Dunedin RB Bellamy will be a Bull

Adaris Bellamy's recruiting process ended early when he committed to USF on Saturday, coach Mark Everett said. Bellamy, a senior-to-be, decided at the Bulls' junior day despite offers from Clemson and Ole Miss. Bellamy is USF's first commit for the 2009 recruiting class. In 2007, he set Dunedin's single-season rushing record with more than 1,900 yards.
