http://www.fauowlsnest.com
DB Jake Stoshak (6’0” 175) University Christian- Stoshak was named to the Florida class 2A all-state team. He also finished the season tied nationally for the second most interceptions returned for touchdowns. Stoshak is the younger brother of FAU receiver Jenson Stoshak.
OL Reginald Bain (6’4” 270) Miami Central- Bain enrolled into FAU in January after helping the Rockets win the class 6A state title. Bain who committed last June is expected to play guard at the next level.
OL Bryers Hickman (6’5” 255) Gainseville- Hickman was another summer commit that gained particular interest due to his run-blocking ability. Although a little light for a collegiate interior linemen a summer in the weight room should put Hickman in fighting shape.
OL Joe Gold (6’3” 290) South Ft. Myers- Gold brings some much-needed size to the Owl’s offensive line. Being a 290 pound freshman makes him the second heaviest of the 2014 class, and years in a run heavy offense has made Gold an aggressive run-blocker.
QB Jason Driskel (6’2” 215) Hagerty- FAU’s only QB commit going into signing day, is an early enrollee and is working with the Owls now. Driskel finished the 2013 season with 1160 yards through the air and 13 touchdowns. Driskel is the brother of University of Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel.
DE/TE Hunter Snyder (6’6” 221) East Lake- Snyder is a hybrid type player with a lot of raw talent. Playing mostly defense Snyder lacks the weight of a college defensive lineman and doesn’t have much offensive experience to become an immediate threat at tight end, though despite his weight he finished his 2013 campaign with 53 tackles and 4 sacks.
LB Kris Harris (6’0” 220) Godby- A three-star prospect by 247 and Rivals, Harris was a force on Godby’s defense that helped win the 2012 Class 5A state title. Harris ended 2013 with 48 tackles 5 sacks and 2 pass deflections.
Harris held multiple offers including Ole Miss and Rose Bowl champions Michigan State.
DB Andrew Soroh (6’2” 190) American- Soroh originally committed to FIU in July, though flipped his commitment after his head coach Corey Bell joined Coach Partridge’s staff as assistant defensive back coach.
DB Marquese Dudley-Gordon (6’1” 180) Cypress Bay- A highly touted three-star recruit,
who chose FAU over Michigan State, Wisconsin, and Arkansas. Dudley-Gordon has great open-field tackling ability and field awareness; he earned an 8A all-state honorable mention.
RB Trey Rodriguez (5’10” 175) Mainland- One of the Charlie Partridge steals of the year, Rodriguez committed to FAU after rushing for 1,374 yards and 13 touchdowns despite playing quarterback through the final five games of the season and playoffs. Rodriguez was the no. 3 ranked player in the Orlando Sentinel’s Central Florida super 60.
Rodriguez held offers from Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Georgia Tech.
DB Raekwon Williams (5’10” 170) First Coast- Williams (pictured) was the first of the flood of recruits brought in by Charlie Partridge. Williams plays excellent man coverage, and isn’t scared to throw his body into a hit.
Williams had offers from Cincinnati and Purdue.
LB Matt Solt (6’2” 210) Gainseville- Solt’s large stature is a nice addition to the Owl’s linebacker corps with the departure of senior Adarius Glanton. As the Hurricanes main run stopper, Solt is fearless at the line of scrimmage, though despite the physicality of his play, Solt is not scared to drop into coverage and make a play while the ball is in the air.
Solt had interest from Iowa State and Wake Forest.
RB Gregory Howell (6’1” 205) Coral Gables- A power back, Howell resembles current Owl Jay Warren’s big body and down hill running style. Howell aided the Cavaliers to their first playoff victory in over 20 years. Howell led all of 8A in rushing, though finished third in Miami-Dade County behind Miami Central’s Joseph Yearby and Dalvin Cook.
Howell chose FAU over Minnesota and Western Kentucky.
OL Siffo Pierre (6’4” 320) Taravella- Pierre is a big bodied guard with a ton of potential. Pierre made the 8A all-state team, and was ranked no. 49 best player in Broward county.
TE Jacob Wilson (6’4” 230) Chipley- Wilson is a big athletic tight end, which the Owls are going to be needing after losing Nexon Dorvillus. Not highly scouted, Wilson has the athleticism for the next level and will be interesting to watch develop.
RB Henry Bussey (5’10” 170) Hialeah- Bussey originally committed to FIU, and flipped after a Roger Harriot visit. Bussey is an athlete, despite playing running back in high school he is projected to play a more slot receiver role in college.
Bussey held quite a few offers most notably Wake Forest and University of Louisiana-Lafeyette.
DL Josh Kendall (6’3” 275) Lehigh Senior- Kendall knows how to work his hands and shed blocks, a huge physical specimen will work well with the Owls defense. Kendall tallied 48 tackles and 2 sacks in 2013, and
racked in offers from Wake Forest, Marshall, and FIU.
DT Ray Ellis (6’3” 245) Holy Spirit (NJ)- The Owl’s only out of state interest, Ellis was recruited by FAU’s new D-Line coach Roc Bellatini while he was at Villanova and decided to continue recruiting when he got to FAU. Ellis ended his senior year with 5 sacks and helped his team to 2 New Jersey state titles.
Ellis also had interest from MAC champions Bowling Green and Delaware.
TE Nate Terry (6’5” 200) South Dade- Terry played mostly like wide receiver in high school though with his height and pass catching ability he is projected to make the move to a more permanent tight end role after gaining a little weight in the off-season. Terry aided the Bucs to the class 8A state championship.
LB Nicholas Richardson (6’4” 210) Carol City- Richardson transferred to Carol City from St. Thomas Aquinas in the summer and made the Miami Herald’s pre-summer top 50. They describe him as a hard-hitting, flying around the ball type of player.
DL Devin Santana (6’4” 215) Sickles- Coming to the Owls as a preferred walk-on, Santana did not see much interest at the FBS level though has the size to make an impact on the field.
WR Kamrin Solomon (6’0” 170) Mandarin- Solomon is enrolled in FAU now after grayshirting a season to build his body and prepare himself for the next level.
WR Bobby Mitchell (6’2” 170) St. Augustine- Mitchell is also currently enrolled in FAU as well after grayshirting a season to prepare for the next level. Mitchell caught for 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns his senior season.
K Landon Scheer (5'8" 180) First Academy- Scheer has a big leg and it is clear why the Owls want him, in 2013 he went 9-13 in field goals with a long of 44. Scheer also has some power when it comes to kick off, hitting 65 touch backs on 90 attempts.
