FSU Gets First Commitment For 2008

This should be filed under "don't hold your breath." FSU got its first 2008 commitment this week but we all know what verbal commitments mean.

"Anthony Hill has committed to Florida State," Pensacola High School coach Mike Bennett said. "He is a great player. He is 6-foot-4, 280 to 285 pounds. He is a 4.9 (in the forty) kind of guy. He can run and get after you. He is an outstanding player."

This past season, Hill played nose tackle for Pensacola High and put up good stats despite battling a serious injury throughout the season that hampered his ability to practice.

"From week five of the season on, he had a grade three separated shoulder and he didn't get to practice a lot but he played on Friday nights," Bennett said. "He has bounced back from that though. He is in the weight room and working very hard."

According to Bennett, Florida, Alabama, and South Florida had also extended offers to Hill.
