How Benedictine linebacker Third Scroggins has seen his recruiting interest skyrocket

Wearing his stylish glasses off the football field and basketball court, Herbert “Third” Scroggins of Benedictine has a kind of Clark Kent vibe, which he doubles down on by taking on the persona of Superman once the whistle sounds.

Power Five football recruiters have taken note of Scroggins natural gifts and ability and the 6-foot-3, 225-pound linebacker is racking up the offers. His ever-growing list includes Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia Tech, West Virginia, Miami, Cincinnati, USC, Texas A&M, North Carolina and Georgia Southern.

Scroggins was named a 4-star recruit in November and played with the style of a wrecking ball in his junior campaign with the Cadets with 84 tackles, including 10 for losses, with 12 sacks, 14 QB hurries and a pair of fumble recoveries to earn All-Greater Savannah first-team honors for the second year in a row.

His first offer came in January of 2023 from Georgia Southern, the alma mater of Benedictine coach Danny Britt, who was a linebacker and safety in his playing days for the Eagles — and the interest has heated up since his junior season ended.
