Defensive lineman Jordan Sherit will be among 150 elite high school players taking part in Nike's "The Opening" 2012 camp next month in Oregon.

football standout Jordan Sherit is among the country's top players who will "just do it" at a prestigious Nike camp next month.

Sherit, a 6-foot-4, 238-pound defensive lineman, has been invited to take part in Nike's "The Opening" 2012 camp from July 5-8 at the company's headquarters in Beaverton, OR, Bright House Sports Network reports.

Sherit, a rising senior, about the many big-time college programs that have him on their radar. He's already received 35 Division I offers, BHSN reports, and lists Stanford, Notre Dame and Florida are among his 10 favorites. Sherit has already visited Florida, Miami, USF, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt, according to BHSN, and has upcoming trips planned for Florida State, Georgia and Clemson.

Sherit will have another chance to flash his skills at next month's camp, where "every aspect of the game will be put to the test by the world’s top players and coaches," according to The Opening website. Nike invites 150 of the country's top recruits to learn from NFL stars such as Jerry Rice, Ndamukong Suh and Ray Rice in a variety of drills and competitions.

Also joining Sherit in Oregon, BNSN reports, will be three other Tampa Bay area stars — Wharton's Vernon Hargreaves III, St. Petersburg Catholic's Ryan Green and Armwood's Leon McQuay III and Alvin Bailey.

How cool would it be to learn football from Jerry Rice?

Yes, Page--I love the idea of a little fresh foods market...prepared foods, produce...it would be soRead More nice to have a place to walk to with the kids in the late afternoon, pick up a snack and some veggies for that night's dinner...a place with outdoor seating that would be a neighborhood gathering spot. A place that would become a 3x a week stop for neighbors, a place people enjoy "running up" to. I'm excited to see what happens!

I would love to see a small market in the neighborhood also. With fresh produce, and other basicRead More necessities for cooking, that you might have just run out of or forgot to pick up when you did your weekly shopping. Plus a nice selection of wine. Circle K has a good selection of beer, but there isn't a good selection of wines in the neighborhood for takeaway.

I would like to see another Family Dollar. One on every corner is not enough.
