Will Clemson's newest commitment be a college all-American?
Junior safety Cortez Davis' coach at Dayton Beach Mainland High thinks it's a possibility. And he feels the same way about fellow Mainland standout Marlin Lane, a running back who picked the Tigers awhile back.
"They both could be all-Americans there by the time their time is done," said Mainland coach John Maronto. "They're that good."
Maronto said Clemson's offensive and defensive coaches all want Davis, who is 6-foot-5 and 180 pounds.
"He's a freakish guy; he's got great hands and a 40-inch vertical leap. He's a very good basketball player - some people around here thought he would be the next Vince Carter, but he realized his future is in football.
"He could be a special player."
How good is he? Davis started at safety as a freshman, and had seven interceptions. He had four more last year.
"Now people will just not throw it in his direction," Maronto said.
Independence and South Pointe players commit
Patriots safety/cornerback Jeremy Inglesi has committed to the Phoenix. Inglesi is 6-foot and 185 pounds, and his Independence position coach, Josh Kranish, thinks Elon landed a solid player.
"Jeremy has great instincts for the ball and the play and seems to get himself in great positions to make plays," Kranish said. "He is an effort guy who runs his motor full speed."
South Pointe center/offensive lineman Jacob McQueen committed to Gardner-Webb Saturday. McQueen, who is a solid 6-foot-4, 260 pounds, has been playing center this season in preparation for his likely position in college.
