More offers for defensive tackle
Apple Valley, Minn., defensive lineman Trevor Laws has firm scholarship offers from Iowa, Michigan, Notre Dame and Minnesota. It appears the list will not stop with those four schools.
“Purdue said that they were going to offer,” Laws’ mother said about other offers. “He wrote us in a letter, that they are working on an offer. We have never gotten it. It is probably slow in coming.”

His mother received a phone call yesterday from Stanford. They told her that they might be offering him soon.
“That is an awfully long ways away for his mother,” she said about Stanford. “Mom will have to step aside and do what is best for the son.”
Laws has made unofficial visits to Notre Dame, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Michigan made an impression on her son.
“At Michigan he was real impressed with the stadium,” his mother said. “He was real impressed with the coaching staff. They were very gracious to him. All of the kids around here want to go to Michigan.”
However, other schools are not out of the picture.
“The more that he saw other schools, the more he realized he didn't want to make a decision so quickly,” she said. “He loves Notre Dame. His interest has expanded. He is interested in Ohio State and he is interested in Stanford. The city in Iowa was very nice and the coaches there were very nice.”
Coaches from Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, USC, Alabama, Purdue, Colorado, Notre Dame, Stanford, Kansas, Air Force Academy, Wyoming and Nebraska have visited with Law's high school coach during the month of May.
The 6-foot-3, 285 pound defensive tackle plans making one-day summer camps to Michigan and Ohio State. He might attend a few more.
He played both offensive and defensive tackle full-time as a junior.
“I think that I had like 35 pancakes,” he said.
On defense he had approximately 70 tackles, six sacks, three caused fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
