Summers brothers making plans
Olive Branch (Miss.) is home to the talented duo known simply as the "Summers Brothers" and apparently the bond is closer than one might imagine.
Package deals are usually not likely as the recruiting season pushes on and offers begin filling the mailboxes of brothers or high school teammates. However, for Rivals250 members Anthony Summers and his brother Markeith Summers, things could very likely end up at the same school, according to the duo.

"It's big to us, we're going to try to make it happen," Anthony Summers said. "I need to look at the opportunity, but if I see him go elsewhere I'm going to try and go with him."
Auburn, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Tennessee, and now Florida are some of the schools both brothers' list as having offers from and are heavily considering. Some of the favorites are still the same.
"I just like it down there at Florida because they made Markeith and I feel at home during their camp," Summers said. "Ole Miss is another one, Nebraska, and Alabama as well. Really I like the defensive minded schools like those since I'm being recruited as a safety."
As of now the duo has attended camps with not only the Gators, but Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Florida, LSU, and Tennessee.
Both brothers intend on stretching out this process until the final season of high school has completed in order to stay focused. They have yet to schedule any official visits yet and are not sure who those visits will be to.
"I don't know when it will all happen," Summers said. After the football year, we'll make the decision. The biggest factor will be if I get to play or not and how soon that will come."
There is another thing in common in the Summers' household: taking the championship this year.
"We've got the players this year," he said. "It's our year to take state. I know we can do it."
