Received his first offer in Wisconsin, who in particular surprised him. Tulsa also stands out. The ideal situation for him would be to play with teammates/roomates Marcus Trice and Darius Taylor (his brother)

Still only has the offer from Wisconsin, but now is getting serious interest from Tulsa, SMU, and North Texas; after his hot start. Has 35 tackles and 2 interceptions through 3 games. Will probably be visiting Wisconsin when they host Ohio State on October 3rd.

New highlights on his rivals page too

my take is that he is already a better tackler then Valai and Carter lol, seriously he doesnt seem to be a pop you in the mouth tackler, but he is very good at wrapping up his man. He was also playing LB most of the time so he was going aginst RB's and not recievers so maybe that would be a bit different when he is at safety. Does anyone know the level of competition Mesquite plays? I know its Texas but....

Mesquite plays in Texas' 5A class, which contains the largest schools the state has to offer. However, the district they play within couldn't exactly be classified as one of the class' toughest.
