Teague chooses Florida over Alabama, Georgia Tech and Tennessee

Cornerback Marsalis Teague of Henry County High in Paris, Tenn. committed to Florida Thursday evening.

He had been considering scholarship offers from programs such as Alabama, Georgia Tech and Tennessee.

“I actually made the decision a few days ago, but I committed [Thursday night],” the 5-foot-10, 170-pound Teague told Rivals. “I talked to my parents about it and told them that’s what I wanted to do.

“I called coach Urban Meyer [Thursday night] and told them I was coming. He asked me to repeat that and put me on speaker phone.

“I said ‘I have some news for you. I am coming to Florida.’ I heard all this yelling in the background.”
