Five-star defensive end Byron Cowart of Seffner (Fla.) Armwood is down to Auburn and Florida, ESPN.com reported Thursday.
"I would have to say, just to be honest, Auburn and Florida are my top two schools," Cowart told ESPN.com's Derek Tyson,. "I have to keep it professional -- I have to. Who knows, you see coaches and they go into the league, and when its time for you to get drafted you dont want to have a bad name."
He added, "Right now, truly, it will come down to Auburn and Florida. Thats just being honest."
Cowart, the No. 3 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite, officially visited the Tigers last weekend and they were expected to visit him Thursday.
Florida State was the other team that figured to be in his top group, but a scheduled Jan. 30 visit to Tallahassee, Fla., is now up in the air.
Cowart will officially visit the Gators this weekend.
