ESPN featured a young football player this week, a Suffield Academy student whom the sports giant calls “an elite college prospect” with “raw ability… and a drive unparalleled."
Christian Wilkins is 6-foot-4, 295 pounds and ranked 107th in the class of 2015 by ESPN, according to the article. Though just heading into his junior year at Suffield, Wilkins already has offers from a dozen schools, including Ohio State, Florida State, UConn, Boston College, Stanford and Penn State.
In addition to playing defensive tackle, Wilkins plays on Suffield basketball team and played in the Boston Amateur Basketball Club (BABC) on the AAU circuit this summer.
