The full first day of Urban Meyer’s Football Camp and came away impressed with some prospects we have seen before and a few new prospects that really put on a show. Here is a look at our top 10 campers from the first day of camp which specialized in linemen.
1. In my opinion, the top performer of the day was 2011 prospect DT Tim Jernigan; City (FL) Columbia County HS. Jernigan is a hulking 6-3, 295-pound defensive tackle that actually played a lot at defensive end today. He was the top performer at Friday Night Lights last year and is only going into his junior year here in 2009. The school uniforms look like LSU, but Jernigan was wearing a Gator hat when not on the field at the camp.
2. S/WR Jonathan Dowling; Bradenton (FL) Southeast HS has size, speed, and agility to be a top notch defender, but he showed some big time talent as a receiver on Monday. He is too hard to handle for most DB’s because of his size and then blows by most of them anyway because of his speed and quickness. This Gator commitment could end up being a big time receiver in the future instead of a safety.
3. WR Darius Millines; Delray Beach (FL) American Heritage HS just got an offer last week from the Gators and there is little doubt in my mind that he could commit on the spot if he wanted to. One parent in attendance at the camp told me they heard a Gator coach tell Millines’ coach they would take him this second if he wanted to. He is extremely quick, fast and has pretty good size. He was the biggest surprise to me and I am just about to say I would be shocked if he isn’t in the class.
4. Michael McFarland; Tampa (FL) Blake HS is still growing into his body which is huge and needs more muscle, but he has a big time future ahead of him and is already very good. He is a legitimate 6-6 and can separate with his long strides. He has big hands and just has to mature as a pass catching tight end, which is coming fast for this young man. He will be at camp until Wednesday.
5. WR Ace Sanders; Bradenton (FL) Manatee was the quickest player at camp. He is Brandon James with a little less weight) and probably a little more speed. This guy was told they like him in the Brandon James mold and he lists Florida, Clemson, and West Virginia as his favorite at the moment. Nobody could corral this guy and he always made space instantaneously when he needed to. I think this one will be recruited hard through the whole process because I think he will be a very special player wherever he ends up.
6. DT Louis Nix; Jacksonville (FL) Raines HS showed some quickness he lacked as a junior. Nix is big and powerful, but he now uses his quickness to gain a little leverage and then over power his opponent with that leverage. I really liked the way he played on Monday and I know Coach McCarney was equally impressed by the way he talked to and about him with the other prospects.
7. Jamius Gunsby; LaGrange (GA) has a big arm and can hit most of the throws in this offense. He has good size to him, but isn’t a big quarterback. He is very athletic and seemed to catch on rather quickly. I think he has probably moved ahead of all the other uncommitted quarterback prospects on the board at least until they get a personal look at Jesse Scroggins.
8. WR Jalen Saunders; Elk Grove (CA) Pleasant Grove HS is quite the unknown prospect and my California sources never heard of the kid either. He has lightning quick feet and I guess is a bit like Sanders, but I believe Sanders has a bit more bulk to him. The Gators are in on quite a few of these guys, but this is one that would fit in my opinion.
9. Demetre Baker; Orange Park (FL) Orange Park HS is a well put together prospect that runs very well for a linebacker. He needs a little work on his lower body, but has excellent burst and speed as we watched him break up quite a few passes in the middle of the field. He is definitely an option down the road if the Gators feel like they need a linebacker in the class.
10. Terrence Brooks, Dunnellon (FL) Dunnellon HS seemed like the only one ion the morning session that could keep up with Dowling and challenge the big receiver. Brooks broke up two long passes when Dowling got past him and then Brooks ran him down to tap the ball away at the last minute.
Others of note…
QB Marcus Smith; Columbus (GA) Hardaway HS – had some very good throws and seems to have the strength to hit anything. He does lack consistency, but the Gators should have time to mature a quarterback like Smith if they do make a move on him.
WR Michael Bennett; Alpharetta (GA) is one I really like and have liked since I saw him at a combine in Jacksonville back in March. He has good speed, is 6-3, and excellent body control and good ball skills.
WR Brandon Terry; Alpharetta (GA) is bigger than Bennett but isn’t quite as fast and doesn’t have the body control of Bennett. Still, he is a legitimate 6-5 and has good speed and neither of that is coachable.
WR Khary Franklin; Valdosta (GA) Lowndes HS was another small shifty receiver that performed very well on Monday.
TE Jonathan Garcia Cape Coral (FL) Ida Baker HS is evidently one that has impressed and one we will have to look for in the future.
DE Tavaris Barnes; Jacksonville (FL) First Coast HS has speed and size to be an elite player. He just needs to mix it up a bit more.
Punter Joe Mansour; LaGrange (GA) made a big impression on Urban Meyer or so it seemed with his punting. He wasn’t nearly consistent enough, but on about every fourth punt he let off 60-plus yard bombs. I remember Chas Henry not being that consistent either when he came to camp as a rising senior and now he is an All-American type punter.

