Miami leads slightly over Ohio State, Penn State, Florida, Rutgers and Illinois. All of his favorites have offered as well as Oklahoma, Maryland, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Oregon, Boston College and others.

""Ohio State was the first school to offer me," Givens said. "I'm going to their spring game on April 19 and I really like the coaches there. They seem really great. I also like the players they have and I'm friends with Jamie Wood (safety from Pickerington Central High School, Ohio) and he's already committed there. We talk a lot and he really wants me to go to Ohio State too so we can play together."

Givens also already attended junior days at Penn State, Rutgers, Boston College and local favorite Maryland, but he says he would prefer to leave the state. "I'd like to leave home and get away," he said.

"Penn State was real nice and I liked touring the campus," he said. "It's real big and they have like 40,000 students that go there. I'm going to their camp on May 10.

"Rutgers is another family-oriented place and I felt real comfortable there," Givens said. "I think I'd be able to go there and play right away."
