WR McCrary talks top three college options

Miami (Fla.) Coral Reef wide receiver Jacob McCrary has three favorites but isn't quite ready to make a decision. That gives schools like Kentucky an opening.

Clemson, West Virginia and Florida State are currently leading the other schools that are recruiting McCrary, a 6-foot, 182-pound receiver. But McCrary told Cats Illustrated in a recent interview that he's open to listening to other schools.

He took an unofficial visit to Kentucky last weekend and said it was an eye-opening visit.

"I thought Kentucky was a great school and a program that's on the rise," he said. "I wouldn't mind playing for them. I'm talking to coach (Jimmy) Brumbaugh, the defensive line coach that just came in.

"I knew (Mark Stoops and D.J. Eliot) from when they were at Florida State so that just made it much better when they offered, with me already knowing them."

Some prospects might shy away from a rebuilding effort, which Kentucky obviously is, but McCrary wouldn't have a problem trying to help do something that hasn't been done before.

"Not at all, that wouldn't bother me," he said. "In a situation like that you could have opportunities maybe as a freshman to go in and start.

"They told me they're going to put in an Air Raid offense and throw the ball a lot more. That's something every receiver would like. You're definitely going to get the amount of touches you want. They want to put play-makers on the field."
