“It is going to take a while,” he said. “I do have a couple of schools in mind, but I’m [not ready]. There were some rumors that I had committed to Florida State and I have no idea where that came from. [The Florida coaches] asked if I had committed and I said no, no ... I guess it is on Warchant.com that I committed. I called someone over there and he had to correct that.”

With no end in near site, DeBose did offer up a couple of favorites at the moment. It is a duo that may surprise some.

“I never grew up liking a school, but it is pretty much Florida and Miami that are my favorites right now,” he said. “Miami is just Miami, ‘The U’. Florida wins a lot and a lot of athletes come out of there. Urban said Percy is going to the draft and he needs someone to replace him. I am thinking that could be me.”

Now before Gator and Cane fans get all riled up and ready to call this one a day, they are going to have to go through dad first. Dad is the one that will have the most influence on his final college decision.

“My daddy, Morrell DeBose, is the biggest influence on my decision,” DeBose said. “He is the man in the house and everything has to go through him. He keeps me focused on school and stuff. My mom doesn’t know too much about football and doesn’t care where I go as long as it is a free ride. My daddy is going to help me with the decision, he won’t make the decision, but he will help me. He likes Florida State.”

Andre DeBose (Sanford, Fla./Seminole) in our opinion could end up being a Percy Harvin-like player in college. DeBose has played QB, WR, slot, RB -- you name it, he's done it. He can fly and has game-breaking talent with the ball in his hands.
