Montgomery Bell Academy of Nashville has one of the more impressive teams in the state of Tennessee. Fans definitely get their fill of star power with the Big Red as they possess senior tight end Jordan Wilson, who has committed to UCLA, as well as dynamic junior running back Ty Chandler, who will have unlimited scholarship options.

But when one sits in the bleachers and watches the team warm-up, the first thing they might notice is cavernous left tackle Joseph Scowden. At 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, Scowden is often the biggest player on the field by a large stretch. Combine that with a 3.38 grade point average and a 29 ACT, it's no surprise that he is starting to get his fair share of college interest.

Scowden is active for an individual his size. He constantly drives defensive linemen down the field and can also be seen at times clearing the edge and taking out a cornerback. He also takes good angles, turning his opponent away from the hole.

Scowden plans on getting his major in either Political Science or Business Administration.

The Class of 2016 prospect has offers on the table from Richmond and Columbia, as well as "heavy interest" from Princeton and Yale, and communication with Vanderbilt and Memphis.

"Memphis invited me and I went of junior day," Scowden told Tiger Sports Report. "I've kept communication with them. They are having a great season right now. They are a fantastic team, and I'd love to be part of their organization."

Scowden says he speaks with the Offensive Line Coach Vance Vice.

"They tell me they like me a lot. I've been sending them some film. They like my film from this season so far, and they also liked they film they saw of me from last year. Hopefully, we can keep that relationship going."

Meanwhile, Scowden's focus is on MBA finishing the 2015 season strong.

"We are going to work extremely hard. We'll prove those who say we can't win the state wrong. We are going to work our tails off."

Scowden isn't sure how the recruiting process will play out, but he definitely isn't going to let it interfere with the business at hand at Montgomery Bell Academy.

"Maybe we can get a commitment done sooner than later, so I can focus on the season, the team, and our family. I'll just let the recruiting part play out."
