"Right now Florida is my favorite school, then Miami. And I'm looking at possibly Auburn, South Florida, and Illinois."
"I'm going to Florida's camp this summer, then take my visits in January."
"I would like to visit Illinois. I've never been to the Midwest. It wouldn't bother me to go up there to Illinois. I like their coaches and the offense they run."
