On the cusp of five-star land is Friendship Collegiate Academy (Washington, D.C.) cornerback Jalen Tabor, who is the fifth-ranked player in the region. He is long and runs well, has a 6-foot-2 frame but his loosehips allows him to turn quickly and stay on the hip of a receiver. He also has the acceleration to make up ground.

- Five-star cornerback Jalen Tabor (Washington, DC/Friendship Academy) was on hand Saturday, but did not take many reps of go through drills. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder did catch everyone's attention showing up with Florida Gators shorts, socks and a backpack on. The No. 17 ranked prospect in the 247Composite said Florida and Alabama are two schools that will definitely receive official visits with Florida State a likely third.

Quote:
Washington (D.C.) Friendship Academy four-star cornerback Jalen Tabor caused a bit of a stir when he arrived at the Next Level Nation 5-star Elite Showcase Saturday afternoon.
The 6-foot-1, 182-pound prospect walked in wearing Florida Gator shorts, socks and book bag. While the Gators are considered one of the early favorites, they are one of nearly 10 schools still in the running.

“Florida, Florida State, Alabama, Maryland, Clemson, Tennessee, Notre Dame, I’m probably missing one or two, but that’s really it,” Tarbor said.

With that said, Tabor is only sure of two of those schools getting official visits this coming fall.

“I would say definitely two schools I know I’m going to take an official visit to - Florida and Alabama,” he proclaimed. “Florida State is close, if I had to say three, I would say Florida State. Just Florida and Alabama right now.”

A big draw for the Gators in Tabor’s eyes is their head coach - Will Muschamp.

“He’s a fiery coach I’d like to play for just like my high school head coach,” Tabor said. “He sees you make a play, he’s going to be right there in it jumping up and down doing the Gator chomp. He’s not the type of coach that’s going to walk the sidelines, pace, ‘OK, good job everybody.’ He’s going to be fired up just like the kids are fired up, so that’s a plus.”

Tabor also has a good connection with Alabama assistant Lance Thompson.

“(Thompson) is a real down to earth guy,” Tabor said. “You would think since they won three out of four national championship he would tell you about how great they are, but he’s real down to earth, real humble guy. You always got to like those guys.”

It’s a pair of Florida State assistants that may have the longest relationship with the talented cornerback.

“I love (FSU assistants) Sal Sunseri and Odell Haggins,” he said. “Coach Sal, ever since he’s been at Alabama recruiting me as a freshman, so his word matters a lot to me. That’s one of my favorite coaches right now. Definitely top three coaches for me right now I’d put everything on the line for.

“(Haggins) has been recruiting me since the tenth grade too, so every time he came to get Eddie Goldman, he came for me.”

Tabor said his coach and stepfather will help him with his decision, but his mother will play the biggest role for him.

“It’s mainly my mother,” Tabor said. “Coach is definitely involved. We sit down sometimes, but not as much as my mom. We might talk about it one night for an hour, just random.

“She basically says keep your head on straight, don’t let it overwhelm you or nothing like that. She likes a few schools, she’ll always says ‘Go Gators’ or ‘Roll Tide’ every now and then. She has her favorites too.”

At the end of the day, though, the decision will be Tabor’s to make.

“Wherever I can succeed at, she’s going to be happy.”

Tabor is the No. 17 ranked prospect in the Class of 2014 247Composite

Tabor is another tall, athletic and scheme-versatile corner in this class who could be recruited to play CB or safety. Very good height with lean bulk. He has a strong, explosive frame and knows how to use it to play physical when the scheme or technique calls for it. Runs well, has good acceleration and long-striding speed to make up ground. Lacks elite speed and has better range, making safety a good possibility in college given his size.

Quote:
As expected, Tabor was nearly unbeatable. His great instincts allow him to bait the quarterback into an ill-advised throw. That's when the Rivals100's amazing ball skills come into play. Tabor made some unbelievable one-handed catches on defense and offense throughout the day. Although he looked a little stiff in his backpedal, Tabor was rarely tested and it never became a factor.

Tabor's teammate and CB starting opposite of him D'Andre Payne just committed to Tennessee...could help us here.

Doubtful we can land him though.

I can't read the article because I am not an insider, but after checking Rivals it appears that Tabor named SC into his top 10 schools. For Ericvol Tennessee is there too, it is Bama, Clemson, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio state, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Tennessee, according to Rivals.

I don't understand for the life of me why highly rated CBs give Clemson such a strong look... they don't have a history of having good CBs or sending CBs to the NFL.

At least we are on the list, which was pretty surprising to me. I thought we didn't have a chance with him

You could argue that Tabor was more impressive on offense than he was on defense at the event. The 6-foot-1, 184-pound athlete showed great athleticism on offense as he was running routes at receiver, in addition to his ability to lock down receivers while playing cornerback. Tabor made a ton of plays in the secondary and went against each team’s top receiver during each matchup.

We have once again made the cut with Jalen Tabor, this time for his top 5. It is on ESPN insider, so I can't read it, but I checked with rivals to make sure. His top 5 is Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt. 5 SEC teams

It seems he likes Florida the most with Bama, Tennessee, Vandy, and SC somewhere behind there, but 247 doesn't recognize that he has a new top 5 without FSU, and they still have their predictions going to FSU. I don't know where Rivals and ESPN could be getting their info that 247 wouldn't be getting the same idea
