Today I begin my spring tour at duPont Manual.
The Crimsons possess one of the more talented rosters in the state, even though they lose Mike Nero, Ty'Ron Horton and Jordon Gonzalez.
The top talent on this team for 2015 is just a sophomore, and it is Jairus Brents. Brents holds offers from Kentucky and Louisville. The cornerback is a superior athlete and this year will be looking to hone in on his position and assignments pertaining to his position.
Truth be told, Brents wasn't able to help his team much as a freshman because he couldn't quite grasp coverage concepts. However, this year he is said to be ready and will likely be an every-down starter.
It's somewhat uncommon for an underclassman to be considered the most talented player on a roster, in general. It might sound a little more farfetched knowing Manual has a Division-I commit.
That Division-I commit is defensive end Derek Dorsey.
Dorsey committed to Louisville not long after a scholarship was tendered. He's a pretty balanced defensive lineman in regards to pass rush vs. stopping the run. And he may have had a few more offers coming his way, and still might depending on what his camp schedule will entail.
He's a very polished prospect with room to grow. He seems like an all-state lock in the preseason.
One to watch is sophomore defensive lineman Tajh Rice. His fame bears a striking similarity to former Louisville defensive tackle Brandon Dunn.
Rice is a strong yet mobile raw prospect. His ceiling is incredibly high as is his motor. Seeing him workout a few times as well as practice I'd say he also has a desire to learn and get better every day.
