Cowboys in on DeMario Pressley
Greensboro (N.C.) Dudley defensive tackle DeMario Pressley changes his list quite often. The latest team to make a push is the Oklahoma State Cowboys. How serious is he about the Big 12?
"I like Oklahoma State and have for a few months now," said the 6-foot-4, 285-pounder, who is ranked as the No. 1 defensive tackle in the country by Rivals.com. "I don't have a visit set with them or anything, but I'm thinking about taking a trip out there."

Pressley still has only two official visits scheduled -- to NC State this weekend (Dec. 5) and to North Carolina on Jan. 9. The other teams in contention are the Cowboys, Florida State, Tennessee, Virginia and Southern Cal.
"I've dropped Miami, Georgia and Virginia Tech," he said. "It came down to narrowing my list a bit and I had to drop some teams. I don't really care if I stay in state or leave, I just want a good fit. I'm pretty sure I'll visit FSU, but the other two trips are still up in the air."
And who is his favorite?
"I don't have one," he laughed. "Even between the in-state schools, I don't have a favorite. NC State and UNC are equal in my mind, like all the others."
Pressley's teammates, running back Jamaal Edwards and defensive back Martel Thatch are already committed. Are they working on the big man for their schools?
"Yeah, Martel talks about UNC and all and Jamaal has been talking FSU," he said. "But neither of them is pushing me, they know I need to do what I need to do."
