Biggest question for him will be size and where he plays.

The State | 09/07/2007 | Rebels turn it on in second half to slip past Florida team

Byrnes recovers from atypical first half to rally past Dr. Phillips

Byrnes 18, Dr. Phillips (Fla.) 14

DUNCAN — Millions of football fans had a chance to watch the Byrnes Rebels on national television Thursday night.

If they turned the channel at halftime, they didn’t see the real Rebels.

“They wanted to come out in the second half and prove that (the first half) wasn’t the way we play,” coach Chris Miller said. “I thought we did a great job.”

The Rebels didn’t look like their usual dominating selves in the first half, but they shifted to that persona in the second half and overcame a halftime deficit to beat Orlando’s Dr. Phillips High 18-14.

Interest In Dawkins Skyrocketing

By Phil Kornblut
Byrnes DE Everett Dawkins (6-3 235) has seen the offers from major schools roll in over the past few weeks. The list includes Wake Forest, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Illinois, Michigan State, Florida State, Tennessee, Florida International, Wisconsin and NC State. USC is also showing interest and Dawkins talked Wednesday night with Gamecock recruiter Brad Lawing. "He wanted to know if I had interest and I told him I did," Dawkins said. "I've got to send him a tape." Dawkins has not scheduled any official visits but right now he's looking at Florida State, NC State, Wake Forest, Tennessee and Virginia Tech, but he said that could change. Florida State is his current favorite. "I have a tight connection with the coaches," he said. "I went to a three day camp there and I just liked the atmosphere." Dawkins had 120 tackles and 3 sacks last season. He has 31 tackles in three games this season.
