Several Midwest Juniors Score New Offers By Allen Trieu
Midwest Recruiting Analyst
Posted Feb 3, 2009

Even with Signing Day right around the corner, colleges are still finding time for the 2010 class as several junior days have recently taken place and with them, a number of offers have been handed out to the 2010 class. Here is all the latest from the Midwest.

Quote:

The Green and White were the first school to offer Warren Mott DE/TE C.J. Olaniyan. The 6'5, 230-lb Olaniyan was an All-State selection this year after recording 14 sacks off the edge. He is a prospect we are very high on.

Warren (Mich.) Mott defensive end C.J. Olaniyan, who has a scholarship offer on the table from the Nittany Lions, visited Penn State in March. Four months later Olaniyan, remains interested in PSU.

“They are pretty high on my list,” Olaniyan said. “I like them a lot.”

Olaniyan visited Penn State in late March, met a number of the Nittany Lions’ coaches and was given a tour.

Kurelic’s Comment: Olaniyan has never seemed overly excited about the two Big Ten in-state schools, Michigan and Michigan State. The Nittany Lions appear to have as good a shot as anyone.

Defensive end C.J. Olaniyan (Warren, Mich./Mott) said early last week that he was close to naming his top five or six choices and would do so by the end of the week.

Olaniyan now says he has decided on his finalists, but is not quite ready to release it.

“I have it, but my coach has to send an e-mail to all the schools so I have to wait until he does that,” Olaniyan said. “These will probably be my final six or seven schools. He’ll send the e-mail out next week.”

Olaniyan has 26 scholarship offers, including one from Penn State. His other offers include Michigan, Michigan State, Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, Virginia Tech, Maryland and Kentucky.
