Suitors for T.C.'s Joyer increasing

Apparently Tampa Catholic FB/LB Hunter Joyer's impressive performance at last month's U.S. Army All-American Combine is leading to some interest from college programs near and far.

According to Joyer's father, Jack, Ohio State, Purdue, Florida State, Cincinnati, USF, Louisville, Central Michigan and N.C. State have all stopped by to visit the 6-foot, 240-pound Joyer in the past week.

North Carolina and Georgia Tech have also shown interest, Jack Joyer said.

Joyer, one of the bay area's strongest prospects, should be one of the area's top recruits next season.
