Through the last two months while Urban Meyer’s future reached its height of uncertainty, Miami Booker T. Washington DE Lynden Trail was known as an unofficial spokesman for the 2010 class. Trail and Venice QB Trey Burton called plenty of recruits to make sure they were on the same page after Meyer’s job flip-flop.
“I know we’ll bring at least 2-3 national championships,” Trail said.
Bold statement. What makes you so sure?
“I just feel like we have so much special talent at every position,” Trail added. “And we’re all going to make sure to work hard. This group is determined to make a difference.”
The 6-foot-7 Trail is the Sentinel’s 14th-ranked player in the state.
Trail also said the recruiting class isn’t too worried about the departure of George Edwards, the Gators’ defensive coordinator for 27 days before last week’s bolt for a lateral position with the Buffalo Bills.
Interim coach Steve Addazio is currently coordinating the hiring of a new coordinator while Urban Meyer, officially on a leave of absence, is providing input.
There is chatter about New England Patriots assistant Corwin Brown, formerly Notre Dame’s coordinator, but we are hearing that probably won’t happen.
Trail, who met Edwards once, said he’s talked to numerous recruits in recent days and nobody even mentioned the departure.
“He didn’t seem to fit the mold of a Gators coach,” Trail said. “I’m sure he’s a great guy, great family guy, but he didn’t have the intensity of every other Gators coach when he got here. It doesn’t change anything for me. We’re all ready to come play anyway.”
