Michigan's upset victory opens Hornsby's eyes

Being present for a big win over rival Penn State in the final seconds helped Michigan get their foot in the door for four-star athlete Jamar Hornsby.

In the beginning Hornsby was expected to make his announcement on Oct. 5 with Florida being the very clear leader. After postponing that to head to Ann Arbor, he returned with a very open mind about his recruiting.

"Trust me, they have a real good chance," Hornsby said. "It was a crazy game and it pushed Michigan up a lot on my list."

The visit went well, but Florida is still considered the team to beat for Hornsby. His official visit is set for the Gators on Nov. 25. Georgia, Alabama, and USC are also visit possibilities.

Several recruiting sites are reporting that quarterback Jevan Snead has decommitted from Florida and will instead cast his lot with Texas.
In better news for Florida, Jacksonville Sandalwood's Jamar Hornsby has verbally committed to the Gators over Georgia. The 6'2" 190 pounder is Florida's 11th verbal commitment for the 2006 class.

Jamar Hornsby, a University of Florida football player, was released on his own recognizance after turning himself in Friday morning on charges of credit card theft and fraudulent use of a credit card.
Hornsby, 21, was allegedly using a credit card issued to Ashley Slonina, a University of Florida student who died in an October 2007 motorcycle accident in which walk-on UF football player, Michael Guilford, also died.
The card abuse started Oct. 13, 2007, the day after the girl's death, according to court records and involved a BP gas card. Hornsby made his first court appearance at 9 a.m. Friday and was released at 9:30 a.m. He was given curfew of 9 p.m. to 6 p.m. by Judge William E. Davis in Alachua County Court.
