However, if he could set his official visits today, he would go to:

Washington: "I want to meet the coach."

Clemson: "They run the same offense that we do, and I want to meet the coach."

Oklahoma: "I want to meet the coach."

Miami: "They're the national champions."

Kentucky: "My Dad is an alumnus, so I want to see what the school's like, and I really liked Couch when he played there."

Skinny: "I'm smart and I understand the game well. Physically my height, speed, and I have good vision for the reads."

When asked what type of player he would describe himself as: "Two words.... Roger Staubauch."

Distance will not really be a factor. "I'm looking at the academic curriculum, campus atmosphere, and the coach's attitude and style."

He hasn't attended any camps, but he did get to accompany a teammate to an all-star practice in San Antonio.

He plans to attend the SMU one day camp, the May 4 Nike camp, and possibly the Clemson camp.

His dream school would be Miami, while his Dad's would probably be Kentucky, as that's where he went to college.

He plans to major in engineering or business and has set his sports goal as a state championship.

He would like to play against his former position coach and James Battle on the way to that championship.

He named Quintilly Harmon of Jacksonville High School as his toughest opposing player.
