JULY 2016 ■ 135 ■ FOOTBALL RECRUITING strongside defensive end in the country. Arkansas, Duke, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Miami, NC State, North Carolina, Penn State, Pitt, Purdue, South Carolina, Tennes‑ see, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest have all offered. He visited NCSU, where his former teammate Nyheim Hines is a sophomore receiver/running back, in late June on the same day Greene was in town. 7. HAMSAH NASIRILDEEN, ATH Concord High Nasirildeen is rated high because of his upside and a projection of what he could be. At 6‑5, 200 pounds, he has a frame that would support consid‑ erably more weight without sacrificing much athleti‑ cism. He has already been hand‑timed at 4.60 seconds in the 40‑yard dash at a Shrine Bowl Combine. Nasirildeen notched 85 tackles, five in‑ terceptions, two forced fumbles and seven passes broken up on defense last year. However, he is raw and needs to improve his lateral quickness. He plays primarily safety for Concord, but could easily add 30 pounds and become a linebacker. Rivals.com rates him as a four‑star tal‑ ent, and the No. 9 athlete and No. 143 overall player in the country. He has a top five of Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State and South Carolina. 8. T.J. MOORE, OL Charlotte Mallard Creek High Like Nasirildeen, Moore is a bit of a projection based on his physical upside. He is part of a loaded offen‑ sive line at Mallard Creek that helped the school win a third straight 4‑AA state title last year. Moore stands 6‑5½, 280 pounds and moves well for his size, clocking in the shuttle at 4.86 seconds at the Nike Opening in Char‑ lotte. He needs to continue to work on his fundamentals and technique, but coaches cannot teach his combination of size and nimbleness. Moore has a top four of South Carolina, Tennessee, NC State and North Carolina. The two SEC schools were considered leaders over the Tobacco Road schools. Rivals.com lists him as a four‑star prospect and the No. 11 offensive guard nationally. 9. CHRIS INGRAM, CB Mooresville High Ingram is a natural cover corner that was not tested much last year on the high school Management Professionals, Inc.
