Two more major offers for Tell
Marvell Tell recently landed new offers from Oregon and Texas A&M and now the four-star safety wants to visit both powerhouses this offseason.
The Encino (Calif.) Crespi standout said he is highly interested in both programs and that each has been heavily recruiting him for some time.

"Oregon had been recruiting me for a little while," Tell said. "I've been on Twitter with coach (John) Neal back and forth for a couple months. They finally extended the offer to me.
"They explained one of the reasons they offered later than some others is because it's a big investment and they like to make the right choice. I understood that."
The Texas A&M coaches have stopped by Encino Crespi a few times and delivered the offer after watching a recent workout.
"Texas A&M has been by the school a couple times and they came to see me practice on Friday morning," Tell said. "We were on the field and afterward they extended the offer as well.
"I definitely have both of them in my mind. I'm interested in both schools since they're both top, high-level Division I football programs. I'm going to keep a good eye on them and look to take a visit to both schools when I get out of school.
"I'm going to try to get to both schools and see what we can do."
The 6-foot-3, 185-pound prospect who's rated as the fifth-best safety in the 2015 class by Rivals.com said it's too early to figure out any official visits yet. Tell said he's still planning to commit much closer to National Signing Day.
Plenty of programs have been involved with Tell and it's believed USC, UCLA and Washington State among others are definitely under serious consideration. Oregon and Texas A&M looks to be joining that top group.
