Recruiters zero in on top juniors :: High School Sports ::

Moffett has offers from Illinois, Colorado and Cincinnati. The 6-4, 220-pound linebacker also has attracted interest from Tennessee, LSU, Ohio State, Miami (Fla.), Kansas State, Iowa and Northwestern. He hopes USC will call.

''He could be the best player we've had,'' said Hubbard coach Elton Harris, noting Moffett is the latest in a line of outstanding Hubbard linebackers that includes Reggie Cribbs, Chris Patterson, Ben Henderson, Fred Bateman, Juwan Blackman and Justin Hickman.

''I want to be better than those guys,'' Moffett said. ''I watch film of them all the time and see what they did. They were good, but I can be better. As a senior, I want to weigh 230 pounds and run 4.5 or 4.6 [down from 4.9]. I want the college coaches to see my leadership and ability to make plays from side to side.''

Linebacker Darius Moffett (Chicago/Hubbard) also has yet to select a college. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Moffett has helped his team win all six of its games thus far. Moffett has more than 40 tackles, including six sacks.

Like Drummond, Moffett plans to wait until after the football season to take his visits and select a college. He has four schools under consideration: Illinois, Louisville, Cincinnati and Nebraska, and all four have offered.

"I'm looking at the schools that have offered me," Moffett said. "I'll take my official visits in December and January."

When asked which school sits at the top of his list, Moffett said, "I like my home-state school. I'm kind of a home-state guy. Illinois is a real big school and they have good talent. They've had a lot of successful linebackers."
