Owings Mills (MD) offensive tackle Donovan Smith has narrowed his college focus a little bit, whittling the list of schools he’s considering down to 12. The 6-6, 275-pound senior, one of the top overall prospects in the state of Maryland, names the 12 and discusses what’s next in his recruitment.

In no particular order, “U-Conn, Rutgers, Syracuse, Pitt, Penn State, Maryland, Virginia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Michigan State, Illinois and UCLA” are the schools Smith listed in his top 12. He has been officially offered by all. Smith adds that he is not leaning in one particular direction and is considering some schools that have yet to offer, such as Auburn and Miami.

“I’m still open to new offers,” Smith said. “Miami and Auburn are starting to show interest. I’m also getting feedback from Wisconsin and Tennessee.”

Depending on his schedule, he hopes to schedule college visits – official and unofficial – throughout the fall.
