TOP PROSPECT SIGNS WITH BOTH FLORIDA AND MIAMI

(AP) - Top offensive line prospect Jonathan Colon was apparently
so torn between the Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes that he
decided to sign with both schools. The 6-foot-7, 300-pound
youngster's indecision had both schools claiming Colon as theirs
Thursday. Colon, a tackle from Miami Central, announced Wednesday
that he had signed a national letter of intent with the Gators.
But Colon also signed hours earlier with Miami, Hurricanes coach
Butch Davis said. Because the Hurricanes were first, Davis said,
the Gators are out of luck. "It makes their letter void," he
said. But the Gators consider Colon committed to play for them,
said Jamie McCloskey, NCAA compliance officer at Florida. Carl
Hicks, assistant commissioner for the Southeastern Conference,
confirmed that the first national letter-of-intent signed in such
cases is binding.
