TE Hiben talks time frame

Waconia, (Minn.) three star ranked tight end prospect Joey Hiben (6-foot-5, 235 pounds) is less than a week away from the start of his senior season, and Hiben talks about his recruiting as well as a new position he'll play this fall.

"I've been just getting ready for my season, which starts on Friday," Joey Hiben said. "I'm going to get a chance to play tailback this year as well as defensive end. Tailback is definitely something new for me, but I'm getting more and more comfortable with the position this summer."

Hiben also talked about his latest recruiting news.

"I've been giving my recruiting more and more thought over the last few weeks. I would say that my Top 4 schools would be Notre Dame, Stanford, Purdue and Minnesota at this point. If I had to name a fifth school, it would be Illinois. At this point, all five schools look really good and each school has a lot to offer both academically as well as from a football standpoint."

Hiben also talked his time frame for making his final decision.

"It looks like I won't be making my final decision until after the season starts, but I also won't drag things out for too long. I'm just going to take some time and make sure that once I make my final choice, I'm solid in my decision."
