A group of high school kids created a fake Twitter profile for a fictional Tennessee high school offensive lineman they named Blake Carringer. That Carringer profile would occasionally tweet out that he’d been “blessed to receive” an offer from a school here and there, and those offers included school like Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.
It didn’t take long from there for recruiting service sites like Rivals to create a profile the 6-6 315 pound fictional prospect, which listed him as a 3-star prospect.
