Okoroha takes his final official
Four-star safety Okechuckwu Okoroha took his third and possible final official visit over the weekend. The Greenbelt (Md.) Eleanor Roosevelt prospect fought through the weather and took an abbreviated trip to Boston College.
"We left early because the storm was about to hit," he said. "I left there on Saturday afternoon and was up for less than 24 hours.

"I liked it though, it was fun. I got to hang out with the players and they were all really cool. I stayed in the dorms and just chilled. One of the players was telling me stories about what happened during the season, they all made it fun."
Okoroha met with a few of the players.
"They all were really good guys," he said. "I got to hang out with Will Thompson and another recruit. We all went over to Clarence Megwa's house and played Madden. DeLeone Gause talked to me for awhile and he basically just told me to follow my heart and be smart.
"That was a lot of fun and the campus and facilities were nice."
Before heading out, the 6-foot-0, 183-pounder met up with Jeff Jagodzinski.
"Coach Jags is a straight shooter," he said. "He's not going to sugarcoat anything. He'll let you know how it is and is a really good guy. I like him. He had good things to say and was cracking jokes, but he can get serious too."
The Eagles are one of three teams leading for Okoroha along with Illinois and Virginia. What's next?
"Right now I'm thinking about things," he said. "I'm trying to go through all three of these schools and will probably make a decision sometime. I don't have a timetable on a decision.
"Right now I'm not planning to take two more visits, but we'll see I still could."
