South Carolina OL has an offer
Irmo (S.C.) offensive lineman Benji Inabinet currently holds one scholarship offer and is getting attention from a number of other programs.
"Middle Tennessee State has made it quite clear that they want me and they have offered me a scholarship," Inabinet said.

Georgia Tech also has been showing interest in the 6-foot-4, 267-pounder.
"I went on an unofficial visit to Georgia Tech," he said. "They told me if a scholarship happens to open up that they are going to offer me.
"Same thing with Clemson and South Carolina. Like with Clemson, they told me that the same thing happened with Jamal Medlin last year. He didn't get his offer until the Shrine Bowl."
Maryland and Virginia Tech also are showing strong interest.
"Coach Mike O'Cain at Virginia Tech told me that if I do well at their camp, then they are going to offer me a scholarship," he said.
Should the Tigers, Gamecocks or Yellow Jackets come through with an offer, it would be hard for Inabinet to turn down.
"Basically, I'm hoping a local school (Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia Tech) will take me and if they do offer me, I'll commit," he said.
Justin Watts is recruiting Inabinet for Middle Tennessee State. Brian Jean-Mary for Georgia Tech, Al Seamonson for Maryland, Brad Scott and Billy Napier for Clemson and Robert Gillespie for South Carolina.
Inabinet, who had a solid showing at the Athens NIKE Camp in April, has been working hard to prepare for the forthcoming season.
"I've just been working on my weightlifting and trying to get better," he said.
