Marvin Sapp commits to Jackets

..per the Florida Times-Union - link here.

Talk about recruiting with the academics. Here are some comments on Sapp:

Sapp was named the Times-Union's Defensive Player of the Year in 2003 after compiling more than 120 tackles at Bolles. He transferred to Sandalwood in January and quickly claimed the starting middle linebacker job for the Saints. Sapp (6 feet, 210 pounds) is academically qualified for freshman eligibility, and said Georgia Tech has recruited him as a middle linebacker. Tech has three Jacksonville natives on its roster. Two of them, Jonathan Jackson of Bolles and Chirod Williams of White, will graduate before Sapp arrives next fall. Receiver Pat Clark of Mandarin is a freshman.

"I think [Sapp] is good enough to play on Sundays," said Adam Geis. "Physically, he works out like nothing I've seen before. He already power cleans more than all but six or seven guys on Georgia Tech's team, and this is a guy who still is going to get bigger."

Sapp is a relative of NFL star Warren Sapp and former Raines, Clemson and San Diego Charger Pat Sapp.

"He had a hard offer from just about everyone except Florida and FSU," Geis said. "But academically, he needs more than Florida and FSU, anyway. He can speak Spanish, he takes all AP [advanced placement] classes. Georgia Tech is right up his alley."

I'll have more later on this linebacker prospect.
