From former
Wolf Pack head coach Chris Ault to current head man Brian Polian, Nevada has a
long history of going after Central Valley football talent.
Leevel Tatum
of Edison High School in Fresno is the latest 559 prospect to get the Wolf Pack
pursuing him, after the 3-star defensive tackle prospect landed his seventh
offer from Nevada on Thursday, Sept. 24.
“Blessed to
receive an offer from the University of Nevada,” Tatum announced on his Twitter page.
Tatum broke
out on the recruiting trail after a stellar junior season that saw 104 tackles,
nine sacks, two forced fumbles and one field goal block, all leading to
all-state second team honors.
Under the
Fresno night time sky, Tatum is known for his explosive first step off the ball and his penetration through offensive lines. He relies on his foot explosion
and upper body strength to wreak havoc against offenses.
He’s one of
three Central Section players to receive a pledge from Nevada for its 2016
class. Hanford High’s Juwuane Hughes (athlete) and Buchanan (Clovis) senior Ben
Parker (defensive end) have landed scholarship offers from the Mountain West
program. Dinuba quarterback Isaac Leppke and Lemoore ATH Jerald Campbell have
received interest from the Nevada coaches.
The Wolf
Pack’s current roster has five former Central Valley stars: Asauni Rufus
(defensive back, Bakersfield High), Brayden Sanchez (wide receiver, Hanford),
Jacob Young (quarterback, Hanford), Blake Wright (running back, Edison) and
Rykeem Yates (defensive line, Edison).
For Tatum,
the Wolf Pack becomes the fourth MWC program to offer him; joining New Mexico,
Wyoming and Colorado State.
