The clock is ticking on Dexter (Brookline, Massachusetts) lineman [autotag]Liam Andrews[/autotag]’ recruitment, at least according to the timeline set by his school for student-athletes planning on graduating early and enrolling in the spring.
Yes, students at Dexter have to announce their commitment over the summer (July specifically) if they plan to early enroll. Andrews, a top-100 commit on the On3 industry ranking and 247Sports composite, has slowly narrowed down his options and has locked in a trio of official visits for June, according to 247Sports.
Penn State is getting Andrews this weekend (June 2), Wisconsin has him the following week and Florida gets him starting June 16. He’s looking to add one or two more official visits to that schedule. LSU, Miami, Ohio State, Oklahoma and South Carolina round out his top eight.
The Nittany Lions have been after Andrews the longest and might be the favorites to land him, especially considering the time constraints. The On3 recruiting prediction machine gives Penn State 30.4% of the projection, but Florida is closing the gap at 15.3% in second place.
Andrews is a consensus four-star recruit, according to all four major services. On3’s independent rankings are the most bullish on him at No. 55 overall and No. 2 among interior offensive linemen. 247Sports and Rivals.com have him listed as an offensive tackle, and ESPN has him down as a guard.
To make things even more confusing, Andrews is being recruited as a two-way lineman, meaning he’ll play both offense and defense.
