Last week, Brian Hartline was ranked as the No. 1 recruiter in the nation for the 2020 class by ESPN for grabbing commitments from four senior receivers ranked in the top-15 nationally.
In just his third year on the recruiting trail, Hartline is already making a case to crack that top-five list for a second straight year with one top-12 junior receiver on the way (Jayden Ballard), the No. 8 receiver leaning heavy to the Buckeyes (Marvin Harrison Jr.) and the country’s No. 1-rated athlete (Emeka Egbuka) still very much in play to join fellow Washingtonian Gee Scott Jr.
