DeVonte Holloman changes his mind about Clemson

DeVonte Holloman, a top football recruit and a former Independence High star, says he won't be going to Clemson.
Holloman, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound senior who had committed to the Tigers, was the nation's No.2 recruit at safety, according to recruiting service scout.com.

He transferred from Independence to Rock Hill South Pointe at the beginning of the season. Holloman said he “was surprised but not surprised” when he heard about Clemson coach Tommy Bowden being fired Monday morning. “I wasn't expecting it at the beginning of the season,” Holloman said. “Maybe at the end, but it's not a situation I want to go into – with a whole new head coach and all the changes that will probably happen. I want to go somewhere a little more stable.” He took an unofficial visit to Tennessee last month and plans to take official visits to South Carolina this week and Louisiana State on Oct.25.
He said he also wanted to visit North Carolina and was contacting the Tar Heels coaches who initially recruited him. Holloman, a 4.0 student, said he plans to graduate in December and enroll in his new school in January. “I'm wide open again,” Holloman said of his recruiting prospects.

Player makes the most of first start

Lincoln (Coucil Bluffs, Iowa) sophomore running back Austin Ebertowski made his first start Friday and came just four yards short of the state record for most yards in a game. Ebertowski rushed 41 times for 451 yards and three TDs in his team's 56-42 defeat of West (Sioux City). The record of 455 was set by Don Larson of Alden in 1954.
Another big game was turned in by Coleville, Calif., quarterback Jason Peters, who led his team to a 54-18 defeat of Wells, Nev. Peters ran for 336 yards and four touchdowns and passed for 244 yards and four touchdowns.
