Seward picks up UK offer, talks schools

Atlanta (Ga.) Westminster athlete Cameron Seward attended Kentucky's spring game several weeks ago and he told Cats Illustrated at the time that he was impressed by the experience.

Now that he's had some time to reflect on the trip even more, Seward is still impressed with UK.

"I think it was a positive trip. One thing that definitely stands out and that I remember is the fans. It was on the day of the spring game and the fan base and the intensity of the fans was at a very high level. That really stood out to me," Seward said.

So Seward was excited when he learned recently that UK wanted to offer him a scholarship.

Kentucky offered the 6-foot-1, 200-pound prospect as an outside linebacker, even though he's more of a skill position player at the high school level.

Derrick Ansley is handling a lot of UK's recruiting efforts in the Atlanta area and he's Seward's main recruiter.

"I've talked to him probably five or six times," Seward said. "A couple of times on the phone but mostly on Facebook and Twitter. He seems like a good guy.

"I'd say they're definitely still a school I'm interested in. I wouldn't say they're at the top of my list right now."

That honor belongs to Boston College, a school that has been recruiting him for as long and with as much intensity as any other. Seward has visited BC and felt good on campus. And Boston College has strong academic credentials that are appealing to the three-star prospect.

"Boston College is definitely up there at the top for me right now. They're up there alone right now I'd say. I'm actually expecting some other schools to come by in the last week of school for me to check me out."
