Jeremy Kelly is not announcing any frontrunners until he takes some more visits but Washington is one school that is definitely under serious consideration.

Kelly's brother, Jermaine, plays for the Huskies so the three-star athlete from Los Angeles (Calif.) Salesian said playing together again is a major plus.
"You look at Washington and they're always on the rise," Kelly said. "I talk to my brother every day and he's trying to get me to go there all the time. I told him I wasn't taking any visits in the spring and he told me he's going to fly me out to Washington so we'll see what happens with that.
"My brother and I only played together once and we made magic that time. Of course he wants me to get back and do that again."
The 6-foot, 168-pound prospect who has had a strong offseason was supposed to visit Cal recently but couldn't make the trip to Berkeley. Kelly, who could play defensive back or receiver, said he has a lot of interest in the Golden Bears especially if he were to play offense.
"I still like Cal a lot," Kelly said. "If you look at their receivers, Keenan Allen, and you look at Bryce Treggs and all those guys, they do a lot of good things. You can tell Erik Brown is going to make magic up there."
So far, Kelly has been offered by Arizona State, Cal, Colorado, Nevada, San Diego State, San Jose State, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.
More could be on the way. Duke and Fresno State seem close to offering the Salesian standout and Oregon is expected to visit his school later this month.
If the Ducks offer, they could move way up his list.
"I've been hearing a lot from Duke and Oregon, still Oregon," Kelly said. "They said they're going to come the week of May 21 and probably extend an offer then.
"That would be huge. You look at everything they've done the past couple years, always in BCS contention. That would be huge."
