Colerain OL wants to pick by end of year

Cincinnati (Ohio) Colerain offensive guard Brandon Kluener is one of the better line prospects in Cincinnati. The 6-foot-4, 280-pounder plays for one of the top programs in the state, and he's getting plenty of recruiting attention from schools all over the Midwest.

"I've been hearing the most from Eastern Michigan and Boston College," he said.

"I have one offer from Bowling Green. I was going to go there, but after visiting there I just didn't like it. So right now it's probably just Eastern Michigan and Boston College."

Kluener managed to also check out a few camps this summer.

"I went to camps at Eastern Michigan and Cincinnati," he said. "They went well. At Eastern Michigan they brought me into the player's lounge, and I talked to the head coach for a little bit. At Cincinnati, they've already offered another offensive lineman, so they have a full roster of offensive lineman."

Kluener said he does have a time table for making a final decision.

"I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the season," he said.

Speaking of the season, Colerain looks to be loaded again this season and the expectations are just as big as ever.

"We're hoping to go to state this year," he said. "We won regionals last year and lost in the final four. This year we are returning our whole offensive line and four or five players on defense. I think we have a great shot at winning it all.

"Personally, I want to get all-state and be all-conference."
