A Storied Program

To continue the topic of the week I will take a look at a storied program that has helped hundreds of young men make the jump from high school to college. The famous South West Dekalb high school in Decatur, Georgia is home to many fine athletes most notably Quincy Carter.

This school has been a recruiting hub for almost two decades and this year is no different. The recruiting is headlined by two University of Georgia commits; T.J. Stripling and Ken Malcome. But in my opinion the under rated Auburn commit in Jonathan Mincy could end up being a real quality find. The kid has nice size at cornerback listed at 5'10 185lbs. Mincy's cover skills coupled with his punt return skills make for a versatile threat. Mincy possess great balls skills and has a knack for catching the ball at its highest point. He also utilizes his great technique to put a body on bigger receivers and box them out when making plays on the ball. The areas for improvement are bump and run technique as well as becoming a more aggressive run stopping corner.

Needless to say Auburn is getting a true play maker at the corner position. I also see Auburn as smart decision for Mincy seeing that they have always produced top flight corners. And the program in which Mincy is coming from has always been considered one of the best in the talent laden state of Georgia.

Check Mincy and the rest of the SWD players out:
