SEC interest for Aaron
When Kurt Roper was at Duke he was the lead recruiter for Austin Aaron so now that Roper has moved on to become Florida's offensive coordinator the relationship has continued.
Aaron, a 6-foot-5, 202-pound wide receiver from Napa, Calif., said that Florida and USC are showing a lot of interest in him especially in recent weeks and his previous relationship with Roper is playing a big part in the Gators' interest.

An offer might be close especially if Aaron's recruitment continues to pick up.
"There is a lot of interest coming in from USC and Florida," Aaron said. "It's coming in big-time from Florida.
"The offensive coordinator that was at Duke (Roper) he went down to Florida so he's been recruiting me from Duke and he remembers me from that. With USC, I've been talking to them the whole time and a lot more lately."
The Napa three-star receiver has been picking up a ton of Ivy League offers recently.
In the last week or so, Aaron has landed offers from Harvard, Yale, Penn and Brown. Previously, the Northern California recruit had offers from Duke, Nevada and San Jose State.
The Ivy League schools are something Aaron will consider.
"I care a lot about my education," Aaron said. "I don't know. Maybe once they saw Harvard offer they jumped on board but I'm not complaining."
This summer Aaron is planning some trips starting in Florida and then making his way up the East Coast to Duke and then to the Ivy League schools. Aaron is expected to participate in the Rivals Camp in Northern California this weekend.
