Looks like we also stole a basketball player from Eckerd College:
Might be a project, but he sounds intriguing. He's about the same height and weight as Jimmy Graham, the TE for the Saints who also started out as a basketball player.
http://www.alligatorarmy.com/2013/2/7/3 ... recruitingLLate Wednesday, news broke that Trevon Young, a massive basketball player with only rudimentary football skills, had taken an official visit to Florida and was a candidate to become part of Florida's 2013 recruiting class. Now, on Thursday, multiple reports from various outlets have Young joining the Gators as Florida's 29th commit for the 2013 class. Young's from Braden River High School in Bradenton, and his high school coach has told reporters he will sign his National Letter of Intent on Friday.
When people write massive about Young, it might be an understatement: He's 6'6" and somewhere between 260 and 280 pounds, and though he's got virtually no profile as a football recruit, you can seen that he carries that size well in this video from 247Sports' Josh Newberg, taken last summer.
