Bladen DePriest '24 Recruiting Profile

Coaches, my name is Bladen De Priest, I am a Junior Tight End in the class of 2024 at Milan High School, located in West Tennessee. I am 6’4” and 225 lbs. with a 3.4 GPA. I am a self-starter and understand the importance of hard work and dedication to a football program and school. I asked that you read a letter from my assistant head coach/position coach as he can attest to my character, discipline, and dedication to this great game. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.

Dear NCSA,
It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Bladen De Priest as his position coach to NCSA and any
colleges interested in recruiting this young man. I have coached Bladen at Milan High School
now for 3 years.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Bladen and came to know him as a truly
valuable asset to absolutely any team he is recruited to. Bladen shows extreme qualities as a
leader, a hard worker, and very knowledgeable as a football player. He is the ultimate teammate
and can play multiple positions on the field. He is extremely physical for his frame, has great
hands and feet, and can think on the fly. He excels in catching the football, running routes, and as a
blocker in space.
All of his physical attributes on the field may be overshadowed by his qualities as a leader off the
field. He studies the game, encourages his teammates and when things get tough he is a guy to
keep playing hard and keep fighting. He is truly a “dark-alley guy.” He is one that can be
trusted with the hardest or minimal task and you will know it will be done with great intention
and to the best of his ability.
Please feel free to contact me at [731-414-3078] should you like to discuss Bladen any further
I’d be happy to expand on my recommendation.
Best wishes,
Noah Allen
