Mama looking at some leaders

Damien Mama has loaded up with offers recently but there are still programs out there that are talking to the Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco offensive lineman and have not yet offered.
There is one SEC school in particular that is staying in close touch with the 6-foot-5, 360-pound four-star recruit who has shined at recent camps.

"Out of the schools that haven't offered it's been Tennessee," Mama said. "I've been talking a lot with them but I've been keeping in contact with a lot of schools."
San Diego State and San Jose State are the newest offers for Mama but neither seems to be a serious contender in his recruitment.
It's still really early for Mama but he said Washington, USC, Ole Miss, UCLA and Arizona State are probably the most active in sending him recruiting letters and staying in contact.
"UCLA has been staying in a lot of contact," Mama said. "There have been a lot of schools sending mail lately."
The four-star who's rated as the No. 227 prospect in the 2014 class by Rivals.com said he plans to narrow his focus shortly and that Alabama, USC, Notre Dame, Ole Miss and Washington are among the schools that will make his first round of cuts.
It has become no secret that USC will maintain a high standing with Mama, who grew up cheering for the Trojans and whose family has lived close to campus and have been lifelong fans.
Mama has visited USC multiple times and he has a former teammate, four-star offensive tackle Nico Falah, in his ear about playing for the Trojans.
There was some speculation that Mama would have committed to USC soon after getting his offer but the four-star said he plans to take his time and think things through before making any decisions.
"They're up there among my top choices," Mama said. "They're a top choice but I'm staying open. They'll be up there when I decide. I think I'm probably going to narrow it down soon."
In total, Mama lists offers from Alabama, Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, Cal, Colorado, Florida State, Fresno State, Hawaii, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Nevada, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon State, San Diego State, San Jose State, UCLA, USC, Utah, Washington and Washington State.
