McKinney (Texas) receiver T.V. Williams is set to announce his decision at a press conference at his school Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

Rivals.com will be in attendance and providing coverage as the three-star prospect chooses between the five schools still standing on his list.

Oregon State, Iowa, Kentucky, Houston and Nebraska are the finalists and Williams has done a pretty good job of keeping everything quiet. That was a goal.

"I'm really excited," Williams told Cats Illustrated over the weekend. "I wanted to keep all the rumors and everything away and I think I've done a pretty good job of it."

There will be five hats on the table and Tuesday he will pick up just one of them. He spoke at length about each of those schools still standing and why they made the cut:

Oregon State: "Oregon State made the final list because one of the big things I wanted in a school was coaching stability. That's one thing Oregon State had. Coach (Mike) Riley's been there for a long time and his contract doesn't end for a long time. Another thing is they run the pro-style offense, so if I was blessed enough to go to the NFL the transition from college to the next level won't be as painful as it would be in another offense."

Iowa: "With Iowa I like Coach (Bobby) Kennedy and Coach (Greg) Davis and the legacy they left at Texas. They won a national championship there at Texas. Their receiving corps at Texas was unreal. They left a lot of history and tradition. That was big now that they're back together. I went and visited Iowa and got to talk to Coach (Kirk) Ferentz a lot and that was really good."

Kentucky: "I like that Kentucky has a really good recruiting class going on this year and that's really nice. It's a really, really nice recruiting class. I have a relationship with Coach (Tommy) Mainord and Coach (Neal) Brown when they were at (Texas) Tech and those are really good relationships. I feel like if you bring that Air Raid offense and combine it with the defense Coach (Mark) Stoops is bringing over from Florida State some really good things could happen."

Houston: "Houston was a good school I really liked in the beginning. They were my first offer and that stuck with me a lot. They really believed in me. Then coach Meachum came over from Oklahoma State and I had to strengthen my relationship I had with the staff on the offensive side of the ball. They're building a new stadium and also moving to the Big East."

Nebraska: "Nebraska was good. Very unexpected. I got to sit with Coach (Tim) Beck a lot and we went through the offense. He's really creative with his play calling. You can't tell but it's a pass-first offense with the option to run. They get a lot of one-on-one match-ups and really get the slot in space. That's what I really enjoyed about the visit to Nebraska, the offense. Then also just seeing the facilities. It was unreal to see the facilities they have. The academic section was just as good as the football section."

Williams recently attended The Opening in Oregon and posted one of the fastest shuttle times of any of the prospects in attendance.