Lakota West High junior TE Alex Smith said this morning, June 9, that he will reopen his recruiting process.
Smith (6-5, 250) committed to the University of Cincinnati a couple months ago, but with recent offers from LSU, North Carolina, Miami (Fla.) and others, he felt the need to open it up again to a few schools.
He has visited UC, Kentucky and Michigan, and plans to take more visits this summer.

Recruiter of the week: Missouri's Cornell Ford
Ford, who is Missouri's cornerback coach, got four-star wide receiver Jimmie Hunt of Cahokia (Ill.) High to commit to the Tigers over the weekend. Cahokia coach Antwyne Golliday said Ford is a big reason Hunt committed to the Tigers.
Jimmie Hunt was a big get for the Tigers.
"Coach Ford did a tremendous job recruiting Jimmie," Golliday said. "He made sure to put their academics on top, which was an important factor for Jimmie. Coach Ford made it clear that a really high percentage of football players get their degrees, and that was something that Jimmie really liked to hear about.
"It also doesn't hurt that they've had some great receivers the past few years, and the way that Coach Ford and the offensive coaches showed Jimmie how he could be used in their system proved to be a great fit."
Ford also has recruited another one of Missouri's top commitments in the 2010 class in three-star athlete Marquise Hill of St. Louis Trinity Catholic. Ford is also heavily involved in the Tigers' efforts to reel in blue-chip offensive linemen Nick Demien of Wentzville (Mo.)

While some of the big names made took off after Monday's session of Urban Meyer Football Camp, some notable prospects took part in Tuesday's action on the Sanders Practice Fields on the campus of the University of Florida.
Highly-regarded defensive lineman prospect Tavaris Barnes (6-4, 250, Jacksonville, FL First Coast) spent most of the day working out with the linebackers, which certainly was kind of interesting. Barnes does not strike anyone as the type of player who will play standing up in college, but he certainly displayed good athleticism taking part in drills, showing why a number of big-time schools are pursuing him.
Another name to keep an eye on from the same area is tight end Neil Basford (6-5, 230, Jacksonville, FL Bishop Kenny) received a lot of instruction and attention from the coaches during the morning session of camp. Basford is a prospect starting to move up a lot of boards. He recently received an offer from Florida State. He is a very solid threat in the passing game, showing good athletic ability, reliable hands and the potential to put on a lot of weight.
Florida commitment Michael McFarland (6-5, 230, Tampa Blake) is another name that continues to come up time and time again here at camp. He is one of the most physically impressive prospects in attendance, showing all week the athletic ability and big-play potential that caught the eye of Dan McCarney (who recruits the Tampa area) and Brian White (tight ends coach) very early in the process. Florida was in on McFarland ahead of everybody else, which is why the Gators landed possibly the top tight end prospect in the state before he even hit the radar.
While Jonathan Dowling (6-3, 180, Bradenton, FL Southeast) did not participate in drills on Tuesday, I was advised that he is still on campus. He worked out at wide receiver yesterday, and looked like a very viable option on offense if the Gators decide to go that route with him. I was also advised that defensive end T.J. Stripling (6-5, 205, Decatur, GA Southwest Dekalb) was scheduled to arrive on campus on Tuesday evening, although he was not in attendance for the final camp session of the day.
WHAT NOW AT WIDE RECEIVER?: The impending commitment of Solomon Patton (5-10, 170, Mobile, AL Murphy) brings with it a lot of excitement to Gator fans who have been waiting patiently for Florida to get on the board with a wide receiver in this recruiting class. However, the commitment of Da’Rick Rodgers (6-3, 205, Calhoun, GA) to the dreaded Georgia Bulldogs put a bit of a damper on the festivities this afternoon. There has been a lot of talk as to what direction the Gators will go in to add some much needed size to a WR corps that will use up the remaining eligibility of the only three receivers on the roster who stand over 6-1 following the 2009 season. The loss of Rogers has only fueled the speculation as to what direction Florida will now be forced to go in.
At this point, the name to really keep an eye on is Justin McCay (6-4, 205, Shawnee, KS Bishop Miege) who will make a visit to Gainesville for Friday Night Lights in July. He doesn’t have the same type of speed as Da’Rick Rogers, but is a bigger and more physical presence who could potentially bring a Larry Fitzgerald-type of weapon to any offense he is a part of on the college level.
Darius White (6-4, 205, Ft. Worth Dunbar) has also been mentioned as a possibility, but with his desire to potentially play alongside some of his high school teammates on the next level, seems to be a bit more of a long shot in this class.
Two more receivers that have been pursued to date but should see even more attention from the Florida staff in the wake of Rogers commitment, are Ivan McCartney (6-2, 170, Miramar, FL) and Quinton Dunbar (6-2, 170, Miami, FL Booker T. Washington). Neither really bring a big, physical presence to the mix at receiver. However, both are long and rangy targets with a lot of speed and either of whom would certainly add a different type of target to the mix with a potential commitment to Florida. Dunbar has previously listed the Gators near the top of his list, as has McCartney who visited Gainesville for the Orange & Blue Debut.
The last name to keep in mind is the receiver whose announcement today started the debate on what direction Florida will have to go in to take a big receiver in the 2010 class – Da’Rick Rogers. The Peach State star never took a visit to Gainesville, and never had the resources to just saunter on down to Gainesville on his own dime because of his situation. The father of Nash Nance handled the majority of Rogers’ commitment, and the thought process is that if somehow Rogers can be persuaded to come down to the University of Florida at some point there is always a chance. While Rogers now seems to be a bit of a long shot, I wouldn’t bet against the Gators trying to steal him away from the Bulldogs between now and National Signing Day. Perhaps a late official visit could potentially seal the deal? Only time will tell in regard to that matter.

