How do we define what is a top college football recruit

When I developed the S.T.E.P ratings program used at College Football Today to rank college football recruits, I took into consideration many variables that are proven factors for being a dominant athlete at the next level. While many of these factors include football related activities and game footage, we also combined academics, community achievements, awards and over 100 other variables that pertain to excelling at the next level. Having been doing this now for over 10 years, as I always helped my brothers move on to bigger and better things during my own playing days. I realized many are not making it because they are lacking in one area or another. Justin Schiets not only performs outstandingly as a Linebacker, but he is an exceptional student and enjoys uplifting others in his community.

As seen on the very first play in his highlights below, Justin has outstanding quickness when blitzing from the MLB position, as he has a verified 4.7 40 yard dash speed. Schiets beautifully disrupts a read-option play coming off the edge on the 2nd play and proves to be able hold the edge very well throughout his film when needed. You will not find to many LB recruits in the nation with a 4.65 GPA and an ACT score of 25, across the landscape of college football recruiting and Justin proves to just as smart of a football player for Toledo Central Catholic. Justin is seen barreling through blockers once again on the very next play and is able to once again get to the QB extremely quickly for the sack. On the next run play, you are going to witness him fill the hole extremely keenly, as he diagnoses the play immediately and uses his outstanding athletics to pummel the ball carrier to the turf. You will watch one of the best pass rushers on tape I have seen at the MLB position this season very often in this film and extremely good overall tackling technique. I am really impressed with Justin's agility and his ability to cover sideline to sideline, as he is able to change directions extremely quickly to either avoid defenders or track down ball carriers.
