On the roster now are junior converted defensive end Clay Burton, junior converted defensive end Tevin Westbrook, sophomore Kent Taylor and redshirt freshman Colin Thompson, who is coming off an injury. Florida hopes to have filled its tight end need for the 2014 recruiting cycle Thursday with an emerging talent who just happens to be teammates with one of the elite talents in the country.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/southeast/post/_/id/19813/gators-add-sleeper-te-commitment Thu, 23 May 2013 23:23:27 EDT 19813 DALLAS -- At 6-foot-6 and 295 pounds, three-star offensive tackle Jovan Pruitt (Dallas/Bishop Dunne) is a physical specimen. He’s also someone who is taking his recruiting process seriously. Don't ask him about favorites -- there are none. Reason being, Pruitt said he’s sold on doing his research and making some visits before he puts a program near the top of his list. He’s nearing 20 FBS offers, including Florida, Missouri, Ole Miss, Iowa and defending BCS national champion Alabama.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/southeast/post?id=19812 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:51:50 EDT 19812 Christian Miller (Spring Valley, S.C./Spring Valley) does not feel like he rushed into his decision when he committed to Florida in February. He does, however, admit it might have been wise to see a few more places. While Miller felt comfortable being part of the Gators’ 2014 class, he did not want any regrets about the decision. The decision to decommit came after being upfront with Florida coaches about his desires. That is not to say Miller, the No.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/southeast/post?id=19811 Thu, 23 May 2013 16:30:08 EDT 19811 TYLER, Texas -- There was no denying 2015 quarterback Blake Lynch (Troup, Texas/Troup) during Sunday’s East Texas Sports Network Combine. Despite having a stomach virus, Lynch not only competed in the combine but also left the APEC training facility with the quarterbacks MVP award. It’s that level of determination -- in addition to his actual skill set on the football field -- that makes Lynch an interesting recruiting target. Wednesday evening, Lynch scored his first offer from Mississippi State, an offer many feel will be the first of many.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/southeast/post?id=19810 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:34:55 EDT 19810 The plans for Indianapolis Pike receiver Dominique Booth are changing again. The four-star Booth announced this past weekend he would commit Friday, but that is no longer the case. The No. 24 receiver in the country will not make a commitment this week. “We just got out of a conversation, and my plan was to drill him with questions this week,” Booth’s father, Mark, said, “and if I didn’t get the answers I felt were the right answers, then I thought we should wait and make sure.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/southeast/post?id=19809 Thu, 23 May 2013 09:21:02 EDT 19809 Oklahoma came first for kicker Aaron Medley (Lewisburg, Tenn./Marshall County). Texas A&M followed with an offer on Monday. But when Tennessee offered Tuesday night, it felt like the countdown had begun. Nobody had to wait that long as Medley committed to the Volunteers on Wednesday afternoon. “Whew. This has been a great day,” Medley said. “I wanted to talk things over with my family and make sure. This is a dream come true.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/southeast/post?id=19806 Wed, 22 May 2013 19:22:11 EDT 19806 Two days after adding versatile in-state running back C.J. Fuller (Easley, S.C./Easley), Clemson has received a commitment from another multifaceted athlete, this time from the Peach State. Four-star prospect Adam Choice (Thomasville, Ga./Thomas County Central) ran for 1,650 yards rand 23 touchdowns his junior season and had 1,600 rushing yards rushing and 19 touchdowns as a sophomore but did his damage running the option at quarterback. The 5-foot-9, 198-pound Choice is also a standout baseball player.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/southeast/post/_/id/19793/the-choice-is-in-for-four-star-rb Wed, 22 May 2013 16:19:30 EDT 19793 With his announcement set for Friday, four-star wide receiver Dominique Booth (Indianpolis/Pike) trimmed his list one more time this week. Four schools remain -- Alabama, Florida State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Booth will make his choice Friday at 4 p.m. ET during a ceremony at his high school. He says he already has a good idea of where he’s headed. He’s just ready to make it public. “I’m real excited,” Booth said.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/southeast/post?id=19797 Wed, 22 May 2013 15:19:20 EDT 19797 If you know ESPN 150 offensive tackle Roderick Johnson (Florissant, Mo./Hazelwood Central), then you know that nothing tends to bother him. Not the stress of being the No. 2 player in the state of Missouri. Not being a four-star athlete. Not even his recruiting process -- one that seems to remix every day. As he nears 20 offers, Johnson said he’s still having a good time with recruiting and refuses to overstress himself with the ongoing process.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/southeast/post?id=19796 Wed, 22 May 2013 15:03:15 EDT 19796 Larry Fedora and his staff at North Carolina continue to build recruiting momentum in the 2014 class. After picking up four commitments in April, including ESPN 150 quarterback Caleb Henderson (Burke, Va./Lake Braddock), the Tar Heels have reeled in one of the top offensive playmakers in the Sunshine State, running back D'Ernest Johnson (Immokalee, Fla./Immokalee). "I committed to North Carolina," Johnson said. "It was just the coaching staff. All of the coaches have been showing me a lot of love.]]> http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/southeast/post?id=19788 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:47:20 EDT 19788
