"I'm real interested in Miami, Purdue, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Akron."
Bruton has visited several schools and has other trips planned.
"Last Saturday I was at Notre Dame's camp," he said. "This Monday I'm going to Cincinnati's camp. June 23 I go to Ohio State's camp.
"I went to spring games and junior days at Miami and Akron."
Bruton plans to select a college before his senior football season starts.
"I plan on deciding sometime this summer," he said. "Right now I don't have a favorite."
The 6-foot-2 and 201-pound Bruton caught nine passes for just over 200 yards during his junior season. He also made 53 tackles.
"Most schools are recruiting me as a tight end or receiver," Bruton said. "But Purdue says linebacker. I prefer to stay on the offensive side of the ball."
