Jordan Pool
Athlete, Class of 2021
West Stanly High School, Oakboro, NC
6-0, 210

As it always does, the position will sort itself out. But for now, West Stanly (NC) 2021 three-star Jordan Poole is caught in between linebacker and running back.

Poole has four offers, from Virginia Tech, South Carolina, NC State and East Carolina. Between the four, there’s some differing opinions on where he could fit best at the college level. The good thing, though, is Poole still has two seasons of high school football remaining, and as his body and game continue to develop, he’s not overreading his recruitment or position.

“Most offers are for linebacker, but Virginia Tech is recruiting me for linebacker and running back,” Poole said. “It’s one of those deals where I have to see where I best fit. Mostly, I’m trying to figure that out. I’m leaning more towards defense. I love running back, too, but at linebacker, I just feel like that’s a better fit for me. That’s what I’m focusing on this year. I think linebacker might be the place, but if it’s not, I’m a running back. I’m just going to do what’s best.”
