North Gwinnett linemen Jawaun James (6-foot-6, 295 pounds) and Austin Shepherd (6-foot-5, 310) are two big young men who have garnered most of the recruiting attention for the Bulldogs’ Class of 2010.
James has at least 30 offers from schools in every BCS conference. Shepherd has an offer on the table from Alabama, among others. But the class of rising seniors at North Gwinnett is more than just the “Big Two,” according to head coach Bob Sphire.
He thinks linebacker/defensive back Trey Sims (6-foot-1, 190) and receiver Cordero Dixon (6-feet, 170), both of whom have been offered by UAB, ultimately will receive plenty of Division I-A offers. Linebackers David Park (6-feet, 195) and John Gibson Green (6-foot-3, 215) will be highly recruited players as well, according to Sphire.
“Sims is probably the fastest player on our team, especially in his change of direction speed. He’s just extremely explosive,” Sphire said. “Cordero is smooth. He just glides and he has great ball skills.
“David has worked really hard in the weight room, and it shows,” Sphire said. “He’s really put together physically now, to go with the [speed and agility] he always had. And John Gibson is an extremely powerful, explosive player.”
