Great pickup, with some serious offers on the table. Welcome to the Hilltop Elston, you've made the best decision of your life!
Will be a challenge to hold on to this kid, especially if Miami offers. Just remember, SMU is the real "U"...

Let's hope it sticks:
WR wowed Canes at his spring evaluation 05/10/2011 CaneSport.com After UM coaches watched him perform last week, this top local WR spoke with George McDonald on the phone and he now believes he'll land a Cane offer. So would he commit on the spot if and when Miami does offer? Don't miss this interesting news. Read on.

If he really is committed, it sounds like a nice addition.
A quick google search says he has offers from Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Northwestern, Southern, Syracuse, USC, Wake Forest, West Virginia and Western Michigan.
Didn't realize he had the USC offer. Lane Kiffin must be starting to hate us.
Hope this report is true!

If it just said USC it was more likely South Carolina since most of his offers seem to be more easterly.

Scout lists the actual USC as having offered.

As long as we are getting one recruit out of Gulliver Prep we should shop some of the other players as well. They have some awesome athletes walking around that campus.

On film, he looks like a faster (but still not blazing fast) version of a young Bobby Chase.
Also, I really dig the play at 1:20 into the first highlight video. We should add that.
