Carius Curne's high school coach isn't afraid to call his shot. “He is a top-10 NFL pick, if he realizes his potential, and he can do that at any of the schools he chooses,” Marion (Arkansas) High coach Lance Clark told Best of Arkansas Sports. The praise means a lot, especially since Curne didn't play football until the ninth grade and Clark said Curne was "raw" even as a sophomore. "He's long, so athletic," Clark told Arkansas Online. "I think he's a stud. I think he's going to be dominate. He's as good of an offensive lineman that I've seen since I've been coaching." Benton coach Brad Davis said he has seen enough of Curne to know he's a difference-maker. "He is big athletic guy that can play offensive line or defensive line, didn't play as much defensive line against us but you can tell he is very athletic and can move," Harris said. "As an O-lineman, if he got his hands on our defensive line guys, they were in trouble. He was really physical, and he would stay attached until the whistle blew."

Any comparison to such an accomplished NFL player is a lofty one, but Carius Curne's rare athleticism along the offensive line reminds us of Jason Peters. Both are similarly sized at the same stage and unique movers for the position along with being recruited as defensive linemen.
