"As of now I have offers from Minnesota and Iowa State," McWhirter said. "And I've had steady contact from Michigan State, Iowa, Nebraska, and Notre Dame. Those are the main ones. And Northwestern also.
"Right now I'm still pretty open. I visited some junior days at Iowa, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Minnesota, and Northwestern. I've been to quite a few.
"I signed up for the Iowa camp June 4. I'm trying to decide what other ones to go to. I think I'll go to about four more."
