Cole Peace
says three schools have emerged at the forefront of his recruitment.
"The three major ones are Middle Tennessee, UAB and
Southern Miss," he said. "They've shown a lot more interest than anyone else. I
don't have any offers yet, but all three of them have set up dates to come watch
one of our games down here."
Peace (6-1, 210, 4.7) said he's also hearing from Alabama
and Indiana regularly, but has yet to receive calls from them this month.
"Kentucky had been calling, but they got a commitment from an in-state
quarterback (Andre Woodson) up there, and I haven't heard from them since then."
As a junior, Peace passed for 1,997 yards and 23 touchdowns
with only six interceptions. He was 7-for-15 for 160 yards and two touchdowns in
his first game as a senior -- and also ran for a TD -- but has missed the last
two games after having his knee scoped.
"I had a minor tear of the MCL like the Ohio State running
back (Maurice Clarett) did," he said. "It's all cleaned up now, though, and I
expect to play Friday. I feel great."
