The top two safeties in Florida’s 2013 recruiting class have taken strikingly different paths so far in their young careers.
One of them is Keanu Neal, who was rated as a four-star prospect out of South Sumter High School.
He was the No. 13-rated safety in the country according to the 24/7 Sports Composite, and last season, the junior led UF’s defensive backs in tackles before bolting for the NFL.
The Atlanta Falcons apparently liked his coverage skills and big-hit ability enough to select him with the 17th pick of the first round.
Then there’s Marcell Harris.
