Auburn offers four-star wide receiver from Florida

Florida wide receiver picks up an offer from Auburn and coach Roc Bellantoni.

Newly promoted Roc Bellantoni wasting no time on getting to work on the recruiting trails. On Tuesday the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator extended an offer to four-star wide receiver William Fowles.

He ranks as a top 40 player in the state according to Rivals. His 6-foot-3-inch frame will allow him to go over the top of defenders with his reach. Fowles is also used at Dade Christian as a deep threat for the offense. He gets behind the defense with ease due to his long stride, almost effortless in his routes.

With Fowles it isn’t just the deep ball, he took short and intermediate passes down the field. He has good hands and catch radius. When running from tacklers, he has good contact balance.

2023 four-star WR DeAndre Moore Jr. decommits from Oklahoma Sooners

Despite a successful Jr. Day Oklahoma’s 2023 recruiting efforts took a hit with the decommitment of 2023 four-star WR DeAndre Moore.

In a surprise turn of events, 2023 four-star wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. has decommitted from the University of Oklahoma. Moore, who is the No. 48 player in the 2023 class according to 247Sports composite rankings will be reassessing his future as he heads into his senior season at Los Alamitos High School in California.

Moore made himself a fan favorite after reaffirming his commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners in the wake of Lincoln Riley’s departure. DeAndre Moore is teammates of former Oklahoma commits Malachi Nelson and Makai Lemon who flipped to USC.

Moore told Greg Biggins of 247Sports back in December:

I’ve been wanting to go to Oklahoma since the 7th grade. I don’t know how many people know that but it has always been my dream school and it was never about the coaching staff for me. I liked coach Riley, don’t get me wrong. I was looking forward to playing for him but that was more the cherry on top for me. I was going to Oklahoma because I love the school, and that’s still the case for me. – Moore via 247Sports

247Sports spoke with Moore about backing off of his commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners and the four-star wide receiver mentioned that he hadn’t spoken with Brent Venables or Jeff Lebby yet, even though he’s remained in constant contact with DeMarco Murray.

The Oklahoma Sooners have been making strong headway in their efforts to build up a 2023 recruiting class that saw several commitments disappear after Riley left for USC. Moore is the sixth player to decommit from the 2023 recruiting class in the last couple of months.

Oklahoma could certainly get back in the game on DeAndre Moore before national signing day a year from now, but the perceived slight by not meeting with Moore might be enough to keep him looking elsewhere for his college football future.

Alabama makes four-star WR Chris Marshall’s top three schools

Four-star WR Chris Marshall cuts his list down to three schools.

The state of Texas has been one of Nick Saban’s pipelines over the past few recruiting cycles. Three migrated across the Mississippi River in the 2020 class and another seven during the historic 2021 class. All but one was ranked inside the top 200 on the 247Sports composite too.

While none have joined the 2022 class quite yet, there are plenty of targets Alabama is pursuing. Five-stars Evan Stewart (WR) and Denver Harris (CB) are the main two. Not too far behind is four-star wide receiver, Chris Marshall.

He announced his top three schools on Wednesday, with the Crimson Tide making the cut. Home state Texas A&M and USC were also on what should be Marshall’s final trim down list.

Auburn, Arizona State, Jacksonville State, LSU, and Oregon were cut from a top-eight released in early April.

Marshall did not start playing football until the beginning of his junior season. He finished with 45 receptions for 1,009 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns.

The insane numbers have continued into this season.

According to Maxpreps, he has 13 receptions for 454 yards and 11 touchdowns. Marshall has yet to play in the second half either with Fort Bend Marshall sitting at an 8-0 record.

Basketball is still in the works to play in college as well. That’s where the now four-star receiver intended on focusing his high school career before picking up the pigskin. According to Rivals, Houston, Ole Miss, Texas Southern, and Western Kentucky have offered on the basketball front.

As for his rankings as a football player, Marshall is the No. 86 overall player and the No. 12 wide receiver in the country. Within the state of Texas, he ranks as the No. 16 prospect on the 247Sports composite.
