Florida moves quickly to offer one of state’s top juniors

Centennial junior David Yankey, one of the state’s top prospects for 2010, knows that he is increasingly a hot commodity. Knights coach Jeff Measor said Florida, in town for the SEC championship game against Alabama, informally extended a scholarship offer through him to his 6-foot-5, 250 tackle.
“They told me he’s in their top two or three offensive tackles,” Measor said. “He’s one of their higher ranked kids on their board. They love everything about him.”
Measor said Yankey, who recently visited Florida with Knights defensive end Euclid Cummings, likely will get an official scholarship letter in the next week or two. Yankey also has offers from South Carolina and Duke.

Georgia may be making a late run at Ridgeland’s Michael Bowman, who is arguably the state’s top wide receiver and committed to Alabama.
And Bowman said he is willing to listen to the Bulldogs.
“Georgia was my first love, and I will make up my mind at the end,” Bowman told the AJC on Friday night. “I’m still committed to Alabama. But I have to consider all my options … anything could happen.”
With the Crimson Tide going over final preparations in Atlanta for the SEC Championship, UGA assistant Stacey Searels stopped by Ridgeland on Friday to pick up film on Bowman and ask if he was interested in the Bulldogs.
The 6-foot-5, 210-pound Bowman said Searels seemed excited that he indeed still interested. Bowman was told that UGA would call next week after reviewing his film to talk more about a scholarship offer.
Bowman had a sensational senior season, catching 30 passes for 1,006 yards and 14 touchdowns. Last summer, he won MVP honors at the prospect camps at both UGA and Alabama.
