Curt Maggitt Commits To Tennessee: 4-Star LB Leaves Florida Behind For The Vols

Four-star linebacker, Curt Maggitt has given his verbal commitment to Head Coach Derek Dooley and the University of Tennessee Volunteers.


The commitment came late Tuesday evening and aside from being a major pick up for the Volunteers, fans from the Gainesville area are considering the loss of Maggitt to be quiet significant.

Florida had been considered the leader for the services of Maggitt for several months but Derek Dooley and his recruiting staff have worked tirelessly and their efforts are showing up in a big way for the Volunteers.

Curt Maggitt delays decision one more time; will announce Feb. 10

Representatives for the Sportsman Channel's Respect Outdoors show said Monday that Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer prospect DE Curt Maggitt, who was to announce his college choice on Thursday of this week, will now be announcing a week later.


The new announcement date will be Feb. 10 and his taped decision will air at 5:30 p.m. on the cable outdoors show.

The problem for those involved will be keeping a lid on the decision until the show airs next week.

Maggitt is an outdoor hobbyist who loves to go fishing with teammate and friend Nick O'Leary, an FSU commitment, aboard the O'Leary's boat.

Maggitt is considered to be a heavy lean toward the Florida Gators. After head coach Urban Meyer stepped down, however, Maggitt had some thinking to do.

His original plan had been to announce his college choice on the Respect Outdoors show on the day after Christmas, but with the coaching situation in limbo at UF, Maggitt changed his plans to Feb. 4.


Now, until further notice, or some kind of Maggitt-Gate leak, he's on tap for Feb. 10.

His final three schools are Florida, Wisconsin and Tennessee.
