Texan gets Minnesota offer
Mansfield (Texas) Summit outside linebacker Deon Hightower has seen his stock shoot through the roof the last few weeks and he’s now sitting at three scholarship offers, including ones from teams in the Big 10 and in the Big 12.
“I just got offered by Minnesota yesterday,” Hightower, a two-star linebacker that is 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, said. “I’m going to take a visit up there next weekend. I still also have offers from Tulsa and Kansas, too.”

Hightower is set to visit Minnesota on December 12 and then Kansas and Tulsa some time in January. He said he’s now leaning toward Minnesota, but don’t consider him a lock.
“I’m not going to rush my decision, but I’m not going to drag it out,” he said. “Minnesota is high on my list. It’s in the Big 10, it’s a good team and coach Mason is a very good coach.”
Minnesota is coming by for an in-home visit this upcoming weekend and Tulsa is due in the home Wednesday or Thursday.
