Louisville linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary was quite surprised when he learned that Deondre Francois had yet to receive his first college football scholarship offer.

That's no longer the case. Jean-Mary, in the Orlando area recruiting for the Cardinals hustled out to Orlando Olympia to check on Francois, and he offered the 6-foot, 190 pound rising junior.

"I'm happy about it and it gives me even more motivation to do better and makes me even more hungry," said Francois, who was the co-Sophomore MVP at the NUC 5-Star Challenge in Kissimmee, Fla., in March.

"They said they were surprised. They thought I had like 30 offers and so they said don't forget we're the first ones to offer you."

Francois, who is considered to be one of the best quarterbacks in the state for the Class of 2015 - along with Florida State commit DeAndre Johnson of Jacksonville First Coast and Orlando Lake Nona's Tucker Israel.

Despite missing three games last season, Francois still threw for 1,789 yards in his first season as the Olympia starter. He had 15 touchdowns on 151-of-261 passing (58 percent).

Francois said Jean-Mary rattled off a whole menu of things the Cardinals' coaching staff likes about the smooth, big-armed QB.

"They said they like my quick release, strong arm, my footwork and how the ball spins off my finger-tips," Francois relayed. "They also said they like my leadership at practice and how I'm always getting with the O-line. They like my 7n7 skills, my speed when running the ball, and he said my form and mechanics were similar to if not better than Teddy Bridgewater at this age."

Ahh yes, music to the ears of any young quarterback, for a Louisville coach to make a comparison to Bridgewater, a player who some have already touted as a contender in this year's Heisman Trophy chase.

"I love the way Teddy Bridgewater plays and the way he throws the ball ... I'm excited about that," Francois said of the comparison. "Coach [Jena-Mary] told me on the phone that they look forward to working with me and if I go there that they have great things planned and that they see signs of greatness in me and said I can lead them to championships and bowl games and stuff like that."

It was certainly baffling as to why Francois still had no offers, yet sometimes it takes colleges a while to pull the trigger on quarterbacks.

"I was waiting for it but at the same time I wasn't worried about it because I knew good things would come with me being patient," Francois said. "Now that I have that first offer, it takes the weight off my shoulders, but I want more.

"I'm not all worried about it, but I'm still hungry. Now that I do have that first one though, it will let me focus on other things like school and family and getting better."

And he said it will certainly hold great meaning to him that Louisville was the first one.

"It's going to mean a lot because they were the first one," Francois said. "A lot of people tell me I'm good and all that and it was kind of weird that I would see other sophomores be offered and I'm like I not sure what's going on, but I just stayed humble and not worried about it.

"But it does really mean a lot that my first offer came from Louisville."

When looking at statistics from Trae Hart's junior campaign, people often have to do a double take. And it's hard to blame them.

After all, the Dallas First Baptist wide receiver put up video game-like numbers and was one of the top receivers in the nation with 108 receptions for 2,044 yards and 29 touchdowns.

But not even those gaudy stats were enough to garner major FBS offers. Smaller schools like SMU and Rice extended junior day invites and showed moderate interest. But Hart knew he deserved more than just a few letters.

So just as he did as a sophomore, Hart spent the last few months going to as many camps as possible in order to gain more exposure in pursuit of his first offer.

"Going to camps like the NUC helped me go against the best out there," he said. "It was fun, and it helped me to see all the great competition there is out there and get better."

Now, Hart is a proud Purdue commit. Just a few weeks ago, the Big 10 program watched him at practice and extended a scholarship soon after. Hart accepted on the spot.

"I talked to Coach (John) Shoop, and he just seemed like a great guy. He's coached a bunch of great receivers like Randy Moss," Hart said. "I talked it over with my mom and dad, and I told them I needed to do this. It's in the Big 10 and a great opportunity for me so I decided to verbally commit."

Hart says his commitment is solid but would be open if others schools get in the mix. And with his skillset, there is no doubt he'll pick up a few more offers before it's all said and done.

He proved this on Monday afternoon when Dallas First Baptist held a joint practice with Bishop Dunne. For most of the afternoon, Nick Watkins, who is considered one of the top cornerbacks in the nation, covered Hart.

But he more than held his own and even scored on Watkins a few times. Throughout the day, the 5-foot-11, 160-pounder showed off his great hands, tremendous speed and an ability to find soft spots in the defense.

"It was great to be out here competing with him. I felt like I did well and ran good routes and everything," he said. "I'm just working on getting better and doing everything I can to do it."

