The recruiting process is an interesting things to fully understand. You have your kids who get noticed late in the recruiting process, then there are the camp junkies who get noticed while performing in t-shirt and shorts, and then there are those few kids that everyone wants.
In the case of James Vaughters everyone wants him. This 2011 defensive end/linebacker has so much going for him its clear why he is so coveted. James is 6'2 220lbs and has a 4.0 GPA. Not only does he look the part, but he comes from a tradition rich football high school. Probably some of the more famous Tucker high school alumni are Brandon Lang and Thomas Brown.
When it comes to on the field James can do it all. The kid is quick and shows strength that translates beyond the weight room. When taking on bigger players he has great leverage and pop from the hips. And when tackling players he explodes through ball carriers a rarely misses. He reminds me a lot of a larger version of Rennie Curran. He has the speed to chase down ball carriers from the backside and moves his hips well in pass coverage.
I think when it is all said and down Vaughters will commit to the Georgia Bulldogs and play middle linebacker. At that position he will excel and eventually barring injury make the jump to the NFL.
Check out his highlights from Sophomore year and see all the potential.
