Rivals Profile
Scout Profile
Tampa (FL) Alonso
Height: 6-foot-2

Friday's News And Notes
Quote:
Alonso defensive lineman Demonte McAllister received his first scholarship offer earlier in the week from FSU. On Thursday, McAllister received a visit from Florida's Urban Meyer, who also extended an offer. Tennessee made it three and Auburn could make it four when Coach Tommy Tuberville visits next week.
"Now is his time," Alonso coach Mike Heldt said of the interest in McAllister, who was second on the team last season with eight sacks. "I expect a lot more to come."
The offers are pouring in, but Heldt said the focus right now is on McAllister's academics.
"We're working on his academics to get them up," Heldt said. "We'll get those in order."

Alonso's McCallister gets "surprise" - FSU offer
For Alonso junior defensive lineman Demonte McCallister, Wednesday started off like any regular school day.
But it ended as one he likely won't soon forget.
FSU assistant coach Odell Haggins came on campus to visit McCallister and offered him a scholarship (McCallister's first).
McCallister, an explosive 6-foot-3, 250 pound tackle who runs a 4.6 40, had eight sacks last season.
"I was surprised," McCallister said. "I hadn't talked to them - never - they dropped in and offered. It's exciting."
McCallister said he was a FSU fan growing up, although he had a little help.
"My mom (Katrina Daniels) was an FSU fan," McCallister said. "So I did too."
McCallister's teammate, senior defensive end Jamal Crook will start his three week college visit spree this weekend with a trip to Murray State, then Tennessee State (Jan. 25) followed by Georgia Southern (Feb. 2)

Alonso's McCallister "leaning toward FSU"
Alonso junior defensive lineman Demonte McCallister has seen his recruiting stock rise since the holiday break, with SEC schools like Florida, Auburn and, most recently Georgia offering him.
But the way it's looking so far, McCallister likes his first offer - Florida State - the best.
McCallister, an explosive, 6-foot-3, 240 pound tackle, said there's a long way to go - including several trips - but right now, "I'm leaning toward FSU."
Florida State signed three bay area standouts on Wednesday, with Hillsborough defensive lineman Moses McCray, Middleton tailback Carlton Jones and Plant tackle Rhonne Sanderson.

LSU offers Alonso star
Will Plant quarterback Aaron Murray be the county's most highly recruited football player in the Class of 2009? Maybe. Maybe not. The way things are looking, three standouts could give him a run for that title -- defensive end Ryne Giddins of Armwood, linebacker Petey Smith of Armwood, and last but not least, defensive tackle Demonte McAllister of Alonso.
On Tuesday, McAllister picked up what arguably is his biggest scholarship offer to date when national champion LSU pulled the trigger (McAllister confirmed the offer to the Times). Auburn, Florida, Florida State (the first to jump on board), Georgia and Tennessee are some of the other programs that previously offered. The 6-foot-3, 240-pounder is preparing for his college boards as we speak. He is scheduled to take the ACT in April and will take the SAT sometime after that.

By Bone...LSU has offered and also is receiving heavy interest from Ohio State. Favors Florida State over Miami, LSU, Georgia and Ohio State and talks about what interests him in each of the schools in his top five.

From the FSU site....Most recent offers from Notre Dame, North Carolina, Clemson & West Virginia. Says he is 'pretty open', but FSU remains high on his list. Says he will work on a top 5 soon and mentions that both FSU & USC will be in that list.

Since when do the Domers become the like of SEC schools?? The past few years they kinda broke out from the mold of perception that kids they offer are academic sound (or at least not borderline case such as McAllister) student athlete. I guess there is just one LESS thing the domers can brag about.
osu.edu ROCKS!
