Quarterback recruit Jesse Scroggins says Gators to change offense after Tim Tebow graduates

Standout Lakewood (Calif.) High School quarterback Jesse Scroggins told ESPN.com he talked with Florida Gators coach Urban Meyer this week and might have gotten a little news:

"I'm hyped on Florida for sure," Scroggins told the Web site's West Recruiting Blog. "They win national championships there and coach Meyer does a great job with the quarterback position. They said they're changing the offense after (Tim) Tebow graduates to a more drop back style offense and they brought in Scott Loeffler to be the OC there and that's the kind of offense he has always run so I know it will be a good fit for me.

"My coach and I plan to take an unofficial visit out there in the summer and we're just working out the dates. I've only been to Washington so far and liked it there a lot but I want to check out a few more schools in the summer because I plan to try and make a commitment before the school year starts up."

ESPN.com says the Gators have already offered Scroggins a scholarship.
