He may be committed to West Virginia but that's not going to stop 2015 Miami (Fla.) Jackson athlete Jovon Durante from trying to add to his offer list.

"I'm hoping to get an offer and impress everybody, especially Coach Jimbo Fisher," Durante said Wednesday at the Seminoles camp. "I just want to come out there and do what I do best."
Durante claims early offers from the Mountaineers, as well as Pittsburgh, Alabama, Miami and USF and said schools like Louisville are showing strong interest.
While he's still looking around, Durante said his next visit will be to West Virginia, where he's hoping to connect with his future coaches.
"I'm going on a visit to see West Virginia July 27," he said. "I'm hoping to see a nice coaching staff that will show me around and tell me everything about classes and what to expect when I get there. I want to see how the weight room session are and how they run the program."
He added that West Virginia shouldn't be worried just because he's camping at other schools.
"I always tell the West Virginia fans that they're my No. 1 school," Durante said. "I'm going to come to West Virginia and be a Mountaineer."
With the recent success of players from Florida, Durante said he was comfortable making the decision to go so far from home.
"The two people form Florida I think about are Geno Smith and Stedman Bailey," he said. "They came from Florida, went to West Virginia and went to the league. West Virginia sends talent to the NFL and that's important."
