Northwestern dips into Texas for another

Running back Auston Anderson (Plano, Texas/West) committed Thursday to sign with the Northwestern Wildcats, multiple sources report. He is the second 2014 prospect from the Lone Star State to pick NU for 2014. Three-star safety Jordan Thomas (Klein, Texas/Collins) got the Wildcats' class started with his decision in December.
The 5-foot-9, 180-pound Anderson selected Northwestern over scholarship offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, Baylor, California, Georgia Tech, Navy, Nebraska, Rice, Stanford, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech, UCLA, Washington and Washington State.
ESPN believes that he possesses, "a sneaky extra gear... good feel as a zone runner... the ability to exploit smaller creases... very good balance and body control... naturally good leverage and a strong lower base."
Anderson, along with Northwestern's other ungraded commitments, will be included as part of ESPN's next rankings update. The Wildcats have eight verbals at this time.

Whether it is because of his early commitment to Arizona State, his more high-profile teammates boasting offers from the likes of Alabama and USC or his small frame, athlete Jaleel Wadood (Bellflower, Calif./St. John Bosco) has spent much of the spring under the radar.
After an early commitment to the Sun Devils -- where his brother Rashad is a defensive back -- the younger Wadood has received increased interest from programs throughout the West. Oregon is one of those programs and the Ducks were a childhood favorite of the versatile Wadood. In fact, Wadood is the only one of the Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco stars to hold an offer from the Ducks.

Arizona State landed a commitment from 6-foot-2, 240-pound defensive end Korey Rush (Salt Lake City/East), according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
He also holds scholarship offers from Ole Miss, Utah State and Weber State and received interest from Brigham Young, Clemson, Colorado, Illinois, Stanford and Utah, among others.
"I've always had the feeling about Arizona State and didn't see the point about waiting anymore," he said. "People have been asking me, 'If someone bigger comes along, would I reconsider?' My answer is no. I wasn't just going to jump the gun if I wasn't sure."
Rushed, who had 14.5 sacks during his junior season, is commitment No. 3 for the Sun Devils.

Interest increasing in Alemany safety duo

Erik McKinney | ESPN.com
Mission Hills (Calif.) Alemany is always going to feature an exciting offense under head coach Dean Herrington. Last season, the Warriors scored more than 27 points in every game and averaged nearly 43 points per contest. This season, the Warriors will need to find a new quarterback as well as replace dynamic receivers Steven Mitchell and Devin Ross, who signed with USC and Colorado, respectively.
But it's on the other side of the ball where Alemany could get a boost, with a senior safety tandem as productive as any in the region.

By RecruitingNation | ESPN.com
Dual-threat quarterback William Ulmer (Washington/St. John's College) committed Thursday to sign with Maryland, according to multiple sources.
He selected the Terps over scholarship offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Boston College, Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Marshall, Miami (Fla.), Michigan State, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Rutgers, South Florida, Southern Miss, Syracuse, Temple, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Other programs, including Ohio State, Oregon and South Carolina, also recruited the 6-foot-1, 190-pound prospect.
Ulmer passed and rushed for more than 1,000 yards while accounting for 25 total touchdowns last season.
He joins three-star offensive guard Jared Cohen (Owings Mills, Md./McDonough) on Maryland's 2014 commit list. Ulmer will be part of ESPN RecruitingNation's next rankings update.
Several California tailbacks have pulled away from the pack as the top running back targets in the state and Demario Richard (Palmdale, Calif./Palmdale) is using a very strong spring to join them.
After picking up an offer from Oregon earlier this month, Richard added another big Pac-12 offer on Wednesday morning, when he spoke with Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian.

Sam Khan Jr. | ESPN.com
Kyler Murray's sophomore year has been eventful, to say the least.
The Allen (Texas) High School quarterback led his team to a Texas Class 5A Division I state championship and has seen several schools begin to pursue him in recruiting. To date, the 2015 prospect has five scholarship offers.
In addition, he's in the middle of a baseball season, with his Allen team sitting in first place in its district on the doorstep of the state playoffs as of Monday. Though an accomplished quarterback, Murray has also been successful on the diamond, hitting .372 with 20 stolen bases this season for the Eagles while manning second base.
It's been quite a year for Murray.

While many of the recruits in attendance at Texas A&M's spring game this past weekend were in-state standouts, a trio of talented players from Arizona flew out to get an up-close look at Kevin Sumlin's program.
Two ESPN Watch List prospects -- quarterback Kyle Allen (Scottsdale, Ariz./Desert Mountain) and defensive end Qualen Cunningham (Chandler, Ariz./Hamilton) -- along with 2015 wide receiver Christian Kirk (Scottsdale, Ariz./Saguaro) made the trip and, according to Kirk, came away very impressed.

While the RecruitingNation Top 10 from the B2G 7v7 Elite 16 Tournament featured the top performers from the weekend, there were plenty of other players who put together big weekends and find themselves on the recruiting boards of Pac-12 programs.
Quinn Smith
2014, Carlsbad (Calif.) La Costa Canyon |TE| 6-foot-5, 235 pounds
Smith jumped out simply based on his size, but the big tight end also showed why programs across the country have him on their radar. He holds an FCS offer from Eastern Illinois, but it might not be long before he breaks into the FBS ranks. His father attended Arizona and the Wildcats, who have expressed serious interest, would become the prohibitive favorite if an offer was extended. Smith also has heard from Air Force, Boise State, Colorado, Colorado State, Michigan, Nebraska, Stanford, UCLA, Washington, Washington State and Wisconsin. He plans to camp this summer at Stanford, and said both the Cardinal and Bruins are waiting for his SAT score to come in before discussing an offer. However it's unlikely that Smith, who sports a 4.3 GPA, will be tripped up by academics while working to get to the next level.
