"Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, LSU. ...," the coach began.

Nebraska, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Notre Dame are also among those chasing the chiseled 6-foot-3, 229-pound rising senior who heads the list of players in The Huntsville Times' coverage area for the Class of 2009.

Chattanooga Times Free Press | Chattanooga: Area is rich in football prospects

The area’s top-rated recruit is North Jackson linebacker Tana Patrick (6-3, 229), who is ranked the nation’s fifth best linebacker by Rvals and is among the top 65 overall players nationally.

“I’ve put about 2,500 miles on my car the last few weeks just getting him to camps,” said North Jackson coach Shawn Peek. “He’s already got that D-I body and could step into the huddle with any team in America right now.”

Patrick, who has been invited to play in the U.S. Army and Under Armour All America games, visited Alabama and Auburn already and will go to Florida State in mid-July, followed by Tennessee. Besides receiving offers from more than half the schools in the SEC, he was visited by coaches from Southern California, Michigan, Texas A&M, Clemson, Florida State and Notre Dame.

He could very well get a look at tight end before his college career is over. The highly-coveted Alabama native can chase sideline-to-sideline and shows good strength at the point of attack, which should only improve with his great frame for future physical development.

Although Patrick was born and raised in Alabama, he denies ever really following either of the in-state schools. "I just loved college football," Patrick said. I was never for Alabama or Auburn. I never really got caught up in that whole thing..."

"I know time is running out," Tana Patrick said. "I've really got to start thinking about this recruiting stuff fast. I'm hoping to take some visits in December and I've gotta figure out where I'm gonna go quick. Every time I think I like a few schools it changes. I think there are probably like 10 serious schools right now, but even that isn't for sure yet, so I don't want to say..."
