The size and speed would be pretty good for CB also which is how Scout has him listed.

USF adds “The American Dreamâ€Â

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.

Butler averaged 7.7 yards a carry as a senior, rushing for 1,928 yards and 25 TDs, including 439 yards on 31 carries in a 56-13 victory against Baker. Butler said he was aware that USF added former Sarasota RB Mike Ford Friday. “It doesn’t matter,†Butler said. “It just means I have to compete.â€Â

Butler said he got the nickname “The American Dream†as an eighth-grader. Butler said he was in a store shopping with his mother and saw a shirt on the floor that said “I’m the American Dream.†“My mom picked it up and said I should be the American Dream,†Butler said. “I told her I will be the American Dream one day.â€Â

So Butler wore the shirt to the first day of classes his freshman year in high school. “The upperclassmen were like take that shirt off, you’re not the American Dream. But I never doubted myself. It worked out just fine.†Butler said he also wore the shirt to the first day of school his sophomore, junior and senior years in high school and plans to wear it his first day of school at USF this fall.

Bogan was scheduled to visit UAB next weekend, but he said he will cancel the visit. “I like the school a lot, I like Tampa, the area and the academics,†said Bogan, who had 28 receptions for 451 yards and three TDs as a senior. He also had five interceptions as a defensive back and even rushed for nearly 300 yards while playing sparingly as a quarterbac
