One of South Panola's top linemen updated us with his latest recruiting news. How did you enjoy your camp at Southern Miss and Memphis? "They both were very well organized camps I liked Memphis more because I got to talk to the coach and got coached up individually when I made a mistake during a drill which I made very few mistakes," added Marjarvin Chapman. "I really like Coach Morrow the O-line coach we clicked at the camp." Are there any new schools showing up on the recruiting radar? "Yes, there is Georgia Tech, Toledo, Boston College, and Florida Atlantic, but out of these new schools Georgia Tech is showing the most interest in me." Talk more about Georgia Tech. "I like the style of Coach Wommack's defense." What is your dream school and have they or anyone offered you yet? "Mississippi State is my dream school. I grew up a big Bulldog fan and I hope they offer. If they offer, I will probably commit as soon as they offer me. Memphis is my top choice right now. Me and Coach Joseph talk a lot on the phone, and I believe they will be the first to offer me." What else stands out about MSU? "I like the coaching staff, and I believe Coach Croom has them headed in the right direction." And Memphis "I like the location and the relationship I have with the recruiting coordinator, and I love the campus." Who else are you in interested in? "Ole Miss. I like their location. It is only like 25 min from and I have family that play football for them. I like Southern Miss too. I have always been a fan of Southern Miss and this past year they signed a lot of players from my school. Clemson is cool. I like their prestige and all the exposure they get. I love that about them. LSU is up there. Year in and year out they have a very good shot of not only winning the SEC but winning a National Championship. Florida Atlantic, they are up and coming program and I want to learn more about them. And some D 2 and D 3 schools have been looking at me. I'm not really sure what level they are they are Jamestown College and Hillsdale College. Which school or schools would you like to see recruiting you harder? "LSU and Arkansas cause they are in the SEC, the best and most competitive conference in America." What are Arkansas' positives? "They are just a SEC school, and they were one of the first SEC schools to start recruiting me." Who is the best player you have faced? "Montez Philips, no doubt about it, he can run and throw very good. He reminds me of Vince Young and Mike Vick but he doesn't run as much as Mike Vick." Who do you think will be the toughest team you will face this year? "There are about three or four answers to this question. Apopka (FL), Olive Branch, Tupelo, and Columbus but every game will be tough this year. We just have to play hard until the whistle blows every play of the game and we should be just fine." If not Marjarvin Chapman who will be Mr. Football 2009? "David Conner. Not just because he's my teammate and first cousin, he can flat out play. David has a nose for the ball, and when he gets to the ball carrier, he gets there in an angry mood. But there are a lot of players deserving of this award, and I wish all of them the best of luck this season. What is your current academic
