The frenzied recruitment of top-ranked 2016 prospect Rashan Gary isn't slowing down anytime soon.
The dominant New Jersey defensive lineman elected to postpone plans for a preseason list of favorites, according toTodderickHuntof NJ Advance Media. Gary, a senior at Garden State powerhouseParamusCatholic High School, previously expected to release a group of five college programs before his first game.
Instead, Gary is taking a step back and surveying various options. Notre Dame and USC will each receive a visit from the 6'4", 311-pound playmaker.
"Rashan wanted to have his top choices by now, however, he does not," JenniferConey, Gary's mother, told Hunt. "Before he decides anything, he wants to go to USC and Notre Dame. I know that he said before school (he'd cut down to a top five), but it doesn't even look like it's gonna be September or October."
This develop prolongs an already lengthy recruiting process. Gary has commanded considerable collegiate interest since the earliest stages of his high school career and actually received a verbal scholarship offer from Rutgers in eighth grade.
"It's been a journey since I got that first offer in eighth grade," hetold Bleacher Report this spring. "I didn't think much of it until I got to high school and realized there were seniors who worked really hard and still didn't have any offers. Seeing players struggle to get colleges interested at camps kind of puts things in perspective and keeps me humble. A lot of people want to be in my shoes."
