 Another one of Manatee's touted defensive linemen has made a verbal committment.
This time it is junior Demarcus Christmas, who will commit to Florida State, according to Manatee assistant coach Chris Conboy.
He began starting midway through last season when DeAngelo Dawes couldn't play because of age restrictions. Christmans finished the year with two sacks and 42 tackles.
Though he is the youngest member of the line, which is considered one of the best in the nation, Christmas has already received a dozen offers from the likes of Miami, Mississippi State and South Carolina.
Christmas had a sack and 12 tackles entering Friday's game against Southeast.
Manatee defensive end Blake Keller committed to UCF during the summer.
