The University of Toledo football program picked up two more commitments for the 2011 recruiting class today. Johnson "Junior" Sylvestre (South Broward in Florida) and Chris Dukes (Colerain HS in Cincinnati, OH) gave their verbal commitments to Toledo.
Chris Dukes is a 3 star prospect on both Rivals.com and Scout.com. The 5-10, 184 pound defensive back runs a 4.43 forty yard dash. He chose Toledo over Boston College, Central Michigan, Louisville, Marshall, Ohio University, and Pittsburgh. He originally committed to Louisville in September, but decided to re-open his recruitment.
"Junior" Sylvestre is a 6-2, 205 pound defensive back from South Broward High School in Hollywood, FL. Sylvestre will likely play safety at Toledo. He played free safety and running back at South Broward. He averaged 8.7 yards per carry and had two rushing TD's as a backup running back at South Broward in 2010, while catching 10 passes for 149 yards and a TD. While I was not able to gather his defensive statistics, he was one of the leading tacklers on his team and he played in the Broward County Athletic Association All Star Game this past season as a safety.
It is unclear how many offers he had, but he did at least have offers from Toledo and FAU. He visited Toledo in January and will likely not make his visit to FAU later this month now that he has committed to Toledo.
At this point I would expect Toledo to secure commitments from a wide receiver and an offensive lineman yet. Massillon (OH) Washington three star wide receiver Justin Olack has been committed to Pittsburgh, however he visited Toledo over the weekend and is leaning towards signing with Toledo instead. One of the top options at offensive line for Toledo is Chicago (IL) St Rita OL Tim Gorski.
