ESPN - 2009 a down year for Ohio offensive skill prospects - Football Recruiting
Quote:
Recruit under the radar
Brian Underwood, wide receiver
Cleveland Heights HS
Verbal commitment: NC State
This guy could be a real steal for the Wolfpack and a nice snag away from the Big Ten and Big East conferences. Underwood is explosive and shows cat-like quickness, but he is undersized. He is the type of player you want to get in space, involve him in the screen and reverse elements of the offense and utilize his speed and quickness as a punt and kick return man.
As much as we have seen an upswing in the big wide receivers dominating the college landscape, guys like Underwood do seem to be sneaking up and making a splash because of the spread offense. Smaller players are more capable of making people miss and creating mismatches in space, so we would expect guys under 6-0 to continue to have a role, if not an increased one.
Underwood is also a good route runner and if utilized creatively would be a nice addition to any offensive scheme.
