Intro: Francis Kallon

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Central Gwinnett has a few prospects already known in the 2012 and 2013 class, but Francis Kallon is a new one that is emerging. He's never played football before, but already has two offers.

Francis Kallon is a 6-foot-5, 241 pound 2012 prospect out of Central Gwinnett in Lawrenceville, Ga.

He moved over to the United States from London a year ago and he decided to go out for football this spring. Coaches from all over have stopped by Central Gwinnett all spring to check on George Morris, Aaron Taylor, and Trey Johnson, but many have started to ask about Kallon now too.

He picked up offers from Arkansas and North Carolina State on Monday and more offers are likely to come. He has that size and athleticism that coaches love and he is starting to draw a lot of attention.

Scout was out to see him recently and here is a Photo Gallery and a quick Scouting Report:

Scouting Report: Kallon has yet to play a down in a football game, but it is easy to see why schools like him early. He has that size, he moves very well, and he likes to be physical. You cannot judge him off his technique because he is learning the game every day as he goes through practice, but it is easy to see he has potential. He is currently playing defensive end for Coach Todd Wofford and the Gladiators, but offensive tackle could be his home on the next level. He is a very lean 241 pounds, he has very long arms, he is light on his feet, and this is a position he could possibly excel at. He has nice bend, he has some fire on the field, and it will nice to monitor his progress this fall.

Chad Simmons started out with Scout in 2003 covering top talent in Georgia and other areas in the South. He then moved on to another Recruiting Service from 2004-2008 before returning to Scout the first of 2009 to become Southeast Recruiting Manager.
