Ohio offered OT Felipe Fernandez a couple days ago. I thought it was interesting that we offered him so recently. We must think there is a decent chance to land him.

He has offers from Buffalo, EMU, FIU, FAU, Georgia St, Tulane, and UCF.

With this guy and Jamal Smith, you wonder if these are guys that UCF was close to signing, but Scott Frost found he didn't have room for them. So Frost is steering them to his old coach. Just a theory.

In any case, Felipe seems like a very good player.

We just got another #DreamGreen16 tweet from Michael George, and Brian Haines tweets about "big news" tomorrow and palm tree and sunshine emojis.

Maybe we just stole Mr. Fernandez.

Maybe I need to find something more constructive to do with my time.

It is. The other lineman added is from Mike Laster's (bball) high school. Good to see OUr athletes connecting the dots.

Casper71 is going to get a sore hand from all high fiving after these 3-star recruits and a 4-star recruit! ;-) For the record, it makes me happy, too.

Daz is actually from Plant City, FL, which is right outside of Tampa. Fernandez is from Plant HS, which is a HS Football program down here in South Tampa that has produced a handful of well-known college players (Aaron Murray-UGA Mike Williams-USC to name a few)

Thanks for the correction. Any insight on Fernandez from the local press?

No Problem. From everything I've read and heard, Fernandez is a good strong OL, who picked up football in HS his sophomore year. I think that he will grow and develop nicely with our staff. Was voted Hillsborough County's top offensive lineman this past season as well, so he is talented. I expect him to develop into a solid offensive lineman that starts for at least 2 seasons in Athens.

Very good technique, keeps legs moving, will be All-MAC if he continues to develop.
