Springfield (OH) linebacker recruit Trey DePriest heads into his junior season having enjoyed nice recruiting success this off-season.

“The schools that have offered are Cincinnati, Michigan, West Virginia, Virginia Tech and Oklahoma. Ohio State called and said he will have an official offer on September 1st and so did Alabama,” said Springfield defensive coordinator John Cupps.

The 6-2, 220-pound DePriest started as a freshman on Springfield South High School’s varsity football squad. Springfield South and Springfield North joined this past year, becoming Springfield, but DePriest maintained his role as a starting linebacker in Coach Cupps’ defense.
