The big news on an otherwise tame weekend was the official visit of five-star athlete Jarred Fayson of Tampa (Fla.) Hillsborough. Fayson (6 feet, 184 pounds) has more than 800 yards both rushing and passing this season, though he's being widely recruited as a receiver in the Tyrone Prothro mold. He has even compared himself to Prothro.
Fayson is listed as the No. 7 athlete/dual threat quarterback by Rivals, and is the No. 6 receiver (and a national top-50 prospect) by Scout.com. Fayson, who has had discussions with highly coveted quarterback Tim Tebow about playing college football together, is considering Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Miami (Fla.), Southern California and West Virginia. The team that promises Fayson a shot at quarterback might have the edge.
