Recruiting Round Up: Week 3


benfaunce
  • Here's a look at how IU football commits from the 2016 class fared in the third week of high school football action.

Peyton Ramsey connected on 12-of-14 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns, leading Elder (Cincinnati, Ohio) to a 35-17 win. Ramsey also tacked on 70 rushing yards on eight carries.

 

After a third big game in a row, Ramsey’s total yardage adds up to 825 on the season.

 

Ramsey’s touchdowns came on deep routes that went for 26 and 18 yards. The quarterback also came up just short of a rushing touchdown, but if you look at the video it is clear that Ramsey actually crossed the goal line as he dove for the pylon.

 

Ramsey’s dive for the end zone, as well as his 26-yard touchdown strike, can be seen at the following Fox10 link:

Phil Benker launched Sandalwood (Jacksonville, Fla.) to a 34-3 victory last Friday, grabbing six passes for 122 yards and a touchdown.

 

The touchdown came off a deep post, where Benker split the defensive backs, caught the pass in complete stride and showed off his speed by outrunning the defense for 50 yards.

 

Cole Gest did all he could to help St. Edward (Lakewood, Ohio) get past St Joseph, but even his 133 rushing yards on 22 carries wasn’t enough to earn the win. St. Edward fell 22-20, but Gest kept the game alive with a pair fourth quarter touchdowns.

 

Gest’s first touchdown came on a 16-yard score, and the second was punched in from the one-yard line.

 

After a tough opener, Gest has back-to-back solid performances. In the his last two contests, Gest is averaging 172 yards per game and has found the end zone five times.

 

A’shon Riggins caught four passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns, while also finding the end zone a third time on a 12-yard rush. However, Hamilton (Ohio) fell to Kings 42-34.

 

Riggins’ showed off his big play ability for the third straight week, scoring on receptions of 89 and 32 yards.

 

It isn’t all good news for Hoosier fans though. According to Today’s U, Riggins received an offer from Wisconsin this week.

 

“I have already been locked in with Indiana as my commitment,” Riggins told Today’s U. “But just to have that honor from (Wisconsin’s) program… they have a good program. I don’t know what’s going to happen at Indiana. If their staff gets fired, that would be the only reason that I would decommit, but right now I’m pretty locked in.”

 

Jayme Thompson has missed the last two weeks with a groin injury.

 

Chris Henderson had three tackles, including a sack, in a Lovejoy (Geo.) loss, 17-16. Henderson displayed good vision and the ability to stay true to his assignment on the option. A game highlight tape can be seen here:

When you have a kid from the state of Florida putting up good numbers I don't care how many stars he has.
