[cerebralfish1]

Matt "0-2" Elam FEAR THE SPEAR

[kibaboy1000]

LOL MY LAST NAME IS ELAM

[vader1789]

This kid can flat out play... Go Gators!

[X101Andy]

0:18 look at his legs...he left a trail of dust behind haha speed demon!

[whodat121980]

whats the over/under for number of arrests while he is at UF.

[lfter14]

meh, really fsu is fine. we got reid.joyner,AND reed. well be fine. we got enough play makers

[FootballStar203]

he can catch the football, be a running back and a defensive back. this guy does it all. GO GATORS

[Mademan281]

@Sherm904 I? knew that but I guess I'm sayin it because when the Gators play FSU I bet they will be showin pics of him in FSU gear tryin to keep him off track

[X101Andy]

@Mademan281 haha when he was asked go give his opinion on those pictures, he told the reporters "looking at them makes me sick to my stomach"

[Mademan281]

though he's a Gator, this guy has pic of himself in FSU gear, that's crazy

[WestheLegend]

damn i thought we had em at FSU, lol kid can str8 up BALL. could be another god damn Major Wright

[GatorHighlights3]

Excellent instincts on defense. I could see him being our next great safety. Would be fun to see him get a few balls on offense once too.

[TheGatorfan93]

The gators are reloading,brantley will be the key.Because they have talent and talent..and talent.Meyer just needs to get his coaching staff in order.And more importantly for brantley,get him behind center,to add to the spread.He can run a pretty well,but get some i-formation,power back sets.And THEN you can run brantley just a little,sprinkled in with the passing game.Too predictible under tebow,defense just played him to run,and his passing skills are not good enough to get respect

[posteriordepression1]

Man he can play RB too.

But Gators got too much at that position.

Rainey, Demps, Moody, Gillislee.

Now Mack Brown and Travon Van coming in as well.

Well at least he's playing for Gators.

[doma3n4]

damn da first hit was a fool

[DemonChild821]

i think his bro plays for the browns

[lilchris622]

damn, was he a sophomore in this video

[august102010]

what have miami done the last 5years nothing. meaningless bowl games compare that to the gators

[Canes247100]

What has Florida done from 1980-2005? Won 1 national title. Miami had 5 national titles in that period.

[bknellinger]

Yeah and also led the NCAA in violations... Great program but in its hayday there was Zero class. Im glad to see that the New UM coach is bringing some honor to the program.

[TheDajowi]

Matt Elam and Sharrif Floyd just commited to Florida !!!!!!!!!!! The future is bright in Gainesville.

[exoxe]

I don't get it. If he's worried about Florida's future, he should really be worried about Florida State's future. At least Urban talks about returning... you have no idea how things will turn out for FSU in the coming years. I just don't see a bright picture if I'm a recruit.

[fatsid]

cause you're a gaytor

[natate]

Stay with your decision to go to FSU!! FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU FLORIDA STATE - FSU

[chriscagator]

Oh Matt Elam,when will these recruits learn,Nukesse Richardson,Greg Reid, If you spurn FLorida and go to a rival you will regret it..enjoy losing to the Gators the next 4 years Matt..oh well we will move on and get Dietrich Riley instead...

[cujo2555]

lmao we will see buddy boy, he came to where the fans are LOYAL. Good luck next year losing with your "god" gone, coach up in the air and now you lost Haden. hahah the Tides have turned my friend.

[chriscagator]

Ok buddy boy!! I'm kinda happy "God" is gone, now we will throw the fucking ball like crazy with all these speedster WR's,...but like you said you we will see....FSU still blows

[brad71forfsu]

Greg Reid? Did he make a bad decision really? A freshman all american?

[aldelta19]

how many games fsu win last year? o that's right.... but wait what was the score of the UF - FSU game... o that's right.... fsu sucks ass and just got rid of the best thing that ever happened to it for some nick saban wannabe

[brad71forfsu]

@aldelta19 Sorry i didnt catch that your tight Jean Jorts must be cutting off your oxygen... Oh and tell your Radio Announcer that i dont have any pictures of young children that he can distribute around the internet

[caneboy84]

wht a shame, shoulda been a cane..wud leave to c his boi gerald christian become a hurricane, 1 hell of a player..would b great on those crossing routes and outroutes for miami at TE

[nolejag]

He is a nole!!!

[djhotboyfsu]

so he's a loser and jail bait once he de-decommits from a doomed team. Gators fans suck..i would have wish the kid good luck where every he chose to go..obviously he made the right choice....sorry a** ans like yourself

[Canes247100]

lol. yeah "if your not a gator, then you're gator bait". that makes a lot of sense. Florida plays LSU and a struggling UGA team and calls it a tough schedule. Give me a break. Florida played two good teams the whole year. LSU and Bama. and they got their asses handed to them in front of everybody. Gator bait? Yeah. right. They're afraid to play a anybody with any talent in a non-conference game.

