Four-star cornerback Trayvon Mullen out of Coconut Creek, Florida has included both Clemson and Florida State in his top three, along with SEC power LSU. Mullen, who says through his tweet that there is no order to the list has been widely expected to commit to Florida State due to him being an in-state recruit, as well as the fact that the Seminoles have a need at cornerback in the coming years.
Calabasas WR Keyshawn Johnson recently cut his list to 8, is there a favorite in the group? http://t.co/CjqDsNbLo7pic.twitter.com/IoyH3cDlfj — Greg Biggins (@GregBiggins) August 5, 2015
Four-star receiver Keyshawn Johnson Jr. Yes, the son of that Keyshawn Johnson, is one of the top 150 recruits in the country for the class of 2017 according to Scout. Johnson Jr. reigns from Calabasas, California and as the 113th ranked recruit in the country per the latest rankings, he has gained interest from many of the nation’s top programs. He cut his list down to eight schools, with the usual suspects of Alabama, Ohio State, and USC (his father’s alma mater) present on the list. Additionally, one ACC school made the list as Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers are hot on the trail for the talented wideout.

E.J. Price, a 2016 four-star offensive line recruit and former University of Georgia commit has released his top eight schools as he moves closer to making a decision about where he will play college football. On June 18th, Price broke off his verbal commitment with the Bulldogs, as he felt that he rushed into a decision too quickly. While UGA made his top eight list, schools such as Ole Miss, LSU, Auburn, and Tennessee are also interested. Florida State is also in on Price, as the ‘Noles look to shore up the future of their offensive line for 2016 and beyond.
