Sideline Report This Week in Prince George's High School Football - washingtonpost.com

Recruiters have taken notice. Maryland Coach Ralph Friedgen and seven assistants took in Friendly's 32-12 victory over Forestville last month specifically to recruit Patriots standout Lamaar Thomas. Instead, they left enamored of Edet.

North Carolina, North Carolina State and Illinois are also pursuing him.

Friedgen "came up to me after the game and said, 'Where did [Edet] come from?' " Thorpe said. "I told him, 'Coach, he came from out of the sky.' "

Well, not exactly. Edet was raised in Staten Island, N.Y., and transferred to Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy for his junior year of high school to receive better academic attention.

Earley said he left Fork Union after one year because of financial reasons. Edet then moved in with an aunt in Fort Washington this summer.
