Abstract Despite putting up ridiculous passing numbers, despite helping Florida receiver commitment Ryan Sousa and 2015 USF receiver commitment Deondre Farrier grab the attention of FBS coaches, Israel still had no offers. Cincinnati quarterbacks coach Darin Hinshaw, who played QB at UCF in the late 1990s, came to Orlando to see Israel's Lake Nona teammate Chris Ferguson, a senior lineman.
AbstractList Joining Francois in picking up tickets to Oregon this past weekend were Apopka offensive tackle Martez Ivey, Orlando Timber Creek running back Jacques Patrick, Orlando Lake Nona wide receiver Deondre Farrier and recent Winter Garden West Orange transfer running back Dexter Williams. Farrier's mother, Benita Foster, let out a shriek that could be heard all the way to Oregon when her son's name was announced as the wide receiver MVP of the camp.
To them, his message is simple: [...]I was in middle school, I thought I was the only one," Smith said of the things he had to endure. First Academy track and field coach Ricky Argro might know Smith better than any of his mentors.
[...]football is late to the party. Tyreke's exposure has been expedited by his ability to play varsity football at such a young age via the confined structure of a private-school setting.
Francois, the lone un-committed player of the trio, went through a coaching staff transition at Orlando Olympia this past season and his numbers showed, but the player I call "The Natural" will surely bounce back from a bumpy junior season. Sure, there are other strong quarterbacks in the state, including Torrance Gibson of Plantation American Heritage (a player I think is the No. 2 receiver in Florida, but he said he will play QB in college), Brad Mayes of Tampa Berkeley, Dwayne Lawson of Tampa Hillsborough, Brandon Ziarno of Melbourne Central Catholic, Christian Alexander of Lakeland Christian, Daniel Parr of Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer, Sage Atwood of Cape Coral Ida Baker or even big thrower Cody Long of Estero.
Fans of the school he chooses will love him, sure, but inevitably he will become the subject of hate from those lesser-minded individuals who think life revolves around their particular college football teams. Not only do fans pester him on social media and coaches constantly hound him to call, but media types are also in his face, and unlike college coaches, whose contact is limited by NCAA regulations, media members are not regulated.
May 13--Three years ago, Jalen Merrick had a dream, and if that dream had come true, college coaches like Mike Krzyzewski or Rick Pitino or Billy Donovan might be swinging by New Smyrna Beach High to check him out as a top recruit. New Smyrna Beach head football coach Lance Jenkins sums it up as well as anyone: "He's just one, big, agile, smart human being," Jenkins said.
Ferguson was thinking perhaps he could earn his way to a college scholarship on the basketball court. Ferguson could very well end up on the offensive line once he hits the college training table and weight program.
[...]only one school currently appears to be close, and Southern Illinois, a Football Championship Subdivision member, still has yet to pull the trigger. Simon has won linebacker MVP honors at four different camps or combines, including Sunday's NUC Showcase in Orlando.
Despite putting up ridiculous passing numbers, despite helping Florida receiver commitment Ryan Sousa and 2015 USF receiver commitment Deondre Farrier grab the attention of FBS coaches, Israel still had no offers. Cincinnati quarterbacks coach Darin Hinshaw, who played QB at UCF in the late 1990s, came to Orlando to see Israel's Lake Nona teammate Chris Ferguson, a senior lineman.
The only thing that slowed him down at all during his high school career was a torn ACL he suffered during a 7-on-7 tournament prior to his sophomore season. The problem is, kids like Lopes ... they're not even looking at them because they're done recruiting," Shifflet said, "It's a mistake because a lot of these kids had great senior years and they have no scholarships left, specifically at skill positions: receivers, running backs, linebackers.
Both players have major-college aspirations, and McCoy and Welch both figure with at least one of them getting an early offer, the two juniors are bound to attract more attention through the course of the 2015 recruiting period. South Lake head coach Marc Woolum knows he has two special players bookending one side of his offensive front.

Farrier's mother, Benita Foster, let out a shriek that could be heard all the way to Oregon when her son's name was announced as the wide receiver MVP of the Nike Football Training Camp.
Feb. 25--Hayden Griffitts brought up a good point Monday while speaking about the upcoming two-year Mormon missions he and his twin brother Kyle Griffitts will serve separately beginning this summer. Sure, it was hard to watch the tears rolling down their faces after Winter Park's Gabe McClary caught the touchdown pass that ended their high school careers in the first round of this past season's playoffs.
"When I was coming up, coaches really took pride in putting their name beside you," said Sanders, who most recently was serving as the football coach at Prime Prep Academy in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, the school he co-founded. [...]Sanders said his contact was "none whatsoever.
(For info go to odbowl.com) Miller joins fellow offensive linemen Luke Palmer of Wauchula, Chavis Dickey of Fort Valley, Ga., and athlete Mike Rogers of Smyrna, Ga., in the senior bowl event.
Monday was unofficial "USF Offer Day" for Central Florida athletes, and several college football prospects picked up scholarship offers from the Bulls. The effort, however, at least stirred up some attention for the struggling USF program, which fell on hard times during the final season of former head coach Skip Holtz's tenure.
A last-minute scramble got the planned party favors of shirts and hats on track, and Gooch eventually unveiled his choice of Indiana to the gathering of friends and family.
