Alton Meeks 6'2" 220 lbs, class of 2013 Quarterback - Boone High School in Orlando. Ranked three star.

He;s a pocket passer but can trow on the run. Biggest issue is throwing mechanics but he is big and physical. He can take a hit and break tackles.

In addition to QB looks like he plays LB on defense.

Here's an article with more detail regarding Meek's declaration.

Meeks... held offers from the likes of Florida State, Michigan State, Arizona State, Minnesota, Illinois, Duke, Connecticut, and South Florida.

On Sunday, Meeks talked about his decision to make the pledge to the Bearcat football program.

“I’ve liked Cincinnati ever since the first time I went up there,” said Meeks. “For me, it’s more about the people you’re going to be with. You can get great facilities anywhere. Any division one program is going to have nice facilities. It just comes down to the people and the coaches that are there. That’s what I like the most about Cincinnati.”
