Two
weeks of successful summer camps earlier this month yielded four verbal
commitments for MTSU football, including two pivotal players from Tennessee and
two from Georgia.
Shelbyville
High running back Marquis Morton and Alcoa offensive lineman Dalton Ownby is
the lastest to join two Georgia products, quarterback A.J. Erdely and kicker
Canon Rooker.
Ownby, a 6-foot-3, 290-pounder, worked out at MTSU’s Big
Man & Kicking Camp on Saturday. He plays tackle for Alcoa, where he won
state titles as a freshman and sophomore, but he will likely serve as offensive
guard at MTSU.

Morton (5-11, 180lbs) went to MTSU’s Friday Night Lights
skills camp. He amassed 1,288 rushing yards, 285 receiving yards and 24 total
touchdowns as the District 8-AAA MVP last season at Shelbyville.
Erdely was at MTSU’s June 2 Elite Camp. As a junior last
season, he passed for more than 1,600 yards, 17 TDs and five interceptions and
rushed for more than 500 yards and five scores in a wing-T offense while
leading West Forsyth (Ga.) High to an 11-2 record.

| Cannon Rocker |
Rocker, a kicker from Richmond Hills (Ga.) High,
called his commitment “a very easy decision.” Rocker has made only 4-of-6 field
goals over the last two seasons, but he has impressed recruiting services and
MTSU coaches in workouts.
MTSU
coaches and squad can really use some help in 2013 with these prospects. MTSU
is coming off an dis-appointing season last fall and looking to rebound as a
football program.
