S Demar Dorsey Visiting??


This "OMG Shirtless" recruit is mentioned as a visitor in a thread topic on the Scout premium board. I don't know when he's supposed to be visiting, but from everything I can find on the web, he is not very firmly committed to Florida. I suppose Matt Elam's recent commit to FL may have Dorsey looking around?

Here are his details:

Ht: 6-0 Wt: 175 40: 4.35
Position: S
Year: Class of 2010
High School: Boyd H. Anderson HS (Lauderdale Lakes, FL)
Ranking: 4 Stars on both Rivals and Scout, 5 Stars on ESPN
Pos Rank: Rivals #18, Scout #26, and ESPN #2

Found on the web:
He was supposed to visit Tenn before the Kiffin defection is now looking elsewhere, maybe FSU. Gatorsports Blog

Offers:
Florida
Florida State
Tennessee
North Carolina
Rutgers
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Miami (FL)

Looks like he could be a great visitor. It appears the staff has identified a weakness in our safety depth. It's nice to see that they noticed.

Go Blue!!

I was unaware he was labeled "the most-renowned coach."

His biography at the College Football Hall of Fame (South Bend, IN) calls him "American football's most-renowned coach." He was a native Norwegian, and was trained as a chemist at Notre Dame. He is credited with popularizing the use of the forward pass.

take some special recruiting to get this guy jazzed about the frozen tundra right about now. It is a disadvantage to have national signing day in the winter when you are in a cold, cold place. Maybe he watched UM smash IU last night? The fact that he could start as early as this year would be pretty enticing, though. I can't wait 'till this program is back on top of the Big Ten. Recruiting will be SO MUCH EASIER.

After seeing his picture, Dorsey was definitely the guy at the game last night. He was getting a a lot of attention, and appeared to be enjoying himself.

There was also a smokin' hot blonde girl around him towards the beginning. I'm not sure if she came up from Florida with him, or if she was his "taking care of him" for the night.

Dorsey is supposed to be visiting this weekend, apparently him and Gardner became friends at UAAB, and he was impressed with all the recognition Gardner got from the Michigan fans. It would be awesome if we could land Dorsey, he is a true center fielder at safety and it could allow us to bring a lot of blitzes and play closer to the line with another safety.

I hear he is related to someone on the Michigan team, maybe Tom would know.
