Eddie George and his staff drew a circle on a map.
The Tennessee State football coach settled on 250 miles: Within that radius from the Tigersâ campus on John A. Merritt Blvd., George wants to âdominateâ the recruiting scene â not the lower tier of it, not the middle tier, the entire thing from top to bottom.
âFive-star (prospects), four-stars, three-stars and in between,â he said.
Thatâs a lofty goal. Historically black colleges and universities are enjoying renewed interest from high-major basketball recruits â  itâs believed Maker Makur was the first five-star recruit to sign with an HBCU when he chose Howard over bluebloods Kentucky and UCLA last year â but high-end football recruits have been a more difficult sell.
Roland McGhee Jr. viewed his college decision as a relatively easy choice.
Toledo football checked all the boxes academically, athletically and family wise. Plus the Rockets coaching staff kept in contact with him more than any other program.
McGhee announced his commitment on June 26, picking Toledo over offers from Akron, Tennessee State and UT Martin.
âThey had everything I needed, so I was like, letâs go,â he said.
McGhee is the latest Ensworth safety to pledge to an FBS school. He will follow former Tigers Rodney Owens (Memphis), Jaylon King (Georgia Tech), Keyshawn Lawrence (Oklahoma) and Andre Turrentine (Ohio State) to the highest level of college football next year.
