First-year USF coach Skip Holtz and his staff are four days from kickoff.

They are also busy hauling in new commitments in the 2011 recruiting class.

The latest players to commit to the Bulls are Oak Ridge (N.C.) Military Academy LB Antoine Pozniak, a 6-foot-3, 220-pounder with above-average athleticism, and Wellington OL Brynjar Gudmunsson, who registers at 6-3, 265 pounds.

The addition of Pozniak and Gudmunsson gives the Bulls 13 verbal commitments in next year’s class, a fast start for Holtz and Co. in building their first class at USF from start to finish.

Pozniak said he plans to enroll in January once his season at Oak Ridge is completed.

“When I get there I will play wherever I am needed,’’ he told USFBullsEye.com. “I haven’t really had any problem putting on size. I will leave it up to the coaches to decide.”

Pozniak told the website that he selected USF over schools such as Oregon, Syracuse and San Diego State.

Meanwhile, Gudmunsson told Scout.com that he chose USF over UCF, Marshall and Florida International.

“I wanted to make an early decision and South Florida has really been where my mind has been at,” Gudmunsson told USFNation.com. “I can’t think of another school that I would rather be at. I’ve wanted to tell them that they were my choice for some time.”

Gudmunsson is the fourth offensive line to commit.

Pozniak and Gudmunsson join Pahokee LB Rontavious Atkins, Sebring LB Zach Bullock, Cape Coral LB/DE Edsel Caprice, Stone Mountain (Ga.) RB Willie Davis, Milton QB Matt Floyd, Land O’ Lakes QB Stephen Weatherford, Tallahassee Lincoln DB Chris Garye Jr., Lake Region OL Thor Jozwiak, Punta Gorda Charlotte WR Alex Mut, Orlando Boone OL Max Lang, and Bay Minette (Ala.) OL David Simon as verbal pledges for 2011.
