Big schools not shy about RB McKenzie
Running back Shai McKenzie said he’s already feeling overwhelmed with the recruiting process. Just this week, the junior from Washington (Pa.) earned another four scholarship offers and performed a dozen interviews. “But,” he added, “it’s a good problem to have.” The tailback now has a dozen FBS offers, the most recent of which came from Penn State, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wisconsin. He’s also receiving a lot of interest from Ohio State — and plans to attend its Junior Day on Feb.
Four stand out to ESPN 300 WR
SAN ANTONIO — ESPN 300 wide receiver Shelton Gibson (Cleveland Heights, Ohio/Cleveland Heights) has continuously looked like one of the best slot receivers for the East during practices for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. It’s no wonder why schools from across the land are going all in for him. However, there are only four schools right now that he is reciprocating interest in: West Virginia, Ohio State, Kentucky and Tennessee. He has already taken official visits to West Virginia (Nov.
WR Shelton Gibson shuffles top group
Ohio State has led for Cleveland Heights (Ohio) receiver Shelton Gibson, but that does not mean the ESPN 300 receiver is committing anytime soon.

No. 5 WVU drops from ranks of undefeated
West Virginia came into Saturday’s game at Texas Tech in the drivers’ seat for the Big 12 title, undefeated and eyeing a shot at the BCS champsionship and with quarterback Geno Smith acclaimed as a Heisman Trophy front-runner. The No. 5 Mountaineers left with none of it following a 49-14 loss to the Red Raiders that was the most lopsided Texas Tech victory over a team ranked in the top five.
