Bill Kurelic: It's no surprise that the region's top linebackers were the showstoppers at Penn State - ESPN
Quote:
Cream of the crop
Sharrif Floyd (Philadelphia, Pa./George Washington) was equally as impressive as Royer -- the two worked in the same group. Floyd showed strength, power and an intense attitude. The only offensive lineman who stood much of a chance against Floyd on Saturday was Under Armour All-American Miles Dieffenbach (Pittsburgh/Fox Chapel). There has been some debate as to whether Floyd will play defensive end or tackle in college. Based on his performance at Penn State, put him down as an interior lineman at the next level, and he has the tools to be a very good one.

Floyd has PSU in top five -[w/ video interview]
5/5

Without question, one of the most impressive performers at the NIKE Football Training Camp at Penn State on Saturday was Philadelphia (Pa.) George Washington defensive lineman Sharrif Floyd.
The 6-foot-3 and 298-pound Floyd passed the ‘look test’ at the NFTC and was equally impressive as he went through drills. Floyd is a powerful young man, but also showed he has good moves and is sound technique-wise. Floyd was able to dominate most of his competition over the weekend.
Floyd has been a varsity starter on both sides of the line since the beginning of his sophomore season. He has played defensive tackle, offensive tackle and guard.
Floyd has scholarship offers from Penn State, Pitt, West Virginia, Florida, Michigan, Boston College, Rutgers, UCLA, Temple and some others.

Class of 2010
Pennsylvania’s Top Seniors
By Chris Dokish
For those of you who follow our yearly rankings, you may have noticed that the Top 50 has become the Top 25. The reason for this is because of the lack of depth in the state. It's become more difficult to find 50 prospects yearly that are at a high-major level. For that reason, we have decided to just report on the very best the state has to offer.
While the depth is not what it used to be in a state that has seen its population plunge over the last few decades, there is still some excellent talent out there. You may notice, however, that there are really only two prospects who received attention from the high level programs around the country. This is a significant drop from past seasons.
Lastly, as we always try to do, we do our best to leave out "scout talk," hyperbole and biases. We try to speak as bluntly, and accurately, as possible, while still remembering that these are high school kids we're talking about.

1. Shariff Floyd, George Washington HS (Philadelphia) DT- Kids in Philadelphia get overlooked often in the football recruiting world, but not when they are this good. A brutally strong 6'3" 295 pound interior lineman, Floyd also has great agility and tenacity. He has also shown great techniques as he spent the spring dominating every combine he attended. He comes from a rough neighborhood, but showed great character by raising funds to pay for his own way on the combine circuit. His offers include Pitt, Penn State, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, West Virginia, Boston College, UCLA, North Carolina, South Carolina and Rutgers. Bottom line - as a kid from the inner city of Philadelphia, he is still underrated around the country. He has all the skills to be a dominating college player and is the only prospect in the state that could physically play college football tomorrow.

Scout.com: Floyd Still Feeling the Blue
7/13
By Eugene Hankerson. Will be visiting PSU this weekend, and then follow it up the 22nd-26th with a trip to Florida....while in Florida Sharrif will visit Florida, Florida State, Miami (FL), and FIU...will also attend the Top Gun camp in Florida at the end of July. Sharrif says PSU has everything he is looking for and that it is one of the few schools he feels comfortable at....RU and BC are also there. Says Michigan is in it, talks about UM, the Stokes family, and when a potential Michigan visit could happen.

Lions vs. Gators for Floyd? -
8/12
Quote:
By Bill Kurelic, NN Recruiting Analyst

August 12, 2009
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.

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.

By Mike Farrell. Sharrif is adamant that he has no leaders, is keeping things open, and isn't close to a decision. Plans to take official visits to Florida and South Carolina with PSU, Southern Cal, Rutgers, Miami (FL), Michigan, Illinois and UCLA in the mix for his other official visits...Boston College and North Carolina are also in there but he doesn't think he'll take officials. Says he needs to talk with PSU coach Larry Johnson, off the field incidents have been happening at PSU and as they continue he loses a bit of interest...not off his list just down some.
