R250 TE up to four offers
Right in the midst of the northern New Jersey recruiting hotbed lies Bergenfield (N.J.). It's not a traditional stop for college coaches during recruiting trips to the area but 2016 Rivals250 tight end Jovani Haskins as been drawing offers and attention from many of the nation's top programs.
"My coach has been getting phone calls everyday from school like Ohio State, Oregon, Purdue, Wisconsin, Nebraska and some others," said the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Haskins. "I've been getting a lot of game invites so I still need to figure out which ones I can get to."

"I love all the facilities at Rutgers," he said. "To be honest, I'm not sure where I want to go yet. I love that all these schools are showing interest in me. It's been a blast. I'm just going to ride it out and make my decision later.
"It was very exciting to get an offer from Ole Miss," Haskins said. "It was great to know that they believe in me. I just need to keep working hard to play at that level.
"Syracuse has been giving me the most interest," he said. "I love all their facilities and the coach over there. Boston College is probably one of my top interests."
Penn State has had a lot of success recruiting New Jersey and Haskins is already on their radar.
"I really liked Penn State's facilities when I was up there for the camp," said Haskins. "The coach and I had a good connection."
Haskins' cousin Dwayne Haskins Jr. is a member of the 2016 Rivals100 and the two are starting to talk more and more about recruiting.
"Since I've been picking up offer, we've been staying in touch more," he said. "I think his top school is Ohio State so we'll see what happens."
Haskins is currently ranked as the No. 11 tight end in the country and No. 232 in the Rivals250.
