Committed to Furman on July 11, choosing the Paladins over more than 15 offers, including FBS members, Georgia State, Bowling Green, Air Force, Army, UAB, and Kent State, and a three-time first team all-region and all-county selection.
A defensive star from Day #1 of 9th grade. @PaladinFootball is getting a extremely talented young man! @raleigh_herb https://t.co/eQ1dvVFWJF

His career stats are great as since a sophomore campaign he has been a true hard hitting ILB with a total of 32 games played, 144 solo tackles, 179 assisted tackles, 323 total tackles, and a average of 35.5 tackles for loss. Herbert will defiantly bring the energy to the Furman Paladin defense.

Raleigh is also the all-time leading tackler at West Forsyth finishing 1st team with 111 tackles, 14 tackles was for a loss handing out 5 sacks also, he also added six QB pressures while forcing 4 forced fumbles, a INT, and 4 pass break ups. He will give Furman a very versatile ILB to cover any style offense that Furman may encounter. The Future looks bright for the Furman defense with a ILB like Raleigh headed into to Paladin Stadium.
