    Thomas County (Ga.) Central WR/DB Dontavia Bogan and Fort Myers Cypress Lake RB Tyson “The American Dream†Butler verbally committed to the University of South Florida Sunday. Bogan (6-1, 185), who also considered UAB, said he will be used at wide receiver. Butler (5-11, 175) said he also considered Pittsburgh and UCF.

He also had five interceptions as a defensive back and even rushed for nearly 300 yards while playing sparingly as a quarterbac
