Tatum close to more visit dates

Fort Worth (Texas) Dunbar three-star safety Brandon Tatum made a huge play on Friday night that should go down as one of the most impressive highlights in the Metroplex for the entire season. In the waning moments of a game against Western Hills, Tatum picked off a pass eight yards deep in the end zone and took it all the way back for an 108-yard touchdown return.

“I knew he was going to throw it that receiver, so I baited him, and the quarterback threw it to the receiver,” Tatum, who is 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds, said.

“I stepped in front of it and I was gone. My middle linebacker was in front of me trying to make a block, but he missed it, and I hade to make a move on the quarterback. Once I did, I was gone.”

Plays like that have caught the eyes of college coaches all over the nation.

Tatum said he still has one official visit to Arizona lined up for December 10. He’s also close to setting one up for Arkansas for January 21 – the following weekend of the U.S. Army All-America game.

“I’m probably going to also visit Wisconsin now. They’re playing really good ball, and they have done pretty good with kids from Dunbar before.”

Tatum had listed Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Kansas and Missouri in the past.
