Five-star safety recruit Matt Elam (West Palm Beach, FL), formerly the prize of the Florida Gators 2010 recruiting class, has decommitted and pledged his future to the Florida State Seminoles. [1]

It seems that the commitment Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer standout DB Matt Elam made to the University of Florida last October is becoming less solid with each passing day. [2]

Matt Elam from Palm Beach Gardens (FL) William T. Dwyer has always known he wanted to be a Gator. [3]

Much has been made over the last week about prized Florida Gators commitment, five-star safety/athlete Matt Elam of Dwyer, wavering on his desire to attend the University of Florida this spring. [4]

After his official visit to Tennesse e in October, Elam said reaffirmed his pledge to Florida and said he would not visit any other schools. [...] Elam is coming off his fourth official visit, a trip to Georgia, and sounds as undecided on his college plans as ever. [5]

Whether it’s the fact that the Gators have already secured pledges from four other defensive backs for the class of 2010 (including nearby Ft. [2]

Elam, who appeared to waiver about his commitment throughout the recruiting process, reaffirmed his decision to play for the Gators numerous times over the last few months, most recently sporting a Florida jersey and declaring that he could not wait to enroll early in January. [1]

Dwyer High (Palm Beach Gardens) won its first Florida state title Saturday in the Class 4A championship game against Niceville, 42-14, in large measure because Matt Elam has carried the Panthers. [...] Matt Elam has always been able to run hard and fast, but only upon slowing down did he become a truly fabulous high school football player, and a more promising person. [6]

Elam’s first move was to no longer enroll early, instead deciding to taking his time to make a decision while playing basketball and lacrosse at Dwyer in the spring. [1]

buddy nix buffalo bills

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

The Buffalo Bills announced Monday that Buddy Nix will be returning to the team as a national scout in the college scouting department. [1]

Buddy Nix (born December 6, 1939) is currently the General Manager for the Buffalo Bills. [2]

Granted the cornerback contingent for the Bills is beat up with McGee, Youboty and McKelvin on the shelf right now, but the 70-yard touchdown play on Friday was impressive. [3]

Nix, 69, spent 32 years as a college coach before entering the pro ranks with Buffalo. [4]

Nix was a scout for the Bills from 1993 to 2000, then, when John Butler was fired as the Bills General Manager, he went with Butler to the San Diego Chargers. [5]

Nix’s job with the Chargers was to oversee both pro and college scouting and to be one of the main decision makers in each NFL Draft. [2]

The Buffalo Bills made their first big acquisition of the offseason on Monday, adding Buddy Nix as a national scout in their college scouting department. [6]

The Chargers have rebuilt their team primarily through the NFL players draft into one of the top three winningest teams in the NFL over the past 4-5 years. [7]

Many people may have thought that the Buffalo Bills cannot make a single move that will get them excited about the team again. [5]

There’s no question however, that Nix is a scouting mind that Tom Modrak respects and Nix has a firm grasp of the talent down south, where in most cases it’s richest. [3]

These include 1) he was looking to meet his father 2) that he had resigned and was open to seeking another Front Office position with another NFL team. [2]

With Nix back in the scouting mix with the Bills, it’s certainly a solid addition. [...] Looking at the kind of talent that was successfully mined during his time in San Diego as player personnel director, it’s naturally the hope that he can do some of the same to augment Buffalo’s scouting efforts. [8]

As more college players come to the NFL from the spread offense, more and more of them will struggle to adjust to a pro style offense in year one. [3]
