Florida DB Michael Nesbitt has South Carolina in top 10

Defensive back Michael Nesbitt of Lauderdale Lakes, Florida recently dropped a top 10 of South Carolina, LSU, West Virginia, Central Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, Maryland, Louisville, Kentucky and Pittsburgh. He also has a Florida State offer and is drawing interest from Florida and Miami.

Travaris Robinson is recruiting Nesbitt for the Gamecocks and apparently has put them in shape with the 6-foot-1, 180-pound cornerback.

"They should be in my top five but I'm still evaluating," Nesbitt said. "The communication with Coach T-Rob and what he's saying I can do at their program especially playing in the best league. I hear from them probably 80% of the week. They (Will Muschamp and Robinson) are bringing a new attitude to the program."

Nesbitt has not visited USC, but he plans to contact Robinson about a visit during the season. This summer his only visits were to Florida State and Kentucky.

USC, Kentucky, West Virginia and Louisville are four schools in his top ten coming after Nesbitt hard and the coaches really like his cover skills. He had two picks last season.

"They wouldn't find a lot of bigger cornes than me," Nesbitt said. "I'm a corner that has speed and I can cover, things that smaller guys can do. And I'm versatile. I play receiver and all."

Nesbitt said he is looking at the beginning of his season for making his decision and there is no leader at this point.

Notes

DB Zyon Gilbert of Montgomery, Alabama is looking at making his commitment by the start of the season. He said he's favoring South Carolina right now and is waiting to get in touch with recruiter Travaris Robinson. He also cited Troy and Southern Miss as two other programs high up on his list.

2018 DB Asante Samuel of Ft. Lauderdale planned to visit USC Tuesday.
