Now, he’s healthy and doing well.â€Hockman anticipates that Amichia will likely redshirt his first season to adjust to the college game, and to add muscle to his 6-foot-3, 263-pound frame. He’s already gained significant muscle weight from his junior season. “I was about 225, 230 last year,†Amichia said.One of the selling points Amichia took from South Florida was the school’s persistence following his injury. The Bulls’ coaching staff seemed to have already known what they would be getting in locking up Amichia.That alone made Amichia’s college decision an easy one, and now he can focus on McEachern’s upcoming season.“I’m really happy knowing that I can go to college for free,†Amichia said. “My parents won’t have to be stressed out about that.“When I hurt (my arm), it wasn’t major. (South Florida) knew it was a little injury, and it didn’t backfire on me that much. They were always checking on me all the time. That’s what I liked about them.â€In getting Amichia to commit, South Florida may be getting a few quality assets. He was only responsible for one opposing sack last year in the 12 games that he started for McEachern. He also excelled at protecting Trent Thompson’s blind side and opening up McEachern’s ground attack.Amichia helped the Indians finish with a 10-2 record, as well as an undefeated region mark for the second straight season. http://mdjonline.com/view/full_story_sports/14893079/article-No-bull--Amichia-commits-to-play-at%E2%80%88South-Florida?instance=special%20_coverage_right_columnHe is #65 on Rivals Georgia top 75.http://rivals.yahoo.com/UGA/football/recruiting/rankings/rank-2866 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 25 players in the games are projected to play FCS football at the next level, and here are some who stood out at the Dome.McEachern vs North GwinnettKofi Amichia: Amichia, a USF commitment, was very impressive in the win over North Gwinnett. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound lineman showed very good feet and was able to buy time for Trent Thompson to make plays for the Indians. He has the size and athleticism to play any position on the offensive line at the next level, and is a great get for the Bulls.http://usf.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1254572 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
