By Mike Farrell. Rutgers and Maryland have offered Trip....both are great academic schools and he wants his decision to be about academics. Talks about Maryland's campus being compact and everything being right there....talks about RU being a great experience....talks about PSU having a great atmosphere and lots of fans at the Ohio State game...also visited Delaware, Delaware State, and Virginia. No leaders but as a kid he followed Tennessee, both parents are Tennessee grads, and he may make a game yet this season.

BlueWhiteIllustrated.com - Elite linemen compete at BadgerSports event (FREE)

Quote:

DELAWARE DUO

Two of the top offensive linemen at the event came from a state not known for producing talent. Dover, Del., tackle/guard Trip Thurman and Wilmington (Del.) Salesianum School guard Evan Mulrooney were both impressive in different aspects on Saturday.

Thurman, a 6-foot-5, 295-pounder, showed off the best feet on the day in drills and has excellent instincts. He has a great build with a powerful upper body and thick legs and he is very explosive and sudden. He struggled a bit in one-on-ones mainly because he was lunging, but with a slight adjustment he has the potential to be dominant.

Mulrooney, slightly smaller at 6-4 and 275 pounds, didn't stand out as much in drills but was better in the one-on-ones, showing off an aggressive, tenacious style and competing to the whistle each time. Mulrooney got out of his stance quickly and was hard to beat to the outside.

Thurman has early offers from Boston College, Rutgers, Maryland, UConn, Wisconsin and others and is hearing from Tennessee, Penn State, Florida State and Oregon. Thurman's parents grew up in Knoxville, Tenn. and his mom went to Tennessee so an offer from the Vols would be special. However, Thurman said it will not factor in his decision.

Mulrooney doesn't have any offers just yet but is hearing from Rutgers, UConn, Maryland, Boston College, Virginia and others. He grew up a Penn State fan.
