Auburn Kev 1,653 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Quote Wesley Steiner wins The Opening Football Rating Championship ByKeith Niebuhr 101 minutes ago FRISCO, Texas — Four-star linebacker Wesley Steiner of Warner Robins (Ga.) Houston County showed Monday why he is such a big target of the Auburn Tigers during the Football Rating Championship at The Opening Finals. He ran fast, showed off his strength, jumped high and flashed his terrific agility while facing off against many of the country's elite recruits. In the end, Steiner finished the event with a total score of 148.17 to claim the title as the nation's most athletic high school football player. Ohio State receiver commit Julian Fleming was second at 140.04. Georgia cornerback commit Jalen Kimber was third at 140.01 The 5-feet-11.5, 220-pound Steiner, who will announce his commitment Tuesday (he's down to Auburn and Stanford), is the No. 6 athlete and No. 72 overall recruit nationally in the industry generated 247Sports Composite. He projects at inside backer in college. Steiner produced a 4.51-second 40-yard dash, 40.2-inch vertical jump, 4.00 short shuttle and 42.5-foot powerball throw. Last year's winner, Georgia defensive end signee Nolan Smith, won with a score of 141.75. Five-star Auburn linebacker signee Owen Pappoe was second in the same competition thanks to his 140.25 rating. Papoe registered a 40 time of 4.54 seconds. “I didn’t think that was going to happen," Steiner said. "I was going to relax and if it happened, it happened. I tried not to be disappointed if I didn't get it. I think I did a really good job. There's still things I can improve on. There's a higher record so that's something to chase. But I'm having fun. It doesn't matter how many reps I win or lose, I'm enjoying myself." Steiner on Friday cut his list of possible schools and his decision will come down to the Tigers and Cardinal. “I think I've narrowed it down to two schools,” Steiner said Friday. “I really like Georgia Tech and I really like LSU, but my heart has been going back and forth between Auburn and Stanford. That’s really what it is. Auburn is close to home. I enjoy being there. Stanford — that degree is something else. And it’s beautiful out there. There’s no denying that. There’s a lot of great people out there. I just keep going back and forth between those schools.” According to Steiner, he has built a strong relationship with Auburn linebackers coach Travis Williams. “We’re very close,” Steiner said. “For one, our personalties are very similar. When he speaks his mind he speaks his mind. When he doesn’t need to speak it, he doesn’t. When he does, he’s usually right about things. That’s kind of how I am for the most part. He’s very straight forward. He doesn’t beat around the bush. I don’t like beating around the bush either.” Steiner does not yet know what time his announcement will take place Tuesday. When asked if he was ready to reveal his choice, Steiner replied, "Yes sir." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,700 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 So do people think he can get admitted to Stanford? Having interest in GT also really makes me think it's possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he may be, it was really more of a formal question. Like having interest with GT and Stanford, made me wonder if he really could've gotten in.

BTW.....I will fight you on the ending of GOT...major BOOOO Haha - i didnt think it was as horrible as I had heard (my wife and I where starting Season 7 when it aired), but it did disappoint compared to the rest of the series. I am not exactly sure how I would want it to end though. My tag line is just a jab at those who had a complete come apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having interest in GT also really makes me think it's possible Stanford is similar to, say, Vandy and other "academic" institutions. While their admission standards for athletes are higher than most, a scholardhip athlete can get in with lower academic credentials than Joe or Jane student in the general population. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 If I correctly understood Keith, Steiner set his commitment date without having heard back from Stanford about his admission status. Which would suggest that he made his decision without knowing whether or not Stanford was even an option for him. Obviously not a lock, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Stanford even makes those decisions til winter time of recruits' SR years anyway. He's picking Auburn for Auburn regardless of what Stanford says. 15 of 16 expert picks are for AU & 14 of those have been made the past 3 days. Virtual AU lock. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFDTiger80 790 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 If he can show some pass coverage skill, I would bet this kid sees the field early. AU has pulled some all-timers out of the Warner Robbins area in the past. Great looking prospect. War Eagle! Now, can we sign 3,4 star massive offensive linemen!

Cardin Drake 1,851 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Well, I feel good about it, and Steiner would be a huge pickup. The words 'virtual lock" seem like baiting the karma gods, however. Not that I'm superstitious, knock on wood.
