Analysis: Quinton is a hard working player that loves the game of football. He is a run-stopper that can quickly fill the gap and punish ball carriers. He plays with focused intensity. Quinton has a natural play reading abilities. He uses this talent to consistently be in the right spot to make big plays. He is a powerful LB that can be challenge for opposing lineman that are attempting to block him. His power is derived from his focus on off-season weight training and conditioning. Quinton’s strongest point is attacking the line of scrimmage and getting into the backfield. He isn’t the type of LB that will be able to go deep into coverage due to having average speed for his position. What he lacks in speed he more than makes up for in rushing abilities and hard-hitting. With Quinton on the field, opposing quarterbacks are forced to speed up their plays to avoid getting pressured or sacked. Quinton is just recently starting to step onto the scene. He had a strong performance at last weekends Badger 7-7 and won’t be long before more people take notice of this intense football player.

Have we ever offered this many kids from Jersey in one class before?
Class of 2011 linebacker Quinton Alston has a dozen scholarship offers. Iowa, Boston College, Duke, Louisville, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Temple, Villanova, East Carolina, Old Dominion and Indiana all have offered the 6-1, 223-pounder. He had 80 tackles, including 12 for loss, and four sacks this past season. He also saw some time at fullback and tight end.
"I take control of the defense," Alston said. "I make sure everybody is where they are supposed to be. I set up plays for the guys around me and overall try to be a leader on the field and act as a big brother during the game, so I can get these younger guys better."
There are three "younger guys" in particular that have a chance to be Division I prospects.
In the 2012 class, Alston's fellow linebacker, Quanzell Lambert could end up being one of the most heavily recruited prospects in the Garden State next year. Lambert is a 6-3, 230-pounder that started on the varsity squad as a sophomore and registered 64 tackles, four for loss, one forced fumble and a pass deflection last season.
"I show dedication on the field and keep my head up," Lambert said. "Whenever a teammate is down, I try to encourage them. They have to stay in the game. It's a competitive sport, but you can't always go out there cocky."
Timber Creek also has two promising prospects in the 2013 class. Defensive end/wide receiver Dajaun Drennon and quarterback Myles Nash both were praised by coach Robert Hinson.
However, Hinson is perhaps the most proud of the fact all five of his top prospects are taking care of business in the classroom.
"They are all 2.5 grade point average or higher," he said.

Just a few months ago Quinton Alston was working hard to better his game. In Feb he was at the Rivals Premiere Invitational at Rutgers University and held one offer from Old Dominion. Quinton felt blessed for his offer and continued to stay focused and work hard.
Just two months later his tenacious work ethic has helped him garner 15 offers. His latest offer from Middle Tennessee State just came in today (20 April). The Blue Raiders have some great schools to compete with but Quinton will be looking at each school in depth.
Quinton plans on deciding on his college destination in late August so he can focus on his senior season. As a senior he is going to be an instrumental part of Timber Creek's defense as they hope to return to the State Championship game.
