Jaylon Denson (http://rivals.yahoo.com/auburn/football/recruiting/player-Jaylon-Denson-116388) WR 6'3" 190lbs. 4.5 Hoover, Ala (5 Grillz)
Offer:
Auburn (Committed 07/19/10)
Receiving Interest From:
UGA
SPuat
"I like everything about Auburn," Denson said. "They are a family oriented team. They care about you. I come from a good family home, and I feel like Auburn would be the same thing."
Rivals High's Dallas Jackson recently ranked Denson the No. 1 overall performer at the Palmetto State Showdown 7-on-7 tournament in Duncan, S.C.
Jackson said Denson was "the most dominant player at the event and was quite literally uncoverable".
The Palmetto State Showdown:
1. Jaylon Denson
WR, 6-3/190, Hoover (Ala.) High
The word that came out of the mouth of anyone who saw Denson play was "wow." Denson was the most dominant player at the event and was quite literally uncoverable. His size and speed were not wasted as he displayed soft hands and great jumping ability. Denson would go get the ball at the highest point as well as fight for it when the defensive backs may have jumped the route. It was almost an automatic touchdown if quarterback Ryan Carter got the ball anywhere near Denson. His play carried Hoover offensively all three days.

War Damn Denson!

Just a note on how he might have gotten overlooked last season. He played behind TWO Division one WR's that both went to SEC schools.
Also, there are a few other independent Rival's writers that watched Denson's performance at the SC 7 on 7 and say that they are campaigning to get him in the Rivals 250.
You HAVE to be impressed with the staff identifying and raking in a few guys before they hit the national radar. That's a benefit of Tiger Prowl, and the last few years of building actual relationships with coaches around the state.
Seven of our 10 commitments are from the state of Alabama.
That's strong as death and a direct showing that AU is back to being a force in in-state recruiting. JMO...

When Hoover High School wide receiver Jaylon Denson committed to Auburn on Monday, it was big news in his hometown and home state. And it was big news almost 7,000 miles away in Iraq.
That’s where U.S. Army Maj. Ronnie L. Denson, soon to be Lt. Colonel Denson, is stationed. When he got the news that Auburn had extended a scholarship offer to his son, he laughed out loud for happiness.
His wife and Jaylon’s mother, Tarell, laughed as she recounted it.
“You could just hear how big his chest was over the phone,” she said. “He is very excited for Jaylon.”
Jaylon got a firm offer after a standout performance in Auburn’s camp last Saturday. He and his mother visited the campus Monday, and he committed to the school that has long been his favorite.
Maj. Denson wasn’t there to see it. Already an Afghanistan veteran, he deployed to Iraq on July 1.
“If he were here, you’d see him instead of me,” Mrs. Denson said. “He knows the ins and outs of things like this, and it’s a learning opportunity for me. He’s able to kind of coach us from a distance. He’s very involved with Jaylon.”
Maj. Denson, his wife said, left teaching the game to the coaches. He taught lessons of life and how to live it.
“He does more philosophy, teaching, the Bible, kind of making sure he’s a good person,” Mrs. Denson said. “He’s more of a character kind of person. He makes sure Jaylon is a good person and a good guy.”
And Jaylon, Mrs. Denson says, has learned his lessons well.
“Jaylon is a good kid,” she said. “I tell everybody. I don’t have to worry about him getting into any trouble. He always keeps his curfew. Even trusting him with the car, he is always back on time. He is a very good kid. I’m very proud of him.”
When the Densons visited for the A-Day game, they thought Auburn was an ideal fit for their son. When he decided to go to last Saturday’s camp, his father cautioned him not to be discouraged if he didn’t get the offer he wanted so badly.
“I kind of took that as a challenge,” Jaylon said, “so I came up here, did my thing and got the offer.”
And his mother said a prayer of thanks.
“It was not like trying to fit a piece in a puzzle,” Mrs. Denson said. “It was like the piece fell into place. It’s an extension of our family, an extension of what we believe in. I felt that even at the A-Day game. Now that we are here and we see how much care goes into the athletes here, it’s just an extension of home.
“When Jaylon graduates high school and we drop him off at Auburn, I’m going to feel comfortable because I know he will be in a good environment.”
As Jaylon goes into his senior high school season, determined to help Hoover win a second consecutive state championship, he’ll have his father in his heart.
“I’m at peace with it because I know he’s going to come back safe,” Jaylon said. “He was in Afghanistan earlier, and I was kind of nervous about it. But he came back safe. God has his hand on him. In another year, he’ll be back.”

Very cool.

Here's what Chop's talking about, #88 TE is Jaylon Denson. Like Chop stated, he played behind two D1 WR prospects, that's why he mostly played TE last year.

Damn, is this a new quote, or did you just copy/paste from back in the CTT era?

Not hardly. Big difference between 1 star recruits, ,or 2 star recruits already on campus outperforming expectations, and good recruits that simply have not been evaluated yet.

I know this isn't news to coaches in the crootin' biz. I've talked to some coaches that are familiar with Mack Brown's methods, and "recruiting the family" was huge with him. Chizik seems to have learned well from all of his mentors.
