Is Florida recruit Losing Interest in BYU?
It appears that the tall and talented wide receiver from Florida who could take BYU's 2008 football recruiting class from good to extraordinary is slipping away from the Cougars.
O'Neill Chambers, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound athlete who visited Provo in June and promptly declared the Cougars as his favorite has changed his mind after a weekend visit to Purdue, he told the Web site superprep.com.
"I think [Purdue] is a really good fit [for me]," he said. "I didn't commit, but Purdue moved up and now they are No. 1."
Chambers showed interest in BYU, although he is not LDS, because his coach at Harmony High in central Florida, Tyler Anderson, played at BYU. Anderson helped lead Tooele High to a state title before moving to Florida.
He has a visit scheduled to BYU on Jan. 11 and to Florida on Jan. 18. Both schools have offered.
He told The Recruiting Trail a few weeks ago that he is leaning toward leaving the state, a point that he reiterated to superprep.com on Monday. He said he is trying to set up a visit to South Carolina as well.
"I was really liking BYU, but they haven't been in touch as much lately," he said. "Florida is a great school. Coach Gonzales [of Florida] calls me a lot."
On a scale of 1-5, most recruiting services list Chambers as a three or a four-star recruit.
He has caught 15 passes for 319 yards and four touchdowns for his 3-1 team.
