class highlighted by local talent from high school football hotbeds


Feb. 4, 2009



WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Winston-Salem State University head football coach Kermit Blount may not admit it, but he and his coaching staff have capped a rigorous off-season by signing what very well may be the best recruiting class in the history of Rams’ football. With 20 talented student-athletes inked to NCAA National Letters of Intent, the Rams have bolstered an already formidable lineup with young talent that will look to make an immediate impact on the field in the fall of 2009.



The Rams widened their recruiting base as they signed student-athletes as far north as Connecticut and as far south as Gainesville, Georgia, but the Rams also did not stray far from home as they picked up five local talents from WSSU’s own backyard as they won the I-40 recruiting battle and competed with regional North Carolina football powers Appalachian State, East Carolina, North Carolina State and Western Carolina.




One of the Rams’ prized recruits is John Harris a 5-10, 190-pound running back from Patrick County high school in Stuart, Va. A talented speedster who runs the 40 in 4.42 seconds, he rushed for 6,585 yards in his high school career with Patrick County HS, finishing ninth best in Virginia High School Athletic Association History. A Rivals.com two-star recruit with a rating of 5.3, Harris turned down offers from VMI and Liberty and had extensive contact with Georgia Tech, Delaware and Middle Tennessee State University during the recruiting process. He finished his senior campaign with 2,627 yards rushing and 32 touchdowns. He was a 4-year starter who averaged 12.1 yards per carry and totaled at least 1,200 yards rushing in each of his four seasons with the Cougars.

Deylan Buntyn a 6-4, 290-pound offensive lineman from Havelock high school in Havelock, N.C. Turned down offers from TN-Chattanooga, N.C. State and N.C. Central before committing with the Rams. Deylan’s final college selection came down to a decision between signing with the Wolfpack or Winston-Salem State. His senior season he totaled 78 tackles, 11 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, 12 forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries and a blocked punt. A Rivals.com two star recruit with a 5.4 rating

Jordan Carter, a 6-2, 200-pound running back from Eastern Alamance high school in Burlington, N.C. An athletic marvel that can play at several positions including wide receiver and defensive back Jordan drew recruiting interest from North Carolina, and N.C. State and he turned down offers from ECU and James Madison to sign with the Rams.

Jonathan Crawley a 6-7, 320-pound offensive lineman from Hugenot high school in Richmond, Va. He received attention from over a dozen schools and went on recruiting visits to Delaware, Penn State and West Virginia and turned down a scholarship offer to Liberty before signing with the Rams. Also a starter on Hugenot high school’s basketball team, Crawley is an athletic marvel with very quick feet who ran the 40 in 4.9 seconds.

Xavier Earvin a 6-1, 190-pound defensive back from Gainesville high school in Gainesville, Ga. An All-Conference selection and an Honorable Mention All-Region selection for the Red Elephants his senior season in high school.

A two-sport star who also plays basketball for High Point Andrews, Goodwin will make a bid to compete for playing time in the fall of 2009. An All-Conference selection, Goodwin was a highly sought-after recruit in the state of North Carolina who spurned offers from James Madison, Western Carolina, North Carolina A&T and drew recruiting interest from three-time National Champion Appalachian State. The Rams also signed Goodwin’s high school teammate and starting quarterback Jordan Reid.

Ron Hall a 6-5, 260-pound offensive lineman from Alpharetta high school in Alpharetta, Ga.
A very athletic offensive lineman who was an All-Conference selection his senior season, Hall will be expected to make an immediate contribution for the Rams as a true freshman.

Austin Higgins a 6-3, 260-pound tight end from Atkins high school in Winston-Salem, N.C. A two-sport star for the Camels, he is also a member of the Atkins HS basketball team. A big, strong, fast athlete, Higgins will provide the Rams with a talent at the tight end position who can not only use his size to block but can provide the Rams with a pass-catching threat in a dynamic offensive system.

A two-sport star who also plays basketball at Harding HS, he was an All-Conference selection in both his junior and senior seasons.

Jerod Brisbom
Pos: LB, Ht: 6-1, Wt: 215, Hometown: / Previous School: Tampa, Fla. / Hillsborough HS xthumbsupx xthumbsupx
This Hillsborough HS product was their top LB for 3 consecutive seasons… Recorded over 100 tackles for three straight seasons… career stats 316 tackles, 13 sacks, 7 FF…Recruited by Iowa State, Bethune Cookman University, FIU.

Should be a productive player for the Rattlers. He was headed to Iowa State before the coaching change.

Should be a productive player for the Rattlers. He was headed to Iowa State before the coaching change.

I see Joe Taylor was able to pull a couple of recruits that were headed to FBS programs. Hopefully this will be the best Rattler team since those teams of the 90's.
