Rivals100 defensive back AJ Lytton releases his top five

Rivals100 defensive back AJ Lytton promised that there would be some big news on Friday so as a preamble the Upper Marlboro (Md.) Wise star released his top five.

Penn State, Clemson, Maryland, Florida State, and Alabama all made Lytton's top five. Florida State has long been considered his leader but Maryland is very much in the conversation. Alabama is one of Lytton's most recent offers and his relationship with coach Mike Locksley brings some level of familiarity. Clemson and Penn State have been working hard to make bigger impressions on Lytton and Clemson is trying to get him on campus next week.
