I seen where rising sophomore jariel Cobb got an offer from Louisville, off to a good start.
Reidsville rising sophomore
- Thread starter tarheel fan1
- Start date
I was impressed with him in our game. He has great get off and closing speed. Good looking athlete.
.
My cousin, who once coached at North Gaston and South Point, asked me about Cobb after the Reidsville/Shelby game and was amazed that he was a Freshman. The Cobb family has provided the Rams with great players over the years.
Kid is going to be a monster.
Him and Jonathan from cummings, going to turn into TWO huge recuits in the state
The first of many for this young man.
I think flippen is a huge recruit from reidsville also, he was close in the state in leading in receiving stats as a sophomore.
Jariel Cobb is also one of the top students in his class. Has a nearly perfect gpa and is enrolled in the IB Program.
Grades matter. A lot.

@tarheel fan1 Hope he doesn’t get the Jayden Borders treatment. Borders had a phenomenal sophomore year, too, and one of the greatest careers, statewide, as a receiver, period. But, the young man played at only about 150 pounds. You would never know it just looking at him, though. You’d seriously would have thought, 5’11 175, just looking at him, at least by his senior year. Anyway, he was drastically “underrecruitted”. The young man was a freak of an athlete. Power 5 schools shunned him, because of his size.
I was highly impressed with Flippen. I had looked at his Hudl mid season. He’s obviously a burner, and he has great hands as well. Despite being slightly built, he’d thump you, too, as a db. Like Borders, just looking at him, he looks bigger than what he’s listed as on the roster.
Sincerely hope the young man get his, though, recruiting and offers wise. Hope his size won’t be detrimental to him, because he has everything else.

He is getting tons of recruiting interest as well as QB Al Lee. Coaches are saying he can play anywhere he choses. I will get more info later.
Exactly, good news is Borders did get ecu. I think Flippen will at least get schools like ecu offer. I believe Breon pass helped open the door recruiting wise for Reidsville. Shelby does well getting kids big time offers.
I tell people all of the time that Reidsville is the breeding ground for talent in our area. Just over the line at GW Danville we’ve had many great athletes get little to no exposure. Your starting RB/LB left Danville with no offers. I truly believe had he and his brother played at Reidsville all 4 years, they would’ve both been at least FCS guys.
He does have some offers, he has averette, Ferrum and Lynchburg the hbcu (which is his best offer). I do think he should have more though. Cam peoples has a decent amount of offers. Now is a good time for reidsville lots of kids are getting looked at, imo. I miss gw vs reidsville games it needs to continue
Que shyne flippen got an offer from Marshall university. I think he will get a few more as well
Flippen, Cobb and other Rams were at the Alabama and North Carolina 7 on 7 competitions recently. Flippen turned some heads with his speed, 4.3 something in the forty. Some big time high school programs could not cover him at all.
I seen that. Cobb, flippen and Harrison with some impressive offers. Kendre is probably the biggest prospect of them all

Freshman Harrison is getting national recruiting attention from the big boys. He is 6'5".
Also, lots of recruiters think Cobb's best position is Running Back. Will be interesting to see if he can go both ways as young as he is.
I hear Cobb is the starter at running back. I like redd as well. He can do it rankin had to do it , we have some depth at those positions as well
I thought Harrison was listed as 6’7?
Harrison measured 6'5" at camps this summer. He was also consistently timed at 4.8 in forty. He will play Defensive End and Wide Receiver. I would hate to be one of those small defensive backs trying to cover him. Can't double him up because Flippen will have double coverage on opposite side.
according to reidsville football web site...the rams are playing northern guilford on aug. 10th at 10am at northern....not sure about the 12th......6pm is the time listed...but no teams....................
We played Wake Forest last season. Would love for them to come back, but doubt they are.
lol....yeah the WF/REIDSVILLE scrimmage lasted about a dozen plays before the storms hit....long drive from Raleigh area to here for that....................
I just saw that Reidsville lost a Father/faithful supporter to a vehicle crash today. So sorry to see this this.
Yes...Brian Wilson....father of Tanner Wilson (the starting QB for Reidsville's 2016 state championship team) was killed in a head on collision with another car...the driver of the other vehicle was also killed....Don't know any other details at this time.....so sad to hear for all involved.............
Praying for the Reidsville community and family
Tanner's grandfather, James Wilson, played football at Glen Alpine High school in the early 60's for Jug Wilson. When he was inducted into their Hall of Fame posthumously, I met Brian and Tanner. They come from a great family and it was heartbreaking to hear of Brian's tragic death.
As someone who is closely associated with GW and follows the GW Danville football program that is simply not true. Shawn watlington had at least 6 fcs/fbs offers when he finished at GW. UMASS, Howard, William & Mary to name a few. Do a little more research before you speak on the program. Coach Anderson and his staff do a great job of promoting their players and are taking visits to campuses and attending camps on a REGULAR basis. Not too mention a large portion of the staff are retired coaches from NC who had loads of success at their previous schools. GW has had numerous players go to college for football in the last 2 years. (Even more in 2016, 2018-2019
-Willie Edmunds (Youngstown state)
- Shakobe Hairston (Norfolk State)
- Jalen Strange (VSU)
- Jakobe Dixon (VUL)
- Don Howard (VSU)
-Ahmad Poole (VSU)
-Jalen Spratt (VSU)
Not too mention quite a few players who are/will be playing D-3.
Side note: it was a GW coach who helped Tyler Johnson from MV’ recruitment blow up.
side note : Hickory HS (NC) is looking for a week 3 game like yall are for next year maybe yall can get up with each other
I do my research well. GW athletes are just as good as the athletes at an Oscar Smith, Varina or Highland Springs. The days of Virginia Tech, UVA and other major programs lining up for GW athletes are practically non existent. Any kid can take a college visit and take pictures in an uniform. Had Donovan Howard, Worm Poole and Willie been at a Grimsley or Dudley, I see them going no lower than an App State or Marshall program. I’m hopeful Mori Dixon and the Mabin kid can get some offers soon. Those are big time kids in the GW program.
The reason Don Howard & the Worm didn't get D1 offers was not for lack of trying by staff. Don was a little under radar until last year but I know he was promoted to every school that came by. Great kid who if he stays healthy will have a fine career at VSU.
Same or more so for Poole. I am pretty sure VMI offered Worm and Elon was also in the mix. He was/is a baller and everyone knows it. Sometimes the "big boys" get too caught up in the measurables. Too short was the knock on him.
The grass always seems greener but believe me, it ain't.

BlueDevil1996, what is the date on that week 3 game for Hickory? Just not sure our calendar matches NC. Thanks