[henniferlopay]

"theyre afraid to play anybody with any talent in a non-conference game."

1. they play fsu every year who is usually pretty damn good and will be great soon. so will miami, who fla plays every other yr

2. theyve lost 2 games in the past 2 seasons while playing in the best conference in the country. then they shit on cincinnati who is ranked 3rd so what do u think about that?

just shut up and quit hating.

[Canes247100]

1. UF doesn't play Miami every other year, they wont play again until 2013 because UF took the Canes off the schedule in the early 90's due to an annual asswhooping in the 80's and have been afraid to play Miami on a consistent basis ever since.

2. Here's a look at Florida's non-conference opponents from the last year : FSU(every year, ill give you that one. Charleston Southern, FIU, Troy. National Champions??? UF hasn't gone outside the state of Florida for a non-conference game since the 90s

[armycat23]

@Canes247100

4 miami ncs in the worst bcs conference.......in the 80's with 9 gimmies. ncs?

[Canes247100]

oh and i'll "shut up and stop hating" when Florida wins 5 national titles. Sorry, won't be for a while bud.

[TheGatorfan93]

Annual asswhooping in the 80's

you mean florida splitting the last 6 games before dropping miami?Yeah..some asswhoopings! lol

[Canes247100]

Miami is 12-3 in the last 15 meetings against Florida. Maybe thats why they dont play anymore... I'll give UF credit because they deserve it, but they will never be UM.

[armycat23]

@Canes247100

maybe so,but college is a 2 sport affair and uf is tied with miami.

in other sports- uf won 19 out of the last 22 sec all-sports awards.

something i doubt miami could even match halfway in any major or mid-major conference

[Canes247100]

Last time I checked this was a football video. Not to mention a football state.

[henniferlopay]

who's better now? yea. thats what i thought.

[Canes247100]

your right. Florida has been better for the last 5 years no doubt. Sorry about overlooking that its just that Miami was better for the previous 25.... sorry it kinda got old. Florida is better now but they still won't get to 5 titles anytime soon lol. So enjoy. BTW im not so sure UF will be better than UM next year, but we'll never found out because UF still won't agree to plan UM. Sounds familiar.

[tjmcdoug]

lol, just stop

[henniferlopay]

hancoale, as a UF fan im telling u to either shut the fuck up or find a new fav team because u r saying some stupid shit right now.

[bzotheman]

Elam just decommitted from UF and is now a Seminole!

[Gnomanator]

hes a NOLE!!!! haha

[big52daddy10]

i think these highlights are from his sophomore year...

[august102010]

gators lost two commitment stills and jefferson because of selffish elam

[icicle1906]

Didn't you say that on another video august102010?

[ah1mike]

it's alright, Gators have picked up many athletes that can subvice for that for the loss of Still's and Jefferson and also can play in different positions. Jonathan Dowling - WR/S Demar Dorsey - CB/S Robert Clark - WR/CB Tarvon Van - RB/CB Jordan Haden - S/LB Jaylen Watkins - WR/CB Matt Elam - RB/S also Gators can and will land some more prospects when it's said and done one's to keep a i eye Ronald Powell, Chris Dunkley, Jordan Hicks, Sharrif Floyd, Ivan McCartney, and a few others.

[big80]

I dont think his highlights were too impressive.. Maybe its his physical numbers..

[RhymeswithReason]

His brother is in the NFL and this is old footage. This kid is a game-changer no doubt. Looks like its gonna be the NOLES BABY!! Come on over to tally!

[eers2ya]

WVU!!!

[BigNigg33]

chea!!!! Elam u should def come to WVU with ya boi robert clark

[ah1mike]

Robert Clark is actually a soft verbal at West Virgina and he strongly considering joining the Gators... Matt Elam just reconfirmed his commitment for the Gators and is a now a solid verbal commit also is early enrolling so that goad's well for them. Go Gators

[elbinausley]

uf shouldn't be so confident about this kid. i put his chances of ending up at FSU or UT as higher than remaining at UF

[ah1mike]

i'm pretty confident but, it is recruiting and some players can get away from teams but so far Gators have been doing a great job keeping most of there commits all solids with out exception of Victor Hampton who de commited from the Gators but even with so much top athletes and with losing some couches ala C. Strong and B. Gonzalez is really impressive. Go Gators

[ah1mike]

lol ooops typo coaches....

[nateguy40]

switchin to fsu in 2 days mark my words

[Kevinpb639]

matt elams my boy and me and him were chillin at the florida homecoming game against arkansas on the field.

