Tulane has six players in town that I have confirmed, including Colby Orgeron, the John Curtis lineman who signed in December.
The other five:
1) Jack Mashburn, an unrated 6-3, 208-pound QB from St Paul's Catholic in Covington.
Comment: He is a dual-threat QB who may be looked at as a preferred walk-on rather than a scholarship candidate. Will Hall and Willie Fritz made a home visit last Friday. Mashburn became the starting quarterback near the end of his junior year and guided St. Paul's to a 5-6 record this season, with the season ending in a first-round playoff loss to Jesuit. He threw for 269 yards in a win against Holy Cross and was the Metro Player of the Week after throwing for 192 yards and rushing for 129 yards against Northshore.

2) Dal'mont Gourdine, a 3-star. 6-4, 240-pound defensive end from Garrett Academy of Technology in Charleston, S.C. He is rated the No. 22 overall prospect from South Carolina.
Comment: He visited North Carolina and Georgia Tech in the summer, Coastal Carolina right before the December signing day and UConn last week. Rivals lists him with offers from Nebraska and UCF but I doubt those are still standing. He attended Clemson's camp last summer but never received an offer there.
3) Jacquez Norman, a 2-star, 6-0, 190-pound RB from Cane Ridge High in Milan, Tenn.
Comment: Southern Miss is his only other FBS offer according to Rivals. He rushed for 1,129 yards with 13 TDs on 90 carries (12.5 average) for a team that won its first 11 games before losing in the second round of the Class 6A state playoffs.
4) Ethan Hudak, a 6-0, 230-pound long snapper from Mountain Ridge High in Glendale, Ariz.
Comment: That's the same hometown for former Tulane long snapper Michael Lizanich, who did not pan out, but not the same high school. He attended Rubio Long snapping camp and is rated the No. 9 prospect in the 2019 class and a Division I caliber player by that website. Only one of the guys rated ahead of him has not picked a school yet.

5) Ryan Alexander, a 6-foot-3, 300-pound grad transfer from South Alabama
Comment: This sounds familiar. A year after landing Noah Fisher from South Alabama, Tulane is bringing in another OL prospect from the school. He started the last two years at right tackle and the final four games of his redshirt freshman season in 2016 at left tackle. He was named honorable mention All Sun Belt this year, meaning he did not make the first, second or third teams.