2010 Standouts From Florida's Recent Camp
Jonathan Dowling - The Nationals #2 Safety Prospect and #52 Overall Prospect is well known for his skills as a defender, but the Florida commit absolutely shinned as a WR at the Gator's Camp. Dowling has the size, speed and quickness to be an outstanding WR in college.
Terrance Brooks - Really the only DB at camp that could challenge Dowling. The Dunnellion, FL was the best CB on the field. The Gators have not offered yet, but Brooks does sport offers from both FSU and Miami.
Darius Millines - The fast rising prospect out of Delray Beach, FL had an outstanding camp and showed a great combination of speed, quickness and athleticism. Word is the Gators would without question take a committment from Millines and I would expect this to happen and Millines to be a Gator in the future.
Ace Sanders - The speedy WR out of Bradenton, FL had a knack for creating space and was clearly the quickest player on the field. Size is Sanders biggest limitation as Sanders measures in at a palty 5'9". None of the in-state schools have offered yet, but Sanders is a prospect to watch in the coming months.
Jalen Saunders - The Elk Grove, CA WR is another small WR that impressed at the Gators Camp. A lot like the aforementioned Sanders. Right now Saunders only sports a few offers from mid-majors, but could be a prospect to watch in the future.
Michael McFarland - The Gator commit out of Tampa, FL passed the eye test. The 6'6" is still growing into his body, but has the speed and athleticism to turn into a prototypical NFL TE. McFarland committed to the Gators on Tuesday.
Jamius Gunsby - The LaGrange, GA gunslinger really impressed the Gator coaches with his arm-strength and accuracy. He also has good size, but needs to take on some more weight. No schools have stepped up to offer Gunsby, but his stock rose in the Gator Coaches eyes with his performance at camp. Gunsby will head up to camp at UGA.
Demetre Baker - The OLB out of Orange Park, FL was the most impressive LB prospect at camp. A little small, but has a frame to grow and very good speed. Also appears to be advance for his age in coverage. Not on the offer board yet for the Gators, but could be a prospect the Gators could turn to if it is looking for an OLB down the road. A couple SEC schools have already stepped-up with offers.

The University of Miami received a surprise visit from a pair of top cornerback recruits on Saturday when St. Thomas Aquinas’ Keion Payne and Lamarcus Joyner dropped by to take a look at the school.
2009 Ohio St. recruit Jaamal Berry was arrested in Miami on Thursday and charged with felony marijuana possession of more than 28 grams.

Florida takes probably five receivers in this class. The favorite has to be Pahokee's Chris Dunkley, who is supposed to work out at Friday Night Lights in July. Kadron Boone has had Florida at the top for a while, and there's reason to believe that he's been a silent for a while as well. McDonough, Ga., Henry County's Markeith Ambles is another name to look out for. He's said for some time that Florida is one of his top schools and has been on campus a few times. Quinton Dunbar (Miami, Booker T. Washington) has Florida as his top school and has been pursued pretty hard by Florida's staff. A few other names include: Kenny Stills (Carlsbad, Cali., La Costa Canyon); Kenbrell Thompkins (Torrance, Cali., El Camino C.C.) and Ivan McCartney (Miramar). Look out for O.J. Ross as well. He was one of the top receivers this week at UF's camp.

Stephen Morris QB
The school to keep an eye on in Morris’s recruitment is the Florida Gators. Morris performed very well at the Gator’s camp last week, and new quarterback coach Scott Loeffler may extend an offer soon.
“At Florida, I did very well. I think I was one of the best quarterbacks out there. I threw in the Swamp a couple times in front of all the coaches, the head coach included. We worked out and did some drills with this other quarterback and Coach Loeffler said I had a really good chance of getting one. I just got to stay in tune with him and work out for him again.
“He told me to actually call him tomorrow night because they are having a recruiting meeting. They had one Friday and I think they are having another one Monday night, so I’m going to call him after that and see what’s happening.”
An offer from Florida would catapult the Gators near the top according to Morris.
“They would be ranked pretty high. It’s a good school, great location, not too far from Miami so my parents could come and watch the game. It’s a school my parents really like, I really like, great offensive fit. Florida just has a lot of speed man, coming from Miami I love that.”
