National Signing Day for NCAA Football; Florida #1
|
Feb 3 2010, 7:02 AM
Florida has received verbal commitments from five five-star players in the ESPNU 150, including the top player, defensive end Ronald Powell of Moreno Valley, Calif. The Gators also have commitments from the top defensive tackle in the class, Dominique Easley of Staten Island, N.Y., (No. 3 in the rankings) and safety Jonathan Dowling of Bradenton, Fla. (No. 10 in the rankings).
National runner-up Texas has the No. 2 class in the ESPNU rankings, led by Jackson Jeffcoat, a defensive end from Plano, Texas, and the son of former Dallas Cowboy Jim Jeffcoat. The Longhorns also have signed Jordan Hicks, the top outside linebacker in the class from West Chester, Ohio.
Alabama, the defending national champ, has the No. 3 class which includes the nation's top quarterback, Phillip Sims of Chesapeake, Va.
Interesting to note that Urban Meyer's leave of absence has barely dented the Gators recruiting efforts. Florida also signed Matt Elam, the #9 player in the nation.
Rounding out the top five recruiting classes is Georgia, which ranked fourth despite no commitments from a top-10 player. Joining them in the nation's elite is Auburn, which picked up the top ranked running back in Michael Dyer.
