Fun Interview with Wesleyan Georgia RB Jordan Argilagos
Written by Ryan Wright
The proving grounds of the 2015 high school football season are quickly approaching and one of the many Class of 2016 players ready to showcase his talents is Wesleyan High School running back Jordan Argilagos.
Argilagos split time last year in the Wolves’ backfield but is expected to be the starter when the season begins. Despite limited touches the 5’10”, 180 pound, rising star still compiled 700 yards rushing, 100 receiving, and 11 total touchdowns on just 90 opportunities.
College recruiters have seen the emerging talent within Argilagos seeing Harvard, Columbia, and Dartmouth all extending offers. The offer total should raise with several other teams like Georgia Tech, Penn, Appalachian State, Citadel, and Furman all showing different levels of interest among others.
