Wilson has long arms, great feet and will likely play offensive left tackle in college. Barton said that Wilson has a good motor and is a hard worker. Judging from the early offers Wilson has already received, I would have to say that Wilson and Alex Williams are the two best offensive linemen prospects in the state and in the South.

Plouhar and his family were hit hard by hurricane Katrina last Fall, forcing his family to relocate in Oregon. Kyle Plouhar arrived at his new school after school had started, but being the great athlete that he is, he did not have a problem fitting in and made the Tri Valley League team.

Edward Collins
OL, 6'5", 280, Northeast high school

Friday I conducted a very enjoyable and interesting interview with Northeast high school head football coach David Masterson and his Blue Chip offensive lineman Edward Collins (6'5", 288, and still growing). Collins is only 16 years old and will not be 17 until the 2006 regular football season is over. Collins has been a starter at weak side offensive tackle since his sophomore year at Northeast. Masterson told me that Collins was a true weak side offensive tackle and said that weak side offensive tackles and free safeties are the two hardest positions for college coaches to find. Masterson is a veteran coach who has coached at the college level and has been very successful at Northeast high school which plays in class 3-A. Northeast is located at Pride, Louisiana, about 30 miles North of Baton Rouge. I asked Coach Masterson what schools are recruiting his prize offensive tackle and he said you name the school and they are recruiting him. Masterson said just before I talked to him yesterday that he had just gotten off the phone with two major college coaches asking for highlight tapes. Masterson told me that Jimbo Fisher is recruiting Collins for LSU and is looking forward to having Collins down for Summer camp. Masterson said that Collins' grades would be very close, but that he believe he will have the grades to sign with a four-year school.

Collins told me that he attended Junior Day at LSU and attended the Spring game and picnic for all the recruits and had a great time. I asked Collins to name a few schools that are recruiting him the hardest and he named LSU, Auburn, Arkansas, and Alabama. I asked what schools he would like to take official visit to and he said LSU, Auburn and Texas and said that he is a strong lean to LSU. Collins said his plans are to attend Summer camp at LSU and the lineman camp at Nicholls State that is one of the best linemen camp in the nation. Former LSU defensive line coach Pete Jenkins is one of the instructors at the Nicholls camp each year.


Kellen Theriot
QB, 6'1", 224, 4.5, Houston

While at the LSU Spring game I ran into a young man named Dean Theriot who play baseball in the Lafayette Little League years ago with my son, Scott. Dean now lives in Houston and attended the Spring game with his Dad and his son Kellen. Kellen is a 6'1-1/2", 224, QB who runs a 4.5 forty. Kellen was the starting QB at Acadiana High School in Lafayette at the start of the 2006 season before he tore his ACL in the jamboree and missed his entire junior season. He has moved to Houston to live with his Dad because he will be able to repeat his junior year next season in Texas, therefore allowing him to have two more years to play instead of having to graduate next year if he remained at Acadiana High School. Kellen is now attending Episcopal High School in Houston. Kellen attended Summer camp at LSU before his injury and was timed in the 40 at 4.5, vertical jumped 34 1/2 inches, bench pressed 325 pounds and power cleaned 290 before his injury. Kellen is about 95 percent in most aspects of his recovery at this time. His top five schools as of now are: LSU, Miami, Texas, Notre Dame, and either Michigan or Florida. He has attended camp at LSU and this year plans to attend camps at LSU, Miami, and Texas or Notre Dame. I know that the Acadiana coaching staff was very excited about Kellen before his injury because of his size, speed and arm strength. Kellen Theriot is a name to remember for the 2008 signing class.

Josh Dworaczyk

DE, 6'6", 265, 4.9 Catholic of New Iberia

I spoke to Josh Dworaczyk (DE, 6'6", 265, 4.9) from Catholic high school of New Iberia. Dworaczyk told me that he has a 3.54 GPA and recentley received word that he made a 25 on the ACT he took for the first time about six weeks ago. Dworaczyk is receiving mail from LSU, Ole Miss, Clemson, Arkansas, Tennessee, GA Tech, Kansas State, Alabama and all state schools. He told me that he will be attending the Nike Camp at LSU at the end of this month as well as Summer camps at LSU and Notre Dame. Dworaczyk ! attended Junior at LSU on March 04 with his teammate Mitch Joseph, and spent a lot of time with LSU recruiting coordinator Josh Henson and defensive backfield coach Doug Mallory. According to Dworaczyk, both coaches emphasized that they really wanted him to attend one of LSU's Summer camps.

Dworaczyk told me that he made between 75-80 tackles as a junior with seven sacks behind the line of scrimmage, four knockdowns, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Dworaczyk went through elementary school with LSU signee Jared Mitchell. I did not know about Josh Dworaczyk until I called his high schoo! l coach David Comeaux to ask about Mitch Joseph. I have JD No. 68 on my top 100 list, but I know that there are not 67 better players in the state. I will be moving JD up several spots before the end of this school year.
