Joyer picks up more offers

Wesley Chapel lineman Kamran Joyer spent two hours with USF coach Jim Leavitt on Wednesday where he received another scholarship offer. In fact, he loved what he heard so much he now lists USF as his top choice followed by Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina and Miami.
Illinois also offered Joyer this week. He also has offers from Tennessee and South Carolina with Miami coming to visit next week.

Joyer will attend a camp at Florida June 11 where he hopes an offer will come soon after.
Joyer moved USF to the top of his list for two reasons: Leavitt said Joyer would have a strong chance to earn a starting position; and USF is close to home.
USF is thin at center and is considering Joyer in that role with four seniors on this year's line. Joyer currently plays guard, but he was a center in middle school and his father, Jack, said he should get some practice snaps with the Wildcats though he will not move to center this fall.
Joyer also liked the fact that USF will play schools such as Miami, Florida and Notre Dame meaning if he can become a four-year starter he'll have plenty of exposure nationally and perhaps a shot at the NFL.
Joyer has yet to speak with former Wesley Chapel lineman Danny Tolley, whose three years at USF have been hampered by injuries. Jack Joyer said his son is expected to make an oral commitment by the end of June, and that a chance to start would certainly carry a lot of weight in his decision.
"He started Day 1 at Wesley Chapel," Jack Joyer said. "His goal is to be a four-year starter."

Kamran you are a good football player in a good program. Take your time with the decision and enjoy your final year of h.s., first and foremost. Starting on the OL as a frosh at the D 1 level is a tough chore - and maybe a "sell job". Just ask Griffin from Armwood/USF and all the other OL signess from the area over the past 3 - 4 years. I believe only Pouncey is the only one to start at a good program which USF is?!?

USF has proven that it starts young players including freshmen that are ready to contribute. Ask USF OL Zach Herman who is line to be a four year starter. With that said, this kid should pick the school that he feel must comfortable at during his recruitment.
