N.C. State among those to offer for Calhoun DL | College recruiting | ajc.com

Calhoun’s Eric McDaniel recently landed scholarship offers from East Carolina, N.C. State, Louisville and UAB.

And Alabama, Auburn and Clemson continue to inquire about the 6-foot-2, 297-pound defensive lineman.

“Auburn is probably the one showing the most interest right now from those three schools,” Calhoun coach Hal Lamb said. “But he’s really fired up about N.C. State, East Carolina and Louisville.”

There would likely be more offers for McDaniel had he been able to play his more natural position last fall and participate in all of spring practice.

“He’s probably a sleeper just because we played him out of position last year [at defensive tackle],” Lamb said. “He’ll play at nose for us this year, and I think he’ll dominate at that position.

“We had a lot of coaches come by to see him at spring practice. The only problem was he qualified for the state track meet and he only got out there with us for a couple of days.”
