WR Visitng Practice

Spring football is usually the time when many prospects flood the practice fields to catch Florida Atlantic’s practices.

Yesterday, 2011 prospect WR Xavier Youngblood was out watching practice with his father.

“FAU has offered me, so I decided to come down” explained Youngblood when asked about the interest FAU has shown in him.

The 6’3” 185 pound prospect hails from Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs, FL. The problem for Youngblood however is his high school’s offense.

“We don’t really throw the ball” Youngblood said. “Its run, run, run, sometimes they throw it to me.”

Lake Brantley’s triple option offense has been there for years and is run much similar to Georgia Tech’s.

Current FAU offensive lineman Jared Pizzuti comes from the Lake Brantley program, but Youngblood didn’t know too much about him.

One thing is for sure, FAU will need to reload in this next recruiting class as they loss senior WR’s Lestar Jean and Avery Holley. Youngblood’s father was aware of the situation and had a depth chart in hand looking at all of the receivers.

“I like FAU” remarked Youngblood “Maybe ill commit soon, maybe sometime this week.”

The prospect plans to make it out to FAU’s April 24th spring game.
