Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinios University, Wofford College, Illinois State University, Southest Missouri State, Carson-Newman and Henderson State University join a growing list of schools that have named Tyler Addesa is a Top Prospect or extend a camp invite too.

Congrads!!!!!

The problem for Emmitt maybe his size. Watched him at the Rivals camp. Great athlete!!!! but slower than the top LBs at the camp. He may get to big to effectively play LB at D1 and to small to plat DE or DT at the D1 level. FB might be his calling in college. Great kid!!!! Although Kirkland was named the LB MVP at the Rivals camp, based on the drills it was hard to tell the LBs apart. Most were strong, quick and physical.

What hurts this player is Meade's defensive scheme. They are a contain defense, they do not rush the passer. He has natural rush skills (speed & quickness). In a scheme like St. X or Trininty he at least 15-20 sacks a year. Cincinnati started recruiting him as a Sophomore. He is playing FB this year as well 6'2 220 and factor in his bench, squat and powerclean. Pretty mean FB.

He is 6"1 @ 210 now. Remember he still has 2-3 years to grow. Probably will end up 6"3 @ 225-230 great size for todays D1 OLB

Thomas More, Georgetown and Mount Saint Joesph are all receruiting him as DE. He won't play D1 as a DE. DE is just where Meade needs him. Kid benches 315, squats 400 and power cleans 245. Not many LB in KY have those numbers. Eastern Michigan, Cincinnati, Southeastern Missouri and Ball State all recruiting him as a OLB or Hybrid LB but not DE. He had a better shuttle and powerball toss than Eli Brown at the Nike Sparq. At 6"1 205 he is as big as any of the top LB in the state. Should end up somewhere around 6'2 or 6'3 at 220-230 by graduation. Remember most D1 players will redshirt which will increase their size even more. Eastern Michigan thinks he can be a stud at LB.

This another one I watched at the Rivals camp. He worked out with the LBs even though he is the starting DE/FB for the waves. Very physical off the line and good speed. Right now he is scheduled to work out for Ball State University, Eastern Michigan University, University of Cincinnati, Purdue and visit University of Missouri this summer.

You must do more than that. D-1 schools receive hundreds of HUDL links weekly. autopart101 has the best advise. Just sending your HUDL tape and nothing else is not a good idea. Send a brief email with your HUDL link I mean brief. Telling the coach who you are, include your validated measurables and why you are different from other prospects they are considering. Just important are your grades provide them with your current GPA..ACT score and ranking. Parents must get informed to get their child recruited.

You can add Morehead State to that list...Kids don't want to go to losing programs.
