"I get mail from Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Boston College, Miami of Ohio, Cincinnati, Miami of Florida, that's about it so far," Justin Boren said. "And Northwestern and Indiana.
"Ohio State has offered me.
"I've been to three Michigan games and one Ohio State game. I went to the Ohio State-Indiana game."
Asked if he has a favorite, Boren said, "Ohio State and Michigan, I'm pretty interested in both. But I wouldn't say I have a favorite.
"My dad played up at Michigan, but Ohio State started recruiting me as a sophomore."
