Texas called me Monday. So did Georgia Tech and [Pitt] coach [Dave] Wannstedt called, too. I don't have Pitt on my final list, but he said they're still going to try and recruit me. I like Pitt's coaching staff a lot, but I just don't want to be that close to home. I just want to be farther away. But not too far, either.

On Saturday, I'm going to Penn State for the Notre Dame game. I've been to Penn State before, but I want to see what the crowd is like for that game.

I'll probably meet with the coaches at Penn State. Myself and Mike Matt [Jeannette fullback-linebacker] are going up. His dad is driving us.

I'm probably going to narrow down my list [of colleges] soon. I've decided my first two official visits are to Ohio State and West Virginia. I'm going to Ohio State for the Wisconsin game [Nov. 3]. I'm not totally sure when I'm going to West Virginia. It might be for a Thursday night game.
