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.''
