By Phil Kornblut
Fort Dorchester junior LB Robert Quinn (6-4 255) was offered last week by Alabama according to his coach Steve LaPrad. Quinn also has offers from USC, Clemson, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Florida and Tennessee. He is also getting interest from Florida State, Miami, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Georgia. LaPrad said recruiters from USC, Clemson, Florida and Alabama have been in to check on Quinn, and Tennessee is coming in. LaPrad says two other junior Patriots to watch are DB Durell Mitchell (6-0 175) and DB Tony Mack (6-2 175). LaPrad said Mitchell "loves USC." And Mack is getting early interest from USC, Clemson, Florida and Tennessee. LaPrad said Tennessee is very interested in Mack.

Robert is focusing mostly on USCarolina, Auburn, Maryland, Tennessee and Florida. However, he does not claim a favorite and says he is open to other schools.

My Take: Stud. I met Robert with '07 5-Star DE Carlos Dunlap at the SCVarsity Media Day. He definitely passes the look test and, in my opinion, is the better "football player" of the two. He does not have Dunlap's freakish athleticism, but has better instincts.

Defintiely looks to have all the athletic ability and vitals to be a big playmaker. Would love to land him. Everybody talks of our depth at DE, but we need AT LEAST 1, probably 2, in 2008 depending on who mooves inside. Robert Quinn would be a welcomed addition.

Quinn is close friends with Patriot defensive end Carlos Dunlap Jr. who signed with Florida earlier this month, and he kept a close watch on the recruiting process through Dunlap. "I learned to not listen to all the people who want me to go to their favorite school," he said. "I should just go where I feel the best. It would be neat to play with him again. I'll take my trip down there one day and see if I like it. Who know, I might play with him again." As for the in state schools, Quinn said he had not favorite between the Gamecocks and Tigers.

Film.

My Take: The last clip in this series shows his serious upside. Robert is not as explosive as former teammate Carlos Dunlap, but he is a more disciplined football player with massive potential. The last clip shows a flatbacked burst, a sharp change of direction, and excellent closing speed...a glimpse of what could be.
