New Bulls: Michael Durr
When Michael Durr committed to South Florida he became the second member of head coach Brian Gregory’s 2018 recruiting class.
Durr faced some adversity in his senior year when, less than a month after he committed to USF, his head coach at Oldsmar Christian exited the school. Durr bounced to Victory Rock Prep (Bradenton, Fla.) and had a solid season and through it all, the Georgia native remained solidly in the Bulls’ corral.
