This is one kid to keep an eye on because he has the physical tools to be an NFL star. I've read of him being compared to Randy Moss and Andre Johnson.
This kid plays in my area and is generally considered one of the (if not the) top recruits in the nation (he hasn't declared where he is going yet). I work as a football official, and while I haven't ever worked one of his games, I have talked to a lot of guys who have and they say he is the real deal. Apparently his run after the catch abilities are ridiculous. The rest of his team isn't that good and he goes to a public high school (class 4 out of 5 classes). Most of his stats are hard earned with consistent jamming at the line and double/triple teams. He is 6'6", 220 lbs and is a three sport star. He played on a state championship basketball team last year and was the state champion in the 100m and triple jump as a sophomore (he sat out at the end of last year's track season with a leg injury).Rumor's are that all of the accolades are getting to his head and he is already becoming a bit of a diva. I hope he keeps his head and gets some good coaching in college. Rumors abound on his college choices, but Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas & Missouri are considered likely choices.In one of the most decorated high school football careers of all time, Hillcrest High School's Dorial Green-Beckham has achieved nearly every personal honor possible.
But there is one more statistical plateau now in site for the mega-recruit wide receiver: The nation's career record for receiving yards.
Green-Beckham sits 369 yards short of Abram Booty's career record of 5,867 set in 1996 for Shreveport Evangel Academy in Louisiana, according to the National Federation of High Schools record book.
If last week was any indication, the Rivals.com top recruit in the nation could near the record this week.
Green-Beckham racked up 354 yards last week in a 40-19 win against Rolla, setting a single-game state record.
Hillcrest (6-1) will play host to West Plains (0-7) at 7 p.m. today with a chance to wrap up an outright Ozark Conference championship, the team's first since 2001 and seventh in school history.
It's also the opening of Class 4 district play for Hillcrest. Riding a five-game winning streak, the Hornets made their debut in the state poll this week, checking in at No. 9.
Marshfield plays at Republic in the other Class 4 District 10 matchup.
