Booker Pickett Jr's Top Schools, Jason Robinson Jr. Decommits, and More Prospects in the News

–Jaydan Hardy, S, Lewisville, Texas (Lewisville HS), #145 nationally, #9 safety, and #23 in TX

Four-star Lewisville (TX.) safety Jaydan Hardy has over 20 offers but knows he wants to play in the best conference in college football, the SEC. He is rated the No. 9 safety in the class and is the No. 23 player in Texas. Regarding the SEC, he said, "It is just the best situation for me. I think playing in the SEC will make me the best I can be. My dad played in the SEC, I love the conference, and I am pretty set on playing for an SEC school one day. " Hardy plans to begin taking visits in March and hopes to visit the Oklahoma Sooners, LSU Tigers, Texas A&M Aggies, and the Miami Hurricanes as well. The Aggies are the favorites right now, as the On3 RPM gives them a 28% chance of landing him, followed by the Hurricanes at 24%. I like the Aggies here too.

Robinson visited the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Utah Utes during the season and was reoffered by the Colorado Buffaloes last month. I would keep an eye on these three teams right now.
