Jeremy Ruckert is not a household name at this point, but given the impressive list of college football programs that he is considering, that could change in the very near future. The four-star 2018 tight end took to Twitter this week to announce a "top 13" list and he did so in a wildly interesting way.
Instead of simply listing the schools (likely on an iPhone notepad), Ruckert put together a video highlighting all 13 programs and this is an innovative approach. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound tight end from Lindenhurst, N.Y. is considering teams from across the land, but some of the top-tier programs include Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, Auburn, Florida and Florida State.
At this early stage, Ruckert receives a four-star grade from each of the major recruiting services (ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, Scout) and he solidly falls within the top ten players at the tight end position for 2018. There will be plenty of time for Jeremy Ruckert to weigh his options, but until then, we can marvel at the newfangled way in which he broke the news of his exclusive list on Twitter.
Paging Urban Meyer, Jim Harbaugh, Nick Saban, Gus Malzahn, Jimbo Fisher and others... it is time to turn up the intensity for this top prospect.
