Columbus (Ohio) Brookhaven offensive lineman Mark Jackson has two Big Ten schools at the top of his list and he mentions a couple of others as well.

"It's pretty much Minnesota and Michigan State the top two on my list," Jackson said. "As of right now those two are my strong interest.

"I'm going to Minnesota when they play Ohio State, Oct. 29 I think. That's an official visit.

"I haven't set up an official visit to Michigan State yet. But I'm going to.

"Both those schools offered (a scholarship).

"Michigan and Ohio State are still calling. Michigan has offered."
