Baltimore (Md.) City College wide receiver Adrian Coxson committed to Penn State on April 30, five days after attending the Nittany Lions’ spring game and two days before making the trip back to State College for the Nike Football Training Camp.
However, four months later Coxson says he is going to visit other schools.
“Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, all of them are still pretty much recruiting me,” Coxson said. “A lot of schools are still recruiting me. I’ll visit some schools. I’m not sure when or which ones. I’ll know in the next week or so.”
Coxson said his visits to other schools will probably be official visits.
When asked if he is still committed to Penn State, Coxson said, “Yes. I just want to make sure I’m making the right decision.”
Though they did not talk about Coxson visiting other schools, Coxson said he recently spoke with Penn State assistant Larry Johnson. Johnson is the assistant who has recruited Coxson.
“We talked a couple days ago,” Coxson said. “But we didn’t talk about any visits.”
The 6-foot-1 and 195-pound Coxson has been a varsity starter at wide receiver since his freshman season and a starter at cornerback the past two seasons.
Coxson caught 34 passes for 821 yards during his junior season. He averaged 24 yards per catch and had eight touchdowns. Coxson intercepted three passes. He averaged 23 yards per punt return with two touchdowns, and 20 yards per kickoff return with a touchdown.
Before committing to the Nittany Lions, Coxson had approximately a dozen scholarship offers including Florida, Pitt, Michigan, West Virginia, Notre Dame, Maryland, Boston College and Connecticut. Oklahoma and Georgia have also offered Coxson.
Kurelic’s Comment: Losing Coxson, who is the No. 103 prospect on the ESPNU 150, would be a definite blow to Joe Paterno’s 2010 recruiting class. I think in the end he signs with the Nittany Lions, but anytime a prospect makes an official visit elsewhere it gives at least a little cause for concern.