With spring ball in full swing and a decision out of the way, Hart is now focused on helping his team win a state title after falling just short a season ago.

"I want to have a better year than my junior year," he said. "And bring home a championship."

2013 NUC Five-Star Showcase
Underclassmen Top 30
The 2013 NUC Five-Star Showcase Series has come to an end. Over 1,400 prospects from around the country have participated in a Five-Star Showcase. This past year events were held in Orlando, Myrtle Beach, Los Angeles, Baton Rouge, New Jersey, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Dallas and Springfield, Illinois.

It is now time to announce the Top 30 underclassmen based on performance and potential. NUC President/CEO Dave Schuman and NUC VP/National Analyst Barry Every have both compiled their own Top 30.

2014 Texas State Rankings

Texas is the premier state when it comes to producing DI talent. From 2008 to 2012 the Lone Star State has produced on average 361 DI players per year. That is 40 more than the next closest state Florida. And this year the trend looks to continue.

What really stands out about the 2014 Class are the number of quality defensive backs and linebackers. The initial NUC Texas Top 90 has 11 DB's/LB's in the Top20. Starting the year off number one is Tony Brown of Beaumont Ozen High School. Brown possesses the coveted size and speed that college coaches desire in a tall cover corner. Coming in the #2 spot is athletic linebacker Hoza Scott of La Porte High school. He has all the tools to become a difference maker on the gridiron.

KD Cannon of Mount Pleasant High school is one of the most productive receivers in Texas football history. He comes in at number three after catching 26 touchdowns passes last year. He is followed by pass rushing specialist Derick Roberson of Brennan High School. This gridiron warrior spends more time in the backfield then running backs. Rounding out the top five is the ball hawking safety Edward Paris, Jr. of Mansfield Timberview.

The Lone Star State rankings will be updated two more times prior to signing day. This list will also expand to reflect the number of talented players that this state produces. We wish every prospect a successful senior season and good luck on the recruiting trail!

2014 Georgia State Rankings

The Peach State rankings are finally here! The state of Georgia produces the fourth most DI players in the country. Starting the year out on top is long, lean and athletic defensive end Lorenzo Carter of defending AAAAAA State Champs Norcross. Carter was in on 45 TFL's and 18 sacks in 2012.

He is followed by athletic signal caller Deshaun Watson who led his team to the AAAAA State Championship in 2012. Coming in third is NUC alum and brutal gridiron warrior Raekwon McMillian of Liberty County. In the four spot is versatile defensive end Andrew Williams who helped lead Eagles Landing Christian to the A-Private School State Championship. Rounding out the top five is NUC South Five-Star Overall MVP Tyler Jones of Stephenson High School.

The Georgia State rankings will be updated and expanded two more times prior to signing day. That leaves plenty of room for movement as the state rankings will eventually expand to a Top 75. I look forward to personally attending several games this fall in Georgia.

In 2009, Alex Okafor was a 6'4 229 pound senior defensive end at for Pflugerville High School in Pflugerville, TX. He was certainly a talented player, gaining much notoriety. Okafor was a second-team All-USA selection by USA Today and a second team EA Sports All-American. He started in the 2009 U.S. Army All-American Bowl and participated in the inaugural Hawaii Prep Football Classic.

As a three year starter and letterman at defensive end, Okafor was rated as the nation's top strongside DE and the 14^th best prospect on Rivals' top 100 national list. He also participated in the NUC combine and showcased his potential as a great run stopper and pass rusher. Alex showed plenty of athleticism and open some eyes that day.

"He has amazing power and size, has the ability to destroy the run and when he gets to the QB it is lights out", said David Schuman, owner of NUC.

During his season senior season, Okafor recorded 59 tackles, 12 sacks, 17 TFL, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, and a blocked punt. Born a Texas native, Alex Okafor committed to play for the University of Texas.

As a freshman at Texas, Okarfor appeared in 14 games, posted 22 tackles, two TFL, and a forced fumble. His stats would continue to improve each year, with his senior season being his best. As a senior Longhorn, Okafor led the team in sacks (12.5), QB pressures (20), forced fumbles (4), tackles for loss (18), and he also ranked fourth on the team in tackles (68).

Now a 6'5 264 pound beast, Okafor is entering the 2013 NFL draft as one of the top defensive end prospects. He already possesses NFL size and strength, but he has room to grow. Okafor has a very powerful punch and he's able to get off the ball fast. His wingspan is another great attribute that allows him to create separation off the edge. Okafor has worked his way to the top, so expect him to be drafted considerably high and wreak havoc in the backfield at the next level.
