Rivals250 OL to see Florida

Rivals250 offensive center/defensive tackle prospect Ben Habern sits at seven scholarship offers with another trip coming up.

The 6-foot-3, 260-pounder has been offered by Arizona, Miami, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech. One school that has yet to offer is Florida and Habern will be seeing what the Gators have to offer in just a few days.

"I'm going to Florida on Friday I think for the weekend," Habern said. "I'm pretty sure it's this weekend, but I have to check with my dad. It may be next week. Then I mght take some other visits later."

Habern says that with his offer count rising he is trying to get his choices narrowed down. That process has already begun and a few schools will definitely make his final list.

"Well, definitely Miami, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma," Habern said. "I haven't met with the Miami coaches yet, but the Notre Dame and Oklahoma coaches were the most impressive. I really liked both coaching staffs at both schools. The facilities at all those schools are impressive and the tradition is impressive too. Those are big factors."

Habern says that he'd like to start narrowing his list so he can make a decision somewhat early.

"I just want to make sure I commit before the summer," he said. "I don't want to worry about recruiting when I'm training over the summer and during next football season. I want to focus on football and everything so I would like to be committed by then."
