By now,\u00a0 if you don’t know who Korey Foreman is then you aren’t much of a recruiting nut and aren’t a college football fanatic.\u00a0 Foreman is considered the top recruit in the country for the class of 2021 in some circles.\u00a0 If he’s not #1 then he’s most certainly #2 and rightfully so.\u00a0 I will tell you why in this top recruit breakdown.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been following recruiting at all over the last 1\/2 or full decade then you have noticed that there has been a heavy move towards the defensive line in overall rankings.\u00a0 In general,\u00a0 there has been a move towards the line of scrimmage as more defensive and offensive lineman have been pushed up in the rankings each year.\u00a0 This is not be accident.\u00a0 The move towards the line of scrimmage has coincided with the way the game of football has progressed.\u00a0 Football has become more a passing endeavor with multiple receivers on the field and running backs being asked to do more than just take handoffs.\u00a0 As such,\u00a0 wide receivers and running backs have become more plentiful and less valuable.\u00a0 Add to this the fact that rule changes have made it harder to play pass defense in the secondary and we have a situation where rushing the passer becomes the best way to stop the epidemic of high powered pass offenses.<\/p>\n

With all of that said,\u00a0 enter Corona Centennial HS senior defensive end Korey Foreman.\u00a0 Foreman is exactly what the doctor ordered when it comes to rushing the passer,\u00a0 controlling the line of scrimmage and disrupting an offense.\u00a0 At the high school level he demands a double team.\u00a0 It is almost comical to watch teams attempt to take an offensive snap without having two people block him.\u00a0 Foreman’s well developed lower half is packed with power.\u00a0 He has two ways of beating you and that’s through you with a massive strength infused bull rush or around you with overwhelming power and quickness.\u00a0 His agility is surprising for someone with his build and size.\u00a0 This is why he projects so well at the next level and is a 5 star recruit.<\/p>\n

Before any of you attempt to say something like he’s a 5-star recruit because of his size,\u00a0 I would urge you to watch film and issue a retraction.\u00a0 Foreman does not just rely on God’s gifts.\u00a0 First of all,\u00a0 while he is physically gifted,\u00a0 it is apparent that he developed those gifts intensively by spending time in the weight room and on the field.\u00a0 He is technically sound and explosive.\u00a0 Furthermore,\u00a0 what you see on film is a guy who will hustle to the football and takes delight in running down the field to catch guys that think they are going to the house.<\/p>\n

Ultimately,\u00a0 what the school the winds up landing Foreman is getting is a guy that appears to have work ethic to go along with the ultimate build for a strong side defensive end.\u00a0 His explosiveness and technique makes his a threat to the quarterback on every pass play.\u00a0 His well developed lower half combined with his strength doesn’t make him a liability against the run.\u00a0 Basically you are screwed either way on offense against him because he can either beat blocks on runs at him or run down plays away from him.\u00a0 Foreman looks to be the mold for what future strong side defensive ends are going to look like in recruiting.\u00a0 USC, Clemson and LSU are the primary teams in the hunt for the top rated prospect with USC rumored to be the lead.\u00a0 Him staying in Los Angeles to become a man of Troy would be an extraordinary get for USC and spark a return to the top for the Trojans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
