I am on vacation in Destin until next Friday and was not able to reach Sturdivant today after his commitment (I should be able go get in touch with him by Monday), but Tulane got another recruit from Hoover High near Birmingham, Ala., joining DB P.J. Hall, who will be a freshman this fall.
Unlike Hall, a heralded 3-star recruit, Sturdivant is under the radar and did not have any other significant offers yet although Southern Miss was looking at him. He is 5-10, 189-pound north and south runner who gained 695 yards (5.1 average) with nine touchdowns last year according to Al.com. He is not fast (4.6 40), but clearly Willie Fritz and his staff feel like he will be a good fit for Tulane.
Hoover went 10-3 last year, losing to crosstown Spain Park twice, including 7-6 in the semifinals of the Class 7A state playoffs as Hoover failed to defend its championship from 2014. Hoover also had won state titles in 2012 and 13.
Tulane now has four commitments, all from different states with Texas, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana represented. Of the four, John Ehret CB Darius Campbell has two stars and the others are unrated by Rivals. We'll see if that changes in the next few months and some of these guys get upgrades.
