It is a busy time on the recruiting trail as schools are trying to close out their classes as the countdown to signing day has literally begun. Over the last week there has been a lot of news as far as visits and commits are concerned.





Michigan landed three-star safety J.T. Floyd from Greenville, South Carolina. Floyd could compete right away as defensive back is a position of need for the Wolverines.

"I'm 100% committed to Michigan!" Floyd told GoBlueWolverine.com Floyd informed the coaches that were recruiting him on Tuesday night. Those schools were N.C. State, Georgia Tech and Tennessee.

The decision to attend Michigan was the opportunity to play right away at multiple positions. "Coach Gibson told me that they are going to let me compete at the safety and cornerback positions." The J.L. Mann star said.






John Youboty
Marshall head coach Mark Snyder continued an impressive haul for the recruiting class of 2008 with the commitment of three-star defensive end John Youboty on Wednesday.

With a week to go before signing day, Marshall is having what might turnout to be one of their best recruiting classes of all-time. The Klein, Texas native, Youboty is 6-foot-4, 246-pounds and chose Marshall over Louisville, Cal and Nebraska. His older brother, Ashton, played for Snyder during his time as defensive coordinator at Ohio State. He is now a defensive back with the Buffalo Bills.





No more Devoe, at least not for the Ohio State Buckeyes. As we mentioned several months ago that with the rumors and speculation running around about the off the field issues of Massillon (Ohio) Washington running back Devoe Torrence and that they could eventually cost him his spot with the Buckeyes.

The rumors have been put to rest as multiple media outlets have reported that the Buckeyes have pulled their scholarship offer to the former Canton South star.






Kenny Tate
Illinois has had there way recently in the Md/DC area, but the Maryland Terrapins are getting the big fish as Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha wide receiver Kenny Tate is expected to make a public announcement today that he will choose the Terps over the Illini.
