When Deiondre Porter’s coach told him that he had a scholarship offer from the University of Florida, Porter (6-0, 180, Tampa, FL Jefferson) thought his head coach was playing a joke on him. When he found out there was no joke, that the offer was real, Porter couldn’t contain his excitement.
“I was so excited about the offer that I was running down the hall and my pants fell off,” Porter said. “Even though they had a down season they are still Florida and a powerhouse. I don’t care how you put it they are good and they will be back up near the top very soon in my opinion. It’s good to finally get the SEC offer finally.”
Porter played quarterback at Jefferson, but he is being recruited as an athlete who could end up at quarterback, receiver or corner. It’s that athletic ability that led Florida coach Will Muschamp to offer Porter, who is currently committed to USF.
“Coach Muschamp called and offered me this morning,” Porter said. “He was saying that he was offering me a scholarship to Florida. He said that he liked my athleticism and my size. He said that I’m a dynamic player and I can be used at Florida in the offense as an athlete.”
Porter isn’t wasting any time in visiting Gainesville as he and his parents quickly set up a trip to visit Florida.
“The plan is to visit Florida this weekend with my parents,” Porter said. “It will either be with my dad and brother or with my mom, dad and my brother so it just depends on my mom.
Despite Porter taking a visit to Florida this weekend he says he’s still unsure on when he will make a final decision or even how the offer affects his commitment to South Florida.
“I’ll make my decision when the time is best and when it feels right,” Porter said. ““I really don’t know how this affects my commitment to USF right now though. I’m still trying to take everything in.”
Guess he must wear his pants around his drawers because I did not hear a commitment, just we will see.
