Belleview High's Alex DeLeon verbally committed to play football for Florida Atlantic University on Thursday after attending the Owls one-day camp last weekend.

DeLeon (6-4, 195), who can't officially become an Owl until National Signing Day in February of 2010, would be the first Division I football scholarship for the Rattlers since Cody Wells signed with the University of South Carolina back in 2003.

"I just felt real comfortable (at FAU)," DeLeon said. "I feel like I really fit into the offense. I felt like it was the best choice for me athletically, academically and financially."
