Catching Up on the Recruiting Trail

Over the course of the past week, several Oakland County football players have received plenty of interest from the Division 1 level. So here's a quick rundown of what has happened on the recruiting trail as of late.

Farmington safety Isaiah Gourdine joined Walled Lake Western defensive back Josh Jones on the list of area athletes that have received offers from the Iowa Hawkeyes football program over the past few years. If Iowa can land both of these standout secondary studs, the Hawkeyes will be landing two of the state’s best and most underrated players.

The Hawkeyes will learn if Jones will be joining their squad for the 2013 season as the junior will make his decision between Iowa and Illinois on Friday (June 8^th).
:12:05 UPDATE: From what I've been told, Jones is NOT expected to make his decision on Friday and will take more time to make his decision.

Also receiving an offer from the D-1 level recently was Auburn Hills Avondale’s Clark Clancy who was offered to play for Western Michigan, while South Lyon East quarterback Cam Thomas was offered by Grand Valley State.

Thomas has already received an offer from Bowling Green and will likely hear from several more Division 1 schools before his high school career is over.

Avondale track and field star Kyle Redwine is considering USC as well as a number of other PAC-10 and BIG 10 schools to run at next year. Redwine won the Division 2 state title in the 100 meter dash and is also regarded as one of the nation’s top 200 meter dash runners as well. Redwine’s teammate, Nate Chapman committed to run at Michigan earlier this spring.
