"Right now Nebraska is my No. 1 choice. So far they've shown the most interest.
"Behind them is Ohio State, then Minnesota, then Clemson.
"I'm trying to go out-of-state. I've been in Florida my whole life. I'm looking to explore new places.
"I hope to start setting up my official visits in July or August. So far the two definites are Nebraska and Ohio State.
