He's supposedly our #1 RB target and visited USF today.

He's supposedly our #1 RB target and visited USF today.

That's a heck of an offer list, includes Wake and Stanford. This kid's a going to be a freakin' rocket scientist (prolly also the son of rocket scientists too, looking at the high school!)

We don't show up on 247's list of schools he's interested in, even though he just spoke with Josh about his visit. Hope that just their stat guys playing catch up. Showing Stanford, VT, USCe and Auburn as his front runners. Hopefuly he liked the weekend, nice pic of him with CSH

Would be a great combo with Jojo, he is more of a slashing back as opposed to the power of Kemp. Would love to see the two of them take on the world.

Kid looks good, and should be able to break some for big gains.

But college players are going to be a lot faster than HS players. He keeps dancing around the backfield like that, he's going to get dropped for some big losses too.

Interesting update, after visit today we move into his top 5. Wow. Oh and Charr, that was his sophmore film too. Got a feeling he is maturing as a runner after looking at that offer list.

His teammate sleeper DE Deondre Barnett has been burning up the circuit. He supposedly visited USF yesterday.

He performed very well at the UCF linemen camp and Folston was there to support him.

UCF attracts talented prospects to linemen camp

Cocoa defensive end Deondre Barnett (6-3, 215)

Barnett was arguably the most impressive of the bunch. He was unblockable in individual drills and is beginning to pick up a lot of attention because of his strong performances on the summer camp circuits.

Cocoa running back Tarean Folston (5-10, 195), who is ranked No.1 on the Sentinel’s 2013 MidEast Super60, was also on campus to watch and support Barnett.

He also performed well at the Miami camp. You can see him between 2:20 and 3:00 mark.

His Scout profile now shows him with a Miami offer.

I think he is known more for being a basketball player.

Perhaps we could take them as a package deal.

Had a killer tourney

All-Tournament selections

Several Team USA members found their way on the IFAF U-19 World Championship All-Tournament team.

On offense, running back Tarean Folston (Cocoa, Fla.),

Folston puts it together at the end

One of the few bright spots for Team USA on offense against Canada was Tarean Folston. The Top247 running back rushed for a game-high 59 yards on 10 carries. Specht said he sees big things in Folston's future.

Tarean Folston led all rushers with 59 yards in the Gold medal game.

“I talked to a coach of a big-time school while I was down here and the coach told me that he thinks Tarean is the best running back in the state of Florida,†Specht said. “I told him I agree with him. I really think he's going to do great things.â€

Folston is considering Auburn, Notre Dame, South Florida, Tennessee and Virginia Tech among others.

Considering USF has already picked up a commitment from JoJo Kemp, wouldn't that make it less likely for Tarean Folston to commit?

I'm kind of enamored with Robert Davis' speed.

We still have a shot on DJ Reid too. One of those guys needs to grab the brass ring.

Looks like Tarean has 5 OVs planned USCe, VPI, Tennessee, Auburn and the University of South Florida. Pretty d*mn good company if you don't mind my saying so. I am pretty sure he is still our no 1 target. Either him or Alex Collins. And if Reid picks the Hokies, it probably takes them out of this competition.
