Class of 2026 WR E'Shawn Sutton (FL) Flipped to CMU

[CuseMan4]

Agree on all points but his senior season stats per MaxPreps were 11 games with 29 tackles, 2 pass deflections and 5 INT's. So not exactly poor at the stat level. Offensivly he had 295 yds receiving and 2 TD's.

That doesn’t exactly scream P4, ACC level player stats to me. Winter Park is in a good league, but it’s no Miami, SE Florida league. Let’s be fair here. That’s a pretty poor senior season for an ACC level recruit

Every coach at the D1 level has done this. Idk what Fran said or how the phone call went. But every coach has dropped a kid whether it’s a poor senior season, injuries, new staff coming in, etc….this is nothing new. And let’s not act like he had a good senior season. He did not. There’s ways to go about dropping a kid. Once again idk what Fran did. Character wise I know Fran isn’t exactly the best/greatest sometimes so it wouldn’t be crazy if he said something bad.

I know there’s a few high schools that won’t let Fran talk to any of their kids….I think we can add Winter Park, FL to that list

As much as it sucks for the kid, I understand every coach has done this. Their job is to win football games. I do hope Fran learned from this and similar situations, so he doesn't burn more bridges at other high schools.

If you believe what was said in the Orlando Sentinel article, I think Sutton was an example of Fran learning that, as much as he wants to build a program through high school recruiting, he needs to allow more room for recruiting players in the portal. He can't offer as many scholarships to fliers like Sutton probably was. Pulling offers later on is only going to cause damaged relationships at more and more high schools.

Yes because people takes rivals recruiting very seriously
