Plant TE a top prospect
Quarterback Aaron Murray isn’t the only Plant junior that’s a target of major college programs. Tight end Orson Charles, who recently transferred to the school from Riverview, has received scholarship offers from Auburn and Iowa, UCFSports.com reported Thursday.
Clemson, Florida, Miami, Tennessee and UCF are among those also showing interest.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Charles is both a solid receiver and an excellent blocker. Given the fact Plant, led by the record-setting Murray, throws the ball 30-40 times a game, Charles should see a substantial amount of passes go his way in 2008.
Auburn recently signed Plant receiver Derek Winter. The Tigers have targeted numerous county players in the Class of 2009, including several at Armwood. Through the years, Iowa has actively recruited the area.
