Leslie to hit road
Safety prospect Brandon Leslie (6-1, 195, 4.6) from Fresno (Calif.) Edison was so impressive as a sophomore that he has three offers on the table and he didn't play his junior season. The talented safety has a busy agenda coming up that could see his offers rise.
Leslie has three offers on the table from Stanford, Washington and Nebraska.

This coming weekend there is a good chance that Arizona will offer Leslie while he is in Tucson taking an unofficial visit to the Wildcat campus with his teammate, cornerback Robert Golden.
The very next weekend after Leslie visits Arizona, he will head for the Midwest with Edison defensive back coach Tony Perry on April 20th to take in Notre Dame's spring game on the 21st.
There is a very good chance that Leslie will get an offer from the Irish on that trip too.
There has been speculation that Leslie will make an early commitment but would possibly take other visits but that's not the case.
"There's a possibility that I will make an early commitment this summer, if not by summer then by late September," Leslie said. "I want to take a few trips before I commit because when I commit I'm done with my recruitment.
"Once I give my word to a school that I'm going there my recruitment ends there," Leslie said. "All three schools that have offered, I'm interested in plus Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Arizona, Oregon and UCLA.
"UCLA may turn into my next offer," Leslie said. "I was at their practice Saturday and I spoke with coach DeWayne Walker and coach Gary DeLoach who recruits my area.
"Coach Walker just wants to see some sophomore tape because I didn't' play as a junior," Leslie said. "That's okay because I had a good sophomore team and I made all-everything.
Leslie is planning on attending the NIKE Camp in Palo Alto in May.
