Stories to Watch

Adoree' Jackson, CB

There were reports that Jackson would be considering several different schools—including Tennessee, according to 247Sports' JC Shurburtt (via Ben Fredrickson of the Knoxville News Sentinel)—but the talented cornerback ended all speculation.

Jackson took to Twitter to reveal his top four choices:

While the prospect is originally from Illinois, he went to Junipero Serra High School in Gardena, Calif. and has been linked to several marquee schools across the nation.

Jackson has narrowed it down to Florida, LSU, USC and UCLA, but just as Trojans stars Marqise Lee and Robert Woods went to USC from Junipero Serra High School, Jackson will do the same.

Predicted Landing Spot: USC

Rashaan Evans, OLB

After cancelling a trip to visit the UCLA campus, per AL.com's Matt Scalici, it is clear that Auburn native and star outside linebacker prospect Evans will be keeping his talents in state.

Evans will pick either Alabama or Auburn.

This will be a tough decision that Evans and his family will take seriously, but the class and the commitment of the Auburn coaching staff could ultimately be the difference between signing with the two schools.

"The fact that (Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn) showed me (his home), it made me feel more for-sure about coach Malzahn and what he wants to do with me and also where he wants to go with this program," Evans said, via AL.com's Brandon Marcello. 

Let the money ride on Evans committing to Auburn.

Predicted Landing Spot: Auburn
