"Recruiting is going great," Askew stated. "I just picked up two more offers from Illinois and South Carolina. Now I have them from Virginia Tech, NC State, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Maryland, Clemson, Tennessee, Illinois, and South Carolina."

He's attended Junior Day at Maryland and was a visitor for West Virginia's Sring Game.

"I liked Maryland's facilities," said Askew. "The coaches were great and the players were excellent. We talked to them about how the school is and what it was like playing there.

"West Virginia was awesome. The fans were crazy... they love football down there. It was a nice place. I really thought it was going to be in the middle of nowhere but it was nice to be there in the mountains."

Askew secured his first offer last fall from the NC State Wolfpack. The Wolfpack has consistently been mentioned among his leaders, but it appears they could be slipping due to state-specific academic requirements needed to enroll at NC State.

"NC State was the first school to offer me a scholarship," he stated. "My head coach told me about it last year and it shocked me. It was really big, and they've always been one of my to schools.

Hesitant to name a leader, or even a top five, Askew has a couple of camps in mind and is looking to make a decision late in the process.

"I'll probably try and camp at Clemson, Tennessee, and Maryland," he said. "Those are the ones I want to camp at and I'm going to get out and see some more colleges.

"I'm wide open. I don't even want to say a top five right now because I like everybody. I'm going to try and narrow it down later on... probably after the summer."

The article also breaks down his junior film.
