10:48 AM ET 03.03 | Trent Harris was thinking about committing to the University of Florida football program this weekend. The Winter Park defensive end received his dream offer from the Gators, the team he has loved since he was a little kid, on Friday. It seemed all he had to do was speak with his parents and the deal was done. That's when Nick Saban stepped into the picture. Alabama extended Harris his sixth scholarship offer Saturday and it changes everything for the 6-foot-2, 231-pound junior, whose other offers are from Florida State, Georgia, Boston College and Kentucky. Harris actually spoke with Alabama defensive line coach Chris Rumph, who made the offer. "It's a big shock," Harris said. "I just feel blessed and thankful. I give all the glory to God. "I don't even know what else to say. It's just crazy." He may not have been as close to committing to the Gators 2014 class as many thought, but he's certainly further from that now. "I was pretty close, but I decided that I was probably going to take some time to think about it and probably take a few more visits," said Harris, who is scheduled to trip to South Carolina on March 23. Harris, the No. 14 prospect in the Sentinel's 2014 Central Florida Super60, had 50 tackles and 11 sacks last season, and his stock has skyrocketed in the last week, especially now.

Come to Alabama where they mold you into men and win NCs. Don't go to other places like Penn State who molests children and Tennessee where they worship the Devil's twin breed, Phil Fulmer and Roy Kramer.
Morons of the NCAA. Easy for their coaches to molest children when the coach and the AD look the other way.
