South Carolina in constant contact with Logan Rudolph, making more offers
The offers continue to pile up for Northwestern defensive end Logan Rudolph.
On Monday, he added Baylor, Illinois and Iowa State to a group that includes South Carolina, Oklahoma State, North Carolina, Florida State, Tennessee, Penn State, Notre Dame, Michigan and Nebraska.
Rudolph visited Florida on Saturday, Florida State on Sunday and is going to Tennessee on March 5. He doesn’t have any visits set after that, but he will take some trips during his spring break.
While he has the in-state offer from USC, Rudolph said he has nothing going on with Clemson at this point.
“I have not talked to a Clemson coach since the Wake Forest game which was when I went up to campus,” he said. “I talk to South Carolina just about every day. I talk to Coach Muschamp and Coach Bentley every day through Twitter and sometimes over the phone. I like them a lot. I think Coach Muschamp is a great coach and is pointing them in the right direction for sure.”
Rudolph’s keeping his mind open regarding all the schools and doesn’t have a favorite. If he did, Rudolph said USC definitely would be high on the list.
“They like me a lot, and they’ve got a great position for me,” Rudolph said. “I don’t have any favorites at this point. I’m still playing it by ear and trying to weigh this whole situation out and visit as many places as I can. They will always be there for me. Coach Muschamp is a great guy and I can’t speak highly enough about him and that new staff. I went up on an unofficial a few weeks ago and he definitely tried to express to me, and the rest of the staff, that I’m needed there and that I’m a priority for them and they’ve got a tailor-made position for me. They couldn’t speak highly enough. I was excited and it’s a great opportunity.”
Rudolph said he plans to return to Columbia for a spring practice and possibly for the spring game.
