Floyd, a 6-foot-3 and 309-pound ESPNU 150 defensive lineman, has plenty of choices. He estimates his scholarship offer list to stand between 35 and 40.
In July, Philadelphia (Pa.) George Washington defensive lineman Sharrif Floyd said he would likely take three official visits, with one of them being to Penn State. Floyd has since changed his mind a little, but still plans to visit the Nittany Lions.
“I’m going to take all five official visits,” Floyd said Tuesday evening. “I’ll probably visit Penn State, Ohio State, South Carolina and Florida, something like that.”
The 6-foot-3 and 309-pound defensive lineman has plenty of choices. The sixth-rated defensive tackle and 74th-ranked overall prospect in the class of 2010 according to the recently-released ESPNU 150 estimates his scholarship offer list to stand between 35 and 40. The list includes Penn State, Ohio State, South Carolina, Florida, Pitt, West Virginia, Michigan, Boston College, Miami, Rutgers, UCLA, Temple and others.

It would not be surprising to see Floyd’s decision come down to Penn State or Florida. He commented on the two.
“I like the Penn State coaching staff,” Floyd said. “I’m thinking about going to one of their games. I haven’t seen too much of their campus yet.
“I like everything about Florida. I visited Florida at the end of last month. I was there for a day and a half.”
In addition to Florida, Floyd also visited Miami, Florida International, South Florida, South Carolina and Georgia last month.
Floyd plans to make his official visit to South Carolina the weekend of Nov. 14 when the Gamecocks take on Florida.
Kurelic’s Comment: I think Penn State and Florida are the schools to beat at this point, and I think it could be a very close race. In the end, I tend to think the Nittany Lions win out.

Floyd and Florida?
Written by: PSU_Law 14 August 2009
There's been some buzz that Florida is using "negative" recruiting to woo Floyd- any truth to the "buzz" and if so, what effect, if any, will it have on Floyd's recruitment? If it is true that Meyer is using some of the legal problems associated with a few Penn State players, it's a shame as every school has kids who get into some trouble and it seems hipocritical and inappropriate for any coach to use that against another school.
