Although he is just finishing up his freshman year at Hylton High School (Woodbridge, VA), running back Ricky Slade already has a lot to think about in terms of college.

Miami and Michigan State represent Slade’s most recent scholarship offers. Clemson, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio State, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Virginia Tech, among others, have offered as well. Slade doesn’t plan on committing until his senior year of high school; he did, however, recently mention three schools that have captured his attention at this point.
