With 19 scholarship offers to contemplate, Morgan Newton has seen his recruiting stock continue to rise since leading Carmel High School to the Class 5A state title last fall.

The sought-after senior-to-be is considered a five-star prospect by scout .com and one of the nation's top quarterbacks in his class.

"I take some of this recruiting stuff, and I look at it, and then I'll take a break from it and then look at it, just so I don't get burned out with it," said Newton, who lists his current leaders as Clemson, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Miami, Purdue and South Carolina, in no particular order.
