Football: Graham Poised to join Florida

This just in: Xavier LB Graham Stewart has decided to play for Florida next season. Stewart gave BC a verbal committment earlier this year but an in-home visit on Friday from new head coach Will Muschamp and the arrival of an official letter of intent seems to have swayed Graham's mind. The allure of the SEC, clearly college football's best conference last year, also seems to have been a major factor. At Florida he will join two former CT recruits, Wethersfield's Tyler Murphy (two-star recruit) and rivals.com's #2 recruit from CT two years ago, who shared time with starter Jon Brantley, New London's Jordan Reed. Graham is a four-star recruit the #1 recruit from CT this year and also in FL's recruiting class this year is CT's #2 prospect, Ridgefield OL Tommy Jordan, a three-star recruit (also looked at by BC). Stewart was considering Syracuse and UConn as well. He is playing in the Team USA vs Team World football game in Austin, Texas on Wednesday 2/2, which is also National Signing Day.
