Washington-Marion's Joe Duhon commits to UL
Offensive linemen are a key in any recruiting group, and UL's football team has added one to its fold with its first commitment to the 2008 class.
Joe Duhon, a 6-foot-3, 290-pounder who has played all three offensive line positions for Washington-Marion High in Lake Charles, issued a verbal pledge to Ragin' Cajun coach Rickey Bustle Wednesday night.
"He's a dominant-type lineman," said Washington-Marion coach John Jenkins. "Last week against Wossman, we just kept running the ball behind him wherever he was."
Duhon, a three-time All-District 4-4A selection, earned coaches' Class 4A All-State honors last year even though the Charging Indians finished 4-6. He helped lead W-M to a hurricane-abbreviated 4-2 season and a district title as a sophomore in 2005, and the Indians are currently 3-0 this season.
Duhon is currently playing center after seeing time at tackle and guard in his first two seasons, and he's getting some personal tutoring in the position from former Cajun center Ronnie Harvey. A three-year UL letterman from 2002-04, Harvey is in his third year as an assistant coach at Washington-Marion.
