Luverne (Ala.) High School quarterback Kenterius Womack has been offered a scholarship by the Syracuse coaching staff and will visit SU on Wednesday, Luverne assistant coach Doug Brown said in a phone interview earlier on Wednesday. "I think our timeframe is going to be fairly short," Brown said. As of this weekend, the 6-foot-3, 185-pound Womack had no scholarship offers and was looking at lower-level programs with prestigious academics. Just a few days later, he's received interest from 54 schools and counting, Brown said, many of which have offered. The most high-profile program looking at Womack is Michigan, though the Wolverines have not yet offered, Brown said. Womack is working on setting up a visit to UM as well. His offer sheet includes Nevada, Eastern Michigan, Connecticut, Army and Youngstown State, Brown said. "He fell under the radar," Brown said, "but it's nothing to do with him and nothing to do with us. Sometimes South Alabama, a rural area, you just get lost. We really thought he would be highly recruited." Syracuse offensive coordinator Tim Lester was the first Division-I coach to reach out and start building a relationship with Womack, Brown said. Lester and SU wide recievers coach/recruiting coordinator Bobby Acosta have since spoken with Womack numerous times over the phone, and as a result became the first set of coaches to bring Womack in for a visit. "We've talked to so many people, I can't remember them all," Brown said. "They were the first people on him, the first guys to call and set up a visit." Womack was a four-year starter at Luverne, Brown said, moving from wide receiver to quarterback as a sophomore, and playing in the secondary sparingly as a senior due to injuries. Many programs are recruiting him as a defensive back, Brown said, but SU is looking at him as a quarterback primarily. Luverne moved from a run-heavy offense to a spread system before Womack's junior year, Brown said, and he went on to throw for 27 touchdowns and run for about 11 more. Womack was clocked at 4.47 seconds for a 40-yard dash at a West Florida camp this summer. Still, like Syracuse's lone signee from Alabama — defensive tackle Steven Clark — Womack's recruitment didn't blow up until the very end of the cycle. It wasn't until this week that the phone calls and offers started flooding in. Brown said Womack is looking for "the right fit" at a school and an academic situation that he'll be able to succeed in. Womack is an honors student interested in business, Brown said, and will have no issues passing the NCAA Clearinghouse standards. Womack's athletic versatility also makes him a recruit that SU head coach Scott Shafer likely values. Womack is an all-state shortstop and the No. 2 scorer on Luverne's basketball team, Brown said. "You haven't got a better kid," Brown said. "Not as a person. He will never let you down. He will never tell you a lie. He's a consummate 18-year-old kid graduating high school" Syracuse currently has four quarterbacks on its roster: redshirt senior Terrel Hunt, sophomore AJ Long, redshirt sophomore Austin Wilson and preferred walk-on sophomore transfer Zack Mahoney. The Orange is also expected to add signee Eric Dungey this summer. [/QUOTE]
