Meet Byron Cowart: The No. 1 Ranked Recruit Who Is Catching All Sorts of Hell for Picking Auburn

Gator fans blast Byron Cowart, the No. 1 ranked recruit in the nation, for choosing Auburn over Florida.

It's National Signing Day, the annual televised hat fitting during which top high school recruits announce their respective college programs. It's also a day for college football fans to praise or accost freakishly athletic teenagers, depending on where these guys decide to continue their education play.


This morning, NFL-ready defensive end and No. 1 overall player on the ESPN 300, Byron Cowart (see highlights below), announced that he'll be playing at Auburn, a choice that surprised many in his native Florida, especially since the Gators were considered by some to be the front-runner entering Wednesday.

As Paul Finebaum's learned the hard way, hell hath no fury like an SEC fan scorned. As evidence, see the onslaught of tweets populating Cowart's now-defunct at mentions.