[jamescaridi]

yeah, major worry of UF, too many 5 star athletes. Get a life. I'd worry about too many two star athletes lf I was you. Oh wait, did you win two out of three NC's, yeah fuphing right.

[MrFree12]

im just saying urban been recruiting what fits his team and recruitng florida hard...now that they are champs everyone wants to play for them...so he has to be careful not forgeting what got him rings...and it wasnt a roster full of 5 stars...that was the downfall of miami...

[GoNuckingFuts]

It doesn't hurt though.

[MrFree12]

gators better be careful to not fall in love wiith all these 5 star recruits...it could backfire...they have to get what fit their system...but so far so good

[G8trjasonb]

jadeni...there is lots of smoke all over the Gator message boards saying that Powell is a Gator...looks like Meyer is giving Carroll a taste of his own recruiting medicine

[jadeni1]

Powell is going to usc adam, sorry

[1mdatnigga]

hope he stays true to his word and becomes a gator...boy got sum talent...it'd be a shame to see him waste it at tenn....

[MrGators09]

You Vols are dreaming! LOL

This kid and his family have a VERY strong relationship with Coach Meyer!

Besides, why would he go to a team that can't even get along with the coaches. See TE Brandon Warren as an example.

[kcag42]

sorry gator fans, hes all VOL

[ooFLYBOiioo]

Rodriquiz D'wayne Alexander II

Grad Yr : 2013

#1 Ranked WR in Country.

Get Ready for it.

[ah1mike]

it was a typo icehot he's still a Gator...

[adamchase10]

Ronald Powell and Lynden Trail at DE, Leon Orr at DT, Jeff Luc - Gideon Ajagbe and Neiron Ball at LB. Jaylen Watkins- Cody Riggs- Demar Dorsey at CB, and Matt Elam and Jon DOwling at S.

Thats so sick

[don1shorty]

yikes! i expected more out of Florida high school football. the other players on the field were bad.

[gvilleboy352]

ya, because this is the best of the best for FL highschools. keep searchin', kid...

[ah1mike]

i know he is FSUfrenzy but believe me he's a 100% Gator he's even fed up with the media he's also taking the visits cause there free and help recruit he is planing to enroll early i don't trust rivals anymore for Gator recruiting source... half are not true or just to spice news up

[Babyhuey24]

lol the announcer learned his name after a while

[ah1mike]

speed* standouts* anyways Go Gators are future is bright the question is how much more dominate can the Gators get with all this talent

[ah1mike]

agreed i can see Elam playing Safty with the Gators awesome thing is though all the players the Gators are picking up can play at different positions take a look at J. Dowling he was at a recruting camp in Gainsville and did awesome as a WR he showed great speen hands and running routes and was one of the sand outs there....

[e3pudgeburk]

look the kid was a sophmore and freshman in this vid idk how u coukld fukin say hes not fast heel play safety hes alredy going to uf....

[MrGators09]

This guy is such a stud! He's the brother of NFL Safety Abram Elam.

[babyaustin014]

now we got him at DWYER he is so beast... bro what are you talking bout hes got so  much speed.

[footballer8817]

this guy looks like a linebacker, quick first steps but not top speed. explosive and can really hit. guy could be quite the olb

[OBRI8211]

Why don't they give him the opportunity to try out for offense... we are so stacked at DB, he looks great as a big fast elusive running back but no doubt hes a great safety as well, i guess wherever we have less depth I want to see him

[ah1mike]

Jaylen Watkins-CB

Jonathan Dowling-S

Demar Dorsey-S or CB (soft verbal)

~will probably leave the Gators cause scared of competition and because of commitment of Jaylen~

Matt Elam-S/ATH

Victor Hampton-CB

gotta see what happens when he comes to the Gators im sure Urban will put him in different spots and see where he's more better played at but as of right now all i know is he's being recruits as a safety for the Gators and look for Jordan Haden also being recruited at the safety position

[OBRI8211]

Yeah, So you don't see Watkins or Elam seeing any time at offense? And what do you think about the offense? Do we have a legit chance at getting, Dunkley, Louis, McCay and pulling Mack Brown outta GA to play RB??

[ah1mike]

Gators could pick up and most likely will pick up Kadron Boone and James Louis and maybe Chris Dunkley and even Kenbrell Thompkins also add Justin McCay there all possible add's at just WR and i read somewhere that Mack Brown wants to play with John Brantley and is giving the Gators a 60% chance of him being a Gator and with add from Jordan Haden i see him playing LB and even Elam could to so the Gators D is set right now if they keep all recruits just need some D linemen......

