Defensive end is USF's first '07 commitment

TAMPA -- USF picked up its first oral commitment for 2007 on Saturday as Lake Gibson defensive end Claude Davis told coach Jim Leavitt he'll sign with the Bulls in February.

"It's a great school with a lot of potential. They're bowl contenders every year now," said Davis, a 6-foot-4, 235-pound recruit who chose USF over offers from Florida, Louisville, Clemson and Iowa State. "It feels great to know where I'm going. It's a lot of weight off my shoulders."

As a junior, Davis had 96 tackles, including 14 sacks and seven forced fumbles. Davis committed Saturday morning as he participated in USF's senior showcase camp, which drew about 100 players, some from as far away as Texas and New Jersey. It's the second year in a row the Bulls have gotten an early commitment from Lake Gibson: last summer, quarterback Matt Grothe was USF's second.

This guy had offers from UF, Iowa, Clemson, Iowa St., and Pittsburgh among others.

Josh has more on him on his site and some pictures from today's camp.

This coming from the guy who was worried that we didn't have any commitments a couple of weeks ago.

They are a BCS school and have been recruiting FL, and the Tampa Bay Area very hard for many years.  Some of ISU's most prolific players in recent years have come out of FL so it should be no shock that they were on this kid early, but it looks like we beat them out again like we've done a lot in the past with guys like Ricky Ponton, Josh Balloon, and Ronnie McCollough among others.
