All-American games notebook

On Sunday the top prospects from all across the country reported to All-American games in San Antonio and Orlando.

Of Florida’s 24 verbal commitments, 11 of them reported to one of those two destinations on Sunday and another 11 of Florida’s top targets also reported.

In this notebook I’ll update some of the top news from the two check-ins from Sunday.

Ashburn (Va.) Briar Woods linebacker Matt Rolin will not be able to play in the Under Armour game due to a knee injury.

Orlando (Fla.) Dr. Phillips safety Marcell Harris is also doubtful to play in the Under Armour game due to a knee injury.

Jacksonville (Fla.) Bishop Kenny receiver Ahmad Fulwood will not be able to play in the U.S. Army All-American game due to a shoulder injury.

Tampa (Fla.) Hillsborough defensive Jordan Sherit will not be able to play in the U.S. Army All-American game due to a knee injury.

Here are some of the prospects and who they will be rooming with this week:

Seffner (Fla.) Armwood receiver Alvin Bailey and Seffner (Fla.) Armwood safety Leon McQuay will room together this week in Orlando.

Bushnell (Fla.) South Sumter safety Keanu Neal and Tampa (Fla.) Wharton cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III are rooming together in Orlando this week.

Avon (In.) High defensive end Elijah Daniel and New Lenox (Ill.) Lincoln-Way offensive lineman Colin McGovern are rooming together in Orlando this week.

Jacksonville (Fla.) Trinity Christian safety Nick Washington will be rooming with Yulee (Fla.) High running back Derrick Henry in San Antonio this week.

Vienna (Ga.) Dooly County defensive tackle Montravius Adams will be rooming with Alpharetta (Ga.) Milton defensive end Carl Lawson in Orlando this week.

Here are some other observations that Gator Country noticed today in Orlando.

Florida commitments Marcell Harris, Vernon Hargreaves III, Kelvin Taylor and Keanu Neal spent a lot of the day together hanging out.

Elijah Daniel was one of the best looking athletes in attendance today while Sandy Creek (Ga.) High cornerback Shaq Wiggins came in a little shorter than most have said it.
