Mint Hill, NC

Top junior Christian LeMay down to 10, will graduate early

2011 quarterback Christian LeMay (Mint Hill, N.C./Butler) is now only considering 10 schools from his long list of suitors, ESPN's Brian Stumpf reports.

Florida, Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Oklahoma, Miami-FL, Mississippi State, Florida State, Virginia Tech and North Carolina will battle for the ESPNU 150 Watch List prospect.

Additionally, the 6-foot-2, 187-pound talent hopes to narrow the field down to five by May and three by July and eventually name a "leader" instead of making a verbal commitment. LeMay will enroll at his school of choice January 2011.

Maryland, N.C. State, Oregon, Wake Forest, West Virginia, Illinois, Tennessee and Michigan have also offered.

As a junior, he completed 170 of 248 attempts (68.5-percent) for 3,396 yards, 44 touchdowns and just two interceptions, leading Butler to a 15-0 state title.

Mississippi State scores big Mobile, Ala. safety Chris Hughes

Four-star senior Chris Hughes (Mobile, Ala./Davidson) has committed to Mississippi State, ESPN affiliate Web site BullDawgJunction.com reports.

The 6-foot, 210-pounder selected the Bulldogs over Ole Miss and Clemson. Arkansas, Kansas State, Louisville and Southern Miss also extended offers.

ESPN's Bill Conley said of the news, "Chris Hughes is the third four-star athlete in the Bulldogs list of verbals and the third player from the state of Alabama. He is also the first true safety in the class."

"Hughes is a stout and stocky safety that hits more like a middle backer. He likes to unload on the ball-carrier and wraps, rolls the hips and drives his legs when making the tackle. Hughes is very solid in pass coverage and can separate the receiver from the football due to the velocity and power he generates when delivering on the wide out."

Hughes exploded onto the recruiting scene at the Mobile Nike Combine where he posted a 4.37-40-yard dash, 4.29 20-yard shuttle, 33.9-inch vertical, 38-foot power thrown and 114.84 SPARQ.
