In August, Centreville (Clifton, VA) star defensive end/tight end Ken Ekanem narrowed his list to nine schools - Boston College, Michigan State, North Carolina, N.C. State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Virginia and Virginia Tech. He would like to narrow the list further to a final five, possibly as early as the next few weeks.
"I'm trying to cut it down to five, but it's just hard to plan out all this," the 6'3", 245-pound senior said. "I feel like I have to visit all the schools before I cut it down, but I'm going to try and cut it down in probably a couple of weeks."
