The Offers Keep Coming for RBC’s Jack Tabb
For a player who doesn’t have a whole lot of varsity football experience (one year), Red Bank Catholic junior Jack Tabb has become a prime target of some of the nation’s top football programs. He now has seven Division I offers – Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, Iowa, Florida, North Carolina and Pittsburgh, according to Caseys coach Jim Portela. If I’m not mistaken, Tabb is the first Shore Conference player to get an offer from perennial national title contender Florida since Knowshon Moreno’s days at Middletown South. For a 6-4, 250-pound tight end, he runs well and is athletic. I don’t even think he caught 10 passes last season as a junior because RBC was more of a run-oriented team behind the tandem of Andrew Casten and Kevin Whitlock. I believe rising junior Ryan Spahr, who is a baseball standout with a strong arm, looks to be the Caseys’ next quarterback, so I would think Tabb will be more of an impact offensive player as a senior. But as we all know, it’s not necessarily what you do in high school, it’s what you project to do at the next level, and Tabb has all the requisite measurements and times to put him front and center in the recruiting efforts of a lot of quality programs. http://theblitzallshoremedia.wordpre...bcs-jack-tabb/ |

I'd say Butch is setting up camp in NJ with no plans for leaving.

Sure seems like it. I wonder what the connection with NJ is? We've offered more NJ kids this year alone than I think we probably ever have.

I think you're right. One, its probably to try and negate Rutgers and Syracuse, but also there is talent there that Michigan, ND, and the South are making inroads at. Get their first, and set up camp

Butch Jones was a graduate assistant at Rutgers University from 1990-1992. He was there as a defensive assistant.

It happens to the best of us. People forget about it because he was just a grad assistant there. Either way, he seems to have some kind of connection with NJ. There are some good players that come out of there. It would be nice to get a chunk of those.

Jack Tabb (Red Bank, N.J./Red Bank Catholic) is a player college coaches like at first sight because he has an impressive physique. They probably like him even more when they learn that he's played only one year of varsity football.
Tabb was among the top prospects who attended the second session of the Boston College camp this week. Tabb, who will be a senior next fall, worked out as both a tight end and a linebacker on Monday. Some schools have also told Tabb that they see him as a defensive end. Jack Tabb is the No. 11-ranked TE in the 2011 class. "I still feel like I have an edge at tight end, but the more I learn as a defensive player the more comfortable I'm becoming there," Tabb said. Tabb, who stands a shade over 6-foot-3 and weighs 241 pounds, has received 19 scholarship offers. The most recent offer came from Arkansas last week. Boston College, Florida, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, West Virginia, Virginia, Iowa and Wisconsin are among the other schools that have made offers. Tabb made it clear that he'd prefer not to attend school too far from his New Jersey home, but one school could lure him out West. "I don't want to leave the region, but if I was going to go out West, Oregon would be the school," Tabb said. "Oregon is sending me mail on a consistent basis. Oregon State too." Tabb moved to New Jersey from Indiana after his freshman year, and didn't play football as a sophomore. Although he played in a run-based offense, Tabb caught seven passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns last season. Defensively, he made 52 tackles and recorded two sacks. He said he hasn't started to trim the list of schools he's considering. He has scheduled unofficial visits to Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Virginia next week. He also said that Boston College is a school he's seriously considering. "I like BC," he said. "I came here in the spring and it was a good experience. I felt comfortable with the coaches. I love the campus. They're definitely on my list." Tabb said that he's satisfied with his current offers, but would like to add Notre Dame and Miami to the list. "I'd just like to get offers from them because they're big-time programs," he said. "I'm hoping to make a decision during the season or right after. I definitely don't want to take it all the way to signing day." http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recru...ory?id=5315093 |
