Rivals - Clifton Garrett talks Core 6 and his recruitment

1/22

CHICAGO - If you compiled a list of favorites for who would get top performer at Monday's Core6 winter showcase, Joliet (Ill.) Plainfield South linebacker Clifton Garrett certainly would have been at the top of that list. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound prospect did not disappoint in taking home the MVP trophy for the event.

"It was one of my goals (to get MVP) but it was a great time out here," said Garrett. "There were some of the top guys in the Midwest here so I had a great time competing against them. In coverage, I felt like I did a really good job so I'm happy with that, that's one of the areas I wanted to improve on."

Like most talented high school football players in the country, Clifton Garrett is earning a lot of attention from colleges across the country.

The 6-foot-2, 218-pound linebacker from Plainfield South High in Plainfield, Illinois is a four-star recruit in the class of 2014 who has received offers from more than a dozen schools including Arizona State, Illinois, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Ole Miss.

In fact, it’s Ole Miss which according to Garrett, sent him 54 letters – all handwritten –in one day.

That’s right, in one day.

Garrett tweeted out a photo of his one day mail haul on Saturday.

It shouldn’t shock anyone that a college program would inundate a high school recruit with letters, but 54 in one day seems a bit extreme. Imagine being his mailman.

Maybe it explains how Ole Miss landed a top five recruiting class on National Signing Day that included four five-star recruits.

That kind of recruiting tactic would have never worked on me. If I were to get a ton of letters in one day, that team would automatically be off the list.

Just thinking about the new, no holds barred rules.

Would I want 5 truckloads of letters dumped in my front yard?

Right, that's the reason. "This school isn't a football power and doesn't quite have the degree I want, but since they sent me 50 hand-written letters everyday, I'll go and live there for the next four years of my life."
