Sacramento TE nearing decision
Tight end Asante-Jabari Cleveland (6-5, 235, 4.75) from Sacramento (Calif.) Christian Brothers has three offers on the table and he could be nearing decision pretty soon. Whoever lands Cleveland will be getting a player with a tremendous upside.
Cleveland has offers from Nevada, Washington State and San Diego State. He has already unofficially visited both Washington State and San Diego State while this evening (Thursday August 13th) he will be visiting Nevada.

Besides Nevada, Washington State and San Diego State, Cleveland attended Cal's Skills camp this summer and took an unofficial visit to UCLA.
"Cal's skill camp was alright, but they didn't offer," Cleveland said. "I felt I performed pretty well. They told me that they wanted to follow me through my senior year.
"I liked my visit to UCLA," Cleveland said. "I was able to see the campus and took a tour. They were pretty nice.
"I was able to meet and talk to Coach Rick Neuheisel," Cleveland said. "He said that UCLA likes me a lot, but they want to see how I do my senior year.
"I really liked my visit to Washington State," Cleveland said. "I was able to meet Coach Paul Wulff and their offensive coordinator, Todd Sturdy. I was also able to meet and talk to the players at Washington State and I liked the campus.
"I also liked my visit to San Diego State," Cleveland said. "The campus was huge. I liked Coach Dan Ferrigno. I think he's really cool.
"I'm going to commit before my first game," Cleveland said. "I'm still working out who it will be."
