Nation eyes SEC

Leeds (Ala.) running back Tre Nation has established himself as one of the top running backs in Alabama over the last few years, and he presents a well rounded skill set at 5-foot-11 and 220-pounds.

Offers have already arrived from Louisville, Cincinnati, Jacksonville State, Georgia Southern, Samford, Western Kentucky, South Alabama, North Alabama, Navy, and Southern Miss, and he has received interest from programs like Arkansas, Mississippi State, Alabama, and Georgia.

The summer months have been busy as Nation hit the camp circuit. His most recent stop was at the University of Arkansas.

"Well it's pretty nice," Nation said. "A new experience, some new drills, and as it went on I got better at them. I feel good about it."

Nation has also visited Alabama, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt and he admits a few programs are standing out.

"Louisville, Cincinnati, Arkansas, Alabama, and Georgia," Nation said. "First of all, a lot of the schools I went to have great education and put a lot behind it. So I feel like when I go off to school I won't have to worry about getting behind because they're going to stay on me and I'm going to stay on myself."

He also has an idea about when he would like to make his decision.

"Probably before the season or toward the middle of the season around my birthday October 21," Nation said.
