The state of California is loaded with offensive linemen in the 2012 class and tackle Max Tuerk is among the best. The 6-foot-6, 281-pound lineman already has offers from Michigan, Arizona, Oregon, UCLA, and Washington to name a few. Here's a look at Tuerk's film and where he's at in the process.

TOM: I know you have an offer from Michigan, but do you think any other schools are close to offering?

MAX: I hope so. I'm not sure if they're actually going to offer me or not, but I have been talking to Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Stanford came by my school last week.

TOM: You already have a good list now, have you thought about narrowing everything down any time soon?

MAX: I haven't thought about it yet because a lot of new offers are still coming in. When it starts to die down I will start to narrow it down.

TOM: Sounds like a good plan. Since you're from California do you know much about Michigan?

MAX: Of course. I know Michigan has a great football tradition and they produce a lot of great linemen. I really like Coach Funk and Ferrigno, and we're developing a solid relationship. 

TOM: To stay on that note, since you're from California do you think distance will factor into all this?

MAX: I don't think at all. I'm actually leaning towards getting out of California.

TOM: You said you're building a relationship with the coaches. What do you guys talk about and what have they told you about Michigan?

MAX: We talk every once in awhile and they've told me that Michigan not only has a great football team but it's a great school as well. Hopefully I can check it out soon.

TOM: Did these coaches recruit you while they were at San Diego State at all?

MAX: No, but SDSU is recruiting me now.

TOM: Is Michigan a school that you're going to try to visit?

MAX: Yes, this summer I am definitely going to try to get out there.

TOM: When you take visits to these schools and try to analyze them what are you going to be looking for?

MAX: A good fit with academics, the football program, and my overall comfort level with the people I am going to spend my college career with.

TOM: For anyone that hasn't gotten to see you play, how would you describe yourself?

MAX: I play as hard as I can every play. My best attributes would probably be my speed and aggressiveness.

TOM: Do you have any idea of how you want your recruitment to play out?

MAX: It's still up in the air for me but I think I am going to narrow it down to three to five choices in the summer, so it's not so overwhelming during the season. I plan to take official visits to those top schools.
