Jeff Luc

Former Florida State linebacker Jeff Luc and two of his former coaches at Treasure Coast High School in Port St. Lucie, FL said Monday he is interested in USC and is getting interest in return. “I’m just looking around right now but I’ve been keeping in contact with them,” Luc said. “He’s looking at USC for a visit, and as far as I know they are interested in him,” said Treasure Coast head coach Irvin Jones. “He’s still in limbo and doesn’t have anything lined up, but South Carolina is interested,” said Treasure Coast defensive coordinator Anthony Sheapard. “There are some things they have to talk about. But there’s mutual interest on both sides.” Purdue and Tennessee State are two other schools to show interest according to Jones who said Luc was not a problem child at Florida State. “He’s not a character problem kid,” the coach said. “I don’t know if he fit into what they do at Florida State.” Luc played in 19 games in two seasons with the Seminoles and made 23 total tackles.

South Aiken coach Jeremy West has seen several recruiters drop by his school this spring to take a look at DB Deandre Schoultz (5-9 175) and OL Justin Day (6-8 290). USC and Clemson recruiters have been in with the Gamecocks showing a little more interest than the Tigers. “South Carolina wants Schoultz at a one day camp and wants him to bounce around the camp to see where he would fit in best,” West said. “Coach Mangus said he liked how Day looked in pads. He wants to get him into camp to see how he works with Coach Elliott.” Vanderbilt, Duke, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, NC State, Appalachian State, The Citadel, Tennessee and Furman are some of the other schools to check out the pair this spring. West said LSU is also showing interest in Schoultz who was forced to play quarterback last season after Bo Baldwin was injured. He had 30 tackles last season and returned two punts and an interception for touchdowns. Day played defensive end last season and will be an offensive tackle this season. “They all know how green he is but they know the potential of the finished product,” West said.

Kendall Fuller

Clemson and Virginia Tech are the top two with DB Kendall Fuller of Olney, MD according to his coaching staff. The Good Counsel program revealed on its Twitter account Monday morning that the Tigers and Hokies are at the top with Fuller who is regarded by some as the top cornerback prospect in the country. Michigan and Tennessee are next on his list. Fuller attended Clemson’s junior day in March and has been strong on the Tigers ever since. One of his teammates, LB Dorian O’Daniel, has already committed to the Tigers. Fuller’s brother plays at Virginia Tech and that is one of the strong draws for the Hokies.

DE Dane Rogers of Shelby, NC holds a Clemson offer and the Tigers are making it clear they want him in the program. “I’ve talked to Coach Hobby and he and Coach Brooks have been by,” Rogers said. “Coach Hobby wants me to be a part of their team. I’ve also talked to Coach Swinney and he said I have the speed and quickness they need for the edge. I’ve been talking the most to Coach Hobby and Coach Brooks.” Rogers, whose cousin is Clemson recruit Carlos Watkins, went to two games there last season and will visit again this summer. But while Clemson is strong with him, Rogers doesn’t want to identify an outright favorite right now. “I’m not saying a favorite because I really haven’t been anywhere,” Rogers said. He also has offers from NC State, Tennessee, North Carolina and Rutgers. LSU, Maryland and Florida also are showing interest and he plans to get to each this summer.
