I've been seeing a lot of posts on Twitter of players being offered by Tulane. Some go as far as class of '19, but most are '17 and '18. What I find interesting is, if you look at their profile, they're listing their GPA and sometimes ACT score. I've seen a lot of 3.5, 3.7, etc, so obviously Fritz is targeting players that he knows can handle the schoolwork.

That said, here's another one I find interesting, class of 2017. Reed Blankenship, from West Limestone, AL. He's a WR - FS - QB. His hudl highlights show him in all three positions. He's 6-2, and runs a 4.46, and a GPA of 3.6. One clip shows off his speed (2:10 mark on clip), where he runs all the way to the sideline to tackle a running back before he gets outside.

Just a few days ago FootballScoop.com had an article that said all resumes should always reference GPA and ACT scores.

As the board member closest to this gentleman, I must say that he will get a lot of looks by AL and TN schools. But wow he's got some foot speed.
Fan since 1965 and was at the 14-0 Victory over LSU. It can be done.
