He continues, however, to speak with coaches and weigh the pros and cons of each potential college destination.

“I’m still looking at UVa, Notre Dame, Florida and Florida State,” said Nwankwo, a Boston-native whose family is from Nigeria. “There’s a lot to think about between now and my decision. I really don’t have a timeframe for when I’ll announce anything, but it will be after I take a few official visits.”

What does he like about each school?

“Virginia has shown me the most love throughout this whole thing,” said Nwankwo. “That means a lot to me. It’s nice to feel like you’re considered ‘the guy’ for someone.

“Notre Dame has a good future with Charlie Weiss. Their offense is going to be exciting and they’re adding a lot of talent. Florida looks like a program on the rise, too. I think they’re going to be real good in the coming years. At Florida State it’s all about Bobby Bowden. You usually wouldn’t have a chance to go to FSU and play early, but they need some offensive line help.”
