Looked at his Hudl page:

Most of the clips were hoops.

Who knew there was a Mount Airy, Georgia as well as North Carolina?

I was expecting to see some track performances.

The last Georgia hoops player we recruited as a DB despite a low ranking turned out pretty well...is this one a good rebounder?

A bit of hype maybe? While he was two-way POY in the 8AAAAAA district, he wasn't first team all-district at either wide receiver or defensive back.

No surprise, probably. Habersham central didn't win a conference game.

It will take someone tuned in to Georgia high school football to accurately answer your question. I did notice none of the player of the year award winners were also listed at their offense/defense position.

Yep, Google is your friend -- until it isn't.

Bang Bang DukeGang.

Duke receives a commitment from Jordan Moore, a 3 star athlete from Maryland, #31 in the state, w/ multiple P5 offers including UCLA, Pitt, Virginia and Wisconsin. He chose Duke because we recruited him as ab QB.

Does this mean we are no longer after Pro style QB Christian Veilleux? We are one of the four finalist for him and he is very highly regarded. He's also being recruited by Penn State, Clemson, and Tennessee.

Excellent news! Welcome to DukeGang.

Coach Cutcliffe and staff certainly do not desire to be caught short handed at quarterback like last season. Jordan Moore is on the bus so it is time to finish the deal with Veilleux.

Nice mention for Duke's recruiting by Rivals Mike Farrell, under the title of:

Fact or Fiction: North Carolina is the only surprise in the ACC in 2021 recruiting so far.

Farrell’s take: FICTION. Look at Duke. I like what David Cutcliffe is doing this recruiting year and the Blue Devils' latest commitment from Jordan Moore is a good one because he can play quarterback, wide receiver or defensive back. The class is mostly filled with low three-stars but that’s to be expected with Duke’s academic restrictions and overall lack of success in football. There are some versatile and talented players in this class early.

Rosters filled with lower three star recruits won’t win us football games. Potentially a few diamonds in that group, but think we need to be getting mid-upper three stars and an occasional 4* (1-2 per class minimum) to really be able to consistently compete in the ACC.

Nice find Roy. I agree re Jordan. I watched his film - the kid will be a playmaker at whatever position he ends up playing.
