Duke, Central Florida, Georgia Tech, Marshall, Mississippi State, Northwestern and Purdue are among the schools that have offered Stephenson linebacker Nigel Mitchell-Thornton. The 6-foot-3, 220-pounder is expected to spend much of the summer displaying his talent at camps at places such as Auburn, Florida and Tennessee. The exposure will likely lead to additional scholarship offers.

It's almost kinda comical that Purdue is mentioned in that list....

Similar scenario:

Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, and Arkansas Tech

As opposed to Marshall, Mississippi State, or Northwestern?

I think he will stick with an SEC school but he could go to Georgia Tech.

Don't knock Northwestern. They got a kick butt business school but obviously education probably is not the highest thing on his list.

I agree. How is this news. Not one of these schools are a big time football offer.

What's actually funny is THE TRUTH's obvious ignorance. I believe that of ALL the schools listed, Purdue has the better football program. Unless, of course, you think 10 consecutive bowl appearances as unsuccessful.
