It starts:
Shortly after I release rankings for a recruiting class, my phone, email and social media accounts are hit with a barrage of feedback from fans.
Much of the correspondence is centered around one subject; how can a guy be one of the best high player players, and be ranked behind guys that have a resume that doesn't stack up? It is a great point, and one I often struggle with myself.
Acadiana athlete Kevin Moore recently committed to Texas Tech, but did so without much fanfare from Louisiana prep football and recruiting buffs. There are many conflicting views of Moore, whether it's from analyst, college coaches or living room scouts that patrol recruiting message boards, but there is one certainty that prevails; Kevin Moore is one of the best football players in the state of Louisiana.
He recently posted his mid-year senior highlight, and it is much of the same, Kevin Moore dominating his competition like he has since his sophomore season. The two-way star has played a considerable amount of quarterback during his career, but it is his ability as a linebacker that will allow his football career to continue beyond his prep playing days.
LSU linebacker commitment Michael Divinity has received a lot of praise throughout his career for his ability to drop in coverage, and make plays in the passing game, but I would argue that Moore has been the best in the state over the past two years at playing in space. He is an extremely instinctive player, and reads and reacts about as good as any prospect you will find on film. He understands leverage, the importance of taking great angles, and is a great open-field tackler when he gets there. He sees everything, and is an absolute ball-hawk.
