Yeah and the orlando daytona area is a decent region for football but no where near as good as Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa/Lakeland area, or even the panhandle which pumps out a ton of quality players.

USF never took Allen's verbal.  They are higher on several other DTs.

Mike Lanaris on 2d team LB is also verballed to USF.
