JULY 2019 ■ 135 ■ FOOTBALL RECRUITING loss, three interceptions, three passes bro- ken up, two forced fumbles, a fumble re- covery and blocked a kick. He also is an ef- fective returner on special teams, averaging 38.8 yards on 11 kickoff returns and 27.4 yards on five punt runbacks. He returned two kickoffs and one punt for scores. Duke, North Carolina and South Caro- lina are Conley's top three schools. He is ranked by Rivals.com as a three-star re- cruit, the No. 16 player in the state and the No. 32 safety in the country. 7. JACOLBE COWAN, DL Providence Day High Cowan has enough up- side that a case could be made that he is a top-three player in the state. In the mold of Bingley-Jones and Murphy, Cowan is a physi- cally impressive 6-5, 277 pounds and may be more athletic than the other two. The key for Cowan is turning those physical gifts into consistency and produc- tion on the field. As a junior, he recorded 24 tackles and five sacks in eight games for Providence Day. Those numbers were down from his sophomore year, when he had 65 stops, 23 tackles for loss and 12 sacks in nine contests. Cowan made an official visit to Ohio State in June and unofficially went to Geor- gia in May. Rivals.com ranks Cowan as a four-star prospect, the No. 5 recruit in the state, and the No. 5 strongside defen- sive end and No. 88 overall player in the country. 8. MUHSIN MUHAMMAD, WR Myers Park High Muhammad comes from good bloodlines as the son of the former Carolina Pan- thers standout by the same name. As a junior, Mu- hammad caught 58 passes for 1,003 yards and eight touchdowns, and the year before while playing for Providence Day he had 54 re- ceptions for 703 yards and six scores. Size-wise, Muhammad (6-0, 170 pounds) is probably best suited to be a slot receiver in college. He's not an exceptional athlete, but that has not stopped him from being productive in high school or domi- nating various spring and summer camps. Muhammad verbally committed to Texas A&M in June. He is regarded by Rivals. com as a four-star recruit, the No. 6 pros- pect in North Carolina, and the No. 25 wide receiver and No. 108 overall player nationally.
