Five-star to release top list

Caleb Kelly plans to release an updated top seven this week and then he will start to seriously focus even more on scheduling official visits.

The five-star linebacker from Fresno (Calif.) Clovis West also plans to visit Oregon and Notre Dame in the coming weeks which could provide a glance at some favorites.

"At the end of July I'll be going to Notre Dame and Oregon and that's pretty much all I have set right now," Kelly said.

"I'll post the top seven on Twitter so everybody can see it. I don't know when I'm going to release it but if they have a media day (at The Opening) then I'll release it then."

Rated as the second-best prospect in California by Rivals.com, Kelly currently has a top list of Alabama, Cal, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, UCLA and USC but he has admitted recently that things change all the time especially with new schools getting involved.

Kelly did not want to provide many hints about which programs would make his new top list but many of the regulars are expected to stay.

"There will be a lot that have been there the whole time," Kelly said.

As for official visits, those are still undetermined. Kelly is working with 7-on-7 coach Tony Perry on a schedule this fall but the five-star is not in a rush since a commitment is not coming for months.

"I've been talking with Perry and he has five schools he wants me to visit," Kelly said. "My mom and I have five schools we want to visit so we've been talking about it.

"Everybody has been telling me that I was going to change and I was going to commit early but I just want to be as sure as possible. I'm still shooting for signing day."