[ah1mike]

also to add is the Gators got Gerald Christian and he's a great add for a TE and even heard that James Louis could be joining the Gators sometime this week no worry's at QB cause Trey Burton are guy and will most likely be one of the top QB's next year just rivals and scout want to put him low.... he can run and has a great arm but still kinda raw but has alot of talent but pretty much concern with the Gators is at WR and need to get D linemen and also pick up 2 or 1 RB's other then that.....

[ah1mike]

the secondary of the Gators in recruiting is awesome if anything they are pretty much done with that..... and Jaylen looks kinda under sized to be somewhere else and Watkins even said he's not concerned with depth at CB and that's what the Gators are recruiting him at kinda reminds me of Joe Haden he never really played CB and look at him now.... and his brother Jordan Haden is gonna be something special also.... i think Matt Elam will play either S or LB and same with Jordan Haden

[genron187]

Matt Elam is the truth, his rankings are no fluke. Been doing for a long time. He's not no combine guy, all those Tee shirt n panties players. Give me him, Dorsey and Joyner and my dee is awesome

[genron187]

Oh yeah, Im a UM fan so there is no way Im going to let UF add Joyner. Sorry...that would be unfair. Imagine CB:Dorsey/Joyner S:Downing/Elam? WOW! Thats speed, size, and unreal talent.

[ah1mike]

add Victor Hampton on there he looks like a good CB he's kinda slow but he makes reads really good could be something at the next level plus with some of Gators practice and the speed of the Gators he'll get faster and training always helps he's just gotta apply to it..... and i think LJ could be considering going to OSU or FSU right now but it's still a long ways till NSD so anything can happen......

[a11wedoisdis]

Kinda slow? Remind you of someone else they said the same thing about a year ago? Maybe janoris Jenkins?

[ah1mike]

what does that have to do with me being slow everyone has there own opinion just cause i like to put mine you say i'm slow cause of that fact that someone else said the same thing about Janoris? are you trying to put something on me that i'm stupid or something or what?

[a11wedoisdis]

homie, you just misunderstood everything i wrote..you said Hampton was kinda slow..that was in response to that statement, not you..

[BrdNBudda5]

it depends on what we end up with in the 2010 class.More than Likely Elam will be a SS. I sure as hell hope we get Luc and possibly Butler and Ajagbe we will be set at LB's. Its not going to be easy to land Luc.

[OBRI8211]

This kid an WLB, with him on one side, jenoris jenkins, on the other side will be a pretty nice young combination.... now if we can only steal Jeff Luc from Miami to play ILB we will be set for the next few seasons

[OshaBosha44]

jenoris? i thought it was jelani or some thing like that

[ah1mike]

Demar Dorsey is faster then both at safety and or CB (4.25) he could play either position

[adamchase10]

SS- Matt Elam (4.45)

FS- Jonathan Dowling (4.50)

[adamchase10]

He's 6'1" and 205 lbs. and he runs a 4.45

[mello503]

He looks good at saftey but wats his weight and height?

[rellddre]

i think he's going to be a good ss

[ah1mike]

to much depth at saftey probly a LB like he's being recruted to play at....

[GoGatorz1215]

He doesnt seem fast enough to play HB under Urban Meyer but he would do fine at LB

[RighKey]

He'll probably be an outsie linebacker

[ah1mike]

Go Gators!!

[ah1mike]

with the Gators if he plays on the offensive side they can do what they do with Harvin an use him an TB,WR an anything to make big plays

[theassassin4]

played against him helluva player

[hancoale1]

what position is UF recruiting this kid as?

[Hypnotiikk]

Saftey or linebacker.

[andrew7603]

They are recruiting him as an athlete, so who knows where he'll line up.

[damast3r14]

I already love this kid!!!!!!

[jnick2807]

MERIWEATHER19 w.e. the hell your name is

[jnick2807]

lol good call MERIWATHER19 that was a hell of a battle

[Gatorswamp82]

Matt Elam committed to Florida today!

Go Gators!

[uamboi13]

My boi Matt GOIN STR8 2 DA LEAGUE!!!!! I feel sorry for every kid in high school his senior year!!!!!

[gatorlover97]

Guy said he's gonna commit to UF soon

[FtheNoles]

He's said openly he wants to be a Gator. Sorry to disappoint.

[MERIWEATHER19]

That doesn't mean anything, there is a long time until february 2010.

It will be a battle between (Miami and UF) for this kid.

Say whatever you, want but people have interviewed him, and asked him about great safety's and then when they say how about the safetys from Miami, the kid goes quite and doesn't know what to say.

He is not a definite Gayturd, there will be a battle for the kid.

[lil13bell]

LIL BRO GON BE THE REALIST OUTTA 561!!!

[CollegeFBfan2]

GO CANES!!!
