Dadeville (AL) DT Rod Crayton is coming off an extremely impressive junior season, and his recruitment is beginning to gain steam as a result. Standing at 6'2", 290 pounds, Crayton currently holds offers from Arizona, Auburn, FAU, Louisville, LSU, Memphis, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Penn State, and Washington State. He's one of several top-flight visitors who will be in Ann Arbor this weekend, and he's expecting to get some big news when he's on campus:

ACE: First of all, what schools have been showing interest in you lately?

ROD: LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, FAU, Memphis, Louisville, Michigan, Penn State, Washington State, and Arizona, and also Auburn and Alabama.

ACE: Talking about Michigan specifically, have they offered you, and do you have any plans to come up and visit?

ROD: I'm visiting Michigan on Sunday. They tell me they have some good news for me when I come up there, so I'm expecting an offer.

ACE: Who are you talking to from Michigan?

ROD: Coach Montgomery.

ACE: When you come up to visit, what are you going to be looking for in terms of checking out the school?

ROD: I'm just going to see how it is. See the campus, see the coaches and get to know them a little bit. See how everything is up there.

ACE: Going back to your junior season, how do you think you performed on the field, and what kind of numbers did you put up?

ROD: I did pretty good. I had 162 tackles and 11 sacks.

ACE: If you had to scout yourself as a player, what would you say are your biggest strengths and what are you looking to improve for your senior season and the next level?

ROD: To improve, I have to stay low. My strengths are working with my hands, pushing back the pocket, and making plays down the line of scrimmage.

ACE: Do you know what schools you'd like to check out over the offseason?

ROD: I'm actually going to Penn State on Saturday, then Michigan on Sunday.

ACE: Do you have any idea in terms of a timeline of when you'd like to make a commitment?

ROD: That's not gonna be any time soon. I'm trying to [take some visits first].

ACE: What are going to be the main factors that you're looking for when it comes down to picking a school?

ROD: Somewhere where I feel comfortable at, where I've got a good relationship with the coach, and where I can play at—I want to go somewhere that best fits me.
