MOULTRIE — Vance Cuff had a fine junior season for the Colquitt County High football team, using his speed and versatility at cornerback, wide receiver running back and on special teams.

And while he played somewhat in the shadow of teammates Orion Ponder and Dontrell Johnson, both of whom received honorable mention on the All-State team, Cuff has now become perhaps the Packers most sought-after player.

An impressive performance at the combine in Gainesville, Fla., in May and a 4.35 clocking in the 40 have opened the eyes of a number of the nation’s top programs. He has three scholarship offers already.

Florida got to see Cuff up close and personal at the combine and was impressed. And Cuff told GatorCounty.com that he has been a Florida fan since he was a youngster.

And while the Gators appear to have the inside track, Cuff also is considering Ohio State, Georgia, Mississippi State and Auburn, where he was impressive when he took part in a team camp there last month.

Colquitt County has not had a football player sign out of high school with a Division I school since Nate French went to Auburn in 1998. Brian Jordan played four years as the snapper at Georgia, but earned his scholarship as a walk-on.

Ponder, Johnson, B.J. Baker and Derek Illian also are likely to be scholarship candidates by next February’s national signing day.

And while Cuff and Johnson will give the Packers at least two outstanding backs, watch out for the play of the Coffee High secondary.

The Trojans have four players —Quam Hancock, Kareem Burch, Stacy Williams and Rashad McCrae — who are considered having Division I potential.

Of this and that:

n Aaron Eubanks and Will Southwell continue to have strong summer seasons with the Danville (Va.) Cougars of the Carolina-Virginia Collegiate League.

The two former Packers, who are now Georgia Southern teammates, have led the Cougars to a 16-6 record and a place atop the league standings.

In the 6-1 victory over the Kernersville Bulldogs that vaulted the Cougars into first place, Eubanks worked four innings in relief, giving up just one run and striking out four.

Southwell had a triple and a single and drove in four runs.

n The addition of television broadcast has required a change in the Valdosta State football schedule.
