Tulane has two players on official visits this weekend.
One of them is Jalen McCleskey (5-10, 170), DB coach J.J. McCleskey's son, who left Oklahoma State after four games this year with 167 career catches for 1,865 yards and 17 TDs. He will be a graduate transfer, and you have to like the odds of Tulane getting him with his dad on the staff.
The other is J'Coryan Anderson, a 6-3. 202-pound 2-star ILB from Fulton High in Knoxville, Tennessee with offers from at least nine G5 schools. He has good size that bodes well for his development.
Tulane commitments Colby Orgeron (no relation to Ed, but a relation to my mom's former physical therapist who kept giving her the scoop on his recruitment), Tyjae Spears, Kiland Harrison and Connor Richardson will on hand.
Somehow Harrison slipped past my attention when he committed in October. He is a 5-11, 165-pound WR from St. Joseph High in Madison, Miss. The story I just pulled up on him erroneously said he was from Kansas, which is strange. The same story had him running a 4.25 40 at Tulane's camp, which is hard to believe, but he definitely is very fast. He is in the Rivals database with zero stars. After whiffing on him, I will get more info on him in the coming week.
Here are the other players taking unofficial visits:
1) Jha'Quan Jackson, a 3-star, 5-10, 173-pound WR from Hahnville High who committed to SMU in June.
Comment: He also had an offer from West Virginia and Memphis.
2) Tyrone Lewis, a 3-star, 5-10, 168-pound CB from Hammond who is rated the No. 34 overall prospect in Louisiana.
Comment: He has had offers from numerous P5 schools, including about half the SEC.
3) Swayze Bozeman, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound safety from Copiah-Lincoln CC in Mississippi. He is the database but has no stars. According to the school's website, he leads the team with 91 tackles.
Comment: Tulane is recruiting him as an LB. Copiah-Lincoln is 6-4 this year. He has offers from USM and Rice among others.
4) Martin Butcher, a 6-1, 190-pound QB from Newman in New Orleans. He is in the database but has no stars.
Comment: UAB is the other school that has offered him according to Rivals. He was named Metro Prep Player of the Week at the end of October after going 17 of 30 for 288 yards with five TDS against Assumption. Newman is 9-1 (the lone loss was to Country Day 35-31) and has scored at least 28 points in every game entering the state playoffs, where it is the No. 5 seed in Division III.
5) Desmyn Baker, a 6-2, 220-pound TE from Clinton, Miss.
Comment: He is not in the Rivals database but 247Sports has him. No offers yet from FBS schools.
6) Markel Cotton, a 6-2, 190-pound ATH from Pine High in Franklinton.
Comment: He is committed to McNeese State but is not in the Rivals or 247Sports database.
