SoCal three-star is picking up steam
The future is beginning to look very bright for three-star cornerback Jonathan Mack (5-10, 175, 4.5) from Colton, Calif. Though he has only been playing football since his junior season, he has already picked up three offers.
Mack has offers on the table from Iowa State, Nebraska and UNLV. He is getting recruiting attention from San Diego State, Utah and Arizona.

"It made me feel great and I was excited," Mack said about his first offer from Nebraska. "I don't know a lot about Nebraska, but I am looking forward to learn about them.
"I don't know a lot about Iowa State either," Mack said about his second offer from the Cyclones. "I know that they are in the Big 12 and I'm looking forward to finding out about them, too.
"UNLV was a surprise offer," Mack said. "I didn't even know I had an offer from them until my coach told me.
"I don't have a timeframe to set up visits."
What is Mack looking for in a school?
"I'm looking for a school that has a good fan base, a good college environment and a good education."
In an earlier interview with Rivals.com Colton head coach, Harold Strauss, predicted that his corner would have several schools to choose from and he gave reasons why.
"Jonathan has great hops and has great instincts for the ball," Strauss said. "His break on the ball is unbelievable. He reminds people of (Arizona cornerback) Devin Ross, but he's bigger, more physical and quicker than Devin was at the same stage.
"Jonathan is an outstanding athlete," Strauss said. "He is one of the best basketball players in the school and has a great vertical. He also participates in track.
"He just has natural skills as a football player. There is no doubt that his best days as a football are ahead of him.
Mack has excellent bloodlines as his older brother is UCLA junior running back, Christian Ramirez, who is slated to be the starter this fall.
Mack earned all-league in his first season on the gridiron after accounting for 45 tackles and seven interceptions.
