Commit # 2 for GT: Embry Peeples

First off: What an awesome football name. I am a huge proponent that a players' success has a large correlation with how awesome his name is. With that in mind, this guy will automatically be a star.

The details: Sources peg him as short (5-7 to 5-9) and small (155-175) BUT he's fast. REALLY fast. 4.3 40 yard dash, 10.71 100m = FAST. And remember what Bond did with a very similar player, Garrett Wolfe. I am excited about this recruiting class so far, which appears will take on a much more national scope due to less than stellar academics.

Tidbits:



Embry Peeples, 5-10/185, Orlando Dr. Phillips ... May have best inside-outside running combo in Florida, has run equivalent of 10.6 100 meters and is one of fastest sprinters in Central Florida, can catch coming out of the backfield, could be receiver, kick returner, 909 yards in balanced attack; Eric Smith, 6-1/220, Seffner Armwood ... Injuries relegated him to 2nd team all-Hillsborough but he is believed to have big-time talent and great thickness; Carlton Thomas, 5-8/170, Frostproof ... Perhaps the best at his school since Travis Henry, has great quickness and speed, rushed for 2,200 plus yards, all-state pick; Aaron Winchester, 5-7/170, North Miami Beach ... 2nd team all-Dade, also KR, one of the quickest and most versatile athletes in Dade County
