5-Star DT Montravius Adams: Power Ranking His Favorite Schools

Dooly Country High School in Vienna, Georgia is home to five-star DT prospect Montravius Adams. One of the best prospects in the country, Adams currently has a wealth of offers.

From almost any elite program you can imagine Adams is welcome on their campus and to play for them. With so much scrutiny, intrigue and speculation about his recruitment, Adams has played it close to the vest and weighed his options privately.

However, in a recent interview with Scout.com, Adams revealed some of his favorites and gave us more shape in his recruitment. I'm here to power rank the favorites for him as they stand right now.

6. Tennessee

Adams recently took a quick trip up to Knoxville to check out the Tennessee program. 

A few days ago, he told Scout.com that he was really impressed with the Vols and spoke a lot with new coach Sal Sunseri. 

The family atmosphere in Knoxville also impressed him. Rocky Top is in the race folks.

5. Florida

The Gators are also among Adams' favorites and will likely get a summer visit from the 6'3", 285-pound DT this summer, per Scout.com. 

The Gator coaching staff is noted for being personable and laid back, to which falls in favor with Adams. Adams also tells Scout.com that he feels he could get some early playing time at Florida.

4. Georgia

Being from the Peach State, you'd think Georgia would be a bit higher, but I think this slot is about where they rank in Adams' mind right now.

He knows the Dawgs are the in-state school and tells Scout.com that he speaks with UGA coaches pretty frequently and even has gone as far as saying he can picture himself playing in Athens.

So look for UGA to stay in it for the long run, but they do have some stiff competition.

3. Alabama

Adams likely will visit Tuscaloosa this month, as the Crimson Tide are in the race for his services.

Alabama really is in Adams' ear about how he fits so well in their defensive scheme and Adams seems to really take notice to how the Tide have been a dominant defensive program over the past several seasons.

According to Scout.com, a trip looms and that could really go a long way in convincing Adams to sign up to play for 'Bama.

2. Clemson

At one point early on Clemson was Adams' No. 1 school per Scout.com. While that may have been premature, the Tigers are still in a good spot.

Adams tells Scout.com that he really likes Clemson and the coaching staff. The atmosphere of the program and academics also appear to be standouts as to why the Tigers are thick in the race.

However, the strength and conditioning staff at Clemson seems to be a prime reason why he likes them. Watch out for Clemson.

1. Auburn

Adams took a trip to The Plains for Big Cat weekend in May and the Tiger coaching staff lathered him with love and attention.

From talking to Gene Chizik to Brian VanGorder to ace recruiter Trooper Taylor, Adams got a ton out of the trip to Auburn. 

He came back impressed according to Scout.com, and seems pretty high on the Tigers right now. Things could change, but I think right now if he had to pick, Auburn could be the choice.
