Green Run (Virginia Beach, VA) head coach Shawn Wilson boasts three potential Division 1A recruits in his 2010 class, including a speedy running back, a fast defensive end/linebacker and a free safety/wide receiver type. Coach Wilson took some time to discuss those top rising seniors who helped the Stallions to a 10-2 record in 2008.

Two of the three players have been offered by Division 1A programs already. 5-8 1/2, 173-pound running back Dejor Simmons , a second-team all-Eastern Region selection in 2008, tops the list with offers from Duke and West Virginia.

“ Dejor Simmons rushed for over 1100 yards last season,” Wilson said. “This past season was only his second full year playing football. He has been running track a lot. He is a 2-time champion in AAU track in the 100 and the 200. I think he ran a 10.4-second 100 and a 21.1-second 200 meters.

“We had three running backs this year and he came out the starter. He had 21 touchdowns. Seventeen of those were rushing and he had four more on screens. He did an excellent job for us. I don’t think he is doing as much track this year to focus on hitting the weights. He has gained 10 pounds already, so he is getting a lot stronger.”
