Craig Drummond is the No. 2 ranked defensive end in the country by Scout, and he's in no hurry to jump into the recruiting process.
Craig Drummond of Chicago, Ill. is the No. 2 ranked defensive end in the country
by Scout, and he has been keeping busy this spring outside of football.
"I haven't been able to go to any junior days or anything," said
Drummond. "I'm focusing on my SATs and track right now."
Pushing 6-6 and 260 pounds, it would be quite a sight to see Drummond focusing
on track where he runs the 4x100, 4x200, 4x400, and the high hurdles for his
Morgan Park team.
Drummond is more than just a big athlete with a lot of potential though. He's a
spectacular athlete with a lot of production.
"I had 84 tackles last year, 18 sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble
recoveries, and I scored a touchdown. One of my teammates blocked a punt, and I
picked it up and ran for a touchdown."
Morgan Park went 11-2 last season, and Drummond should have a lot of help on the
defensive line again next year.
"We have about eight starters coming back, and there are three of us coming
back on the defensive line. They might try me on offense some next year, but I
don't know yet."
Studying for the SATs, class work, and track have left Drummond little time to
focus on football recruiting, but that hasn't stopped teams from around the
country from focusing on him.
"I haven't really got into my recruiting much yet. I don't know where I'm
going to visit this summer for camps. I've gotten offers from teams like Miami,
Illinois, Penn State, Oregon, Alabama, USC... a lot of them so far. I'll be
looking at the coaching staff of the teams, but I haven't really thought about
playing close to home or not yet."
The U.S. Army All-American Bowl has been in touch with Drummond about possible
being a part of their game in January, but Drummond hasn't been extended an
official offer yet.
Drummond is taking his time with the recruiting process, but when the time
comes, he'll be one of the hottest commodities on the recruiting market at
defensive end.
