Originally, Spring Valley (Columbia, SC) offensive line prospect Leon Hart had targeted Thanksgiving as the day he wanted to narrow his list to five schools. After deliberating over the course of his senior season, he is way ahead of schedule.

“I was telling everyone I would have my list by Thanksgiving, but I started narrowing things down slowly over our season,” said Hart. “I would look at each school and see what direction their football program was going in, see how each school would fit me and my major, and narrow down from there. I haven’t planned any dates yet, but I know four schools I’m going to. They are South Carolina, Ohio State, Virginia, and Auburn. I’m deciding between Maryland and Georgia for my fifth visit.”

Hart says he will “choose between the five I take my visits to. I want to take all five visits so I can give each school a fair chance.” He hopes to decide between Maryland and Georgia for the final visit before Thanksgiving.

At 6-5, 290 pounds, Hart is a versatile offensive line prospect. Schools are looking at him to play either offensive tackle or guard on the next level. One of the top offensive line prospects in the country, he was recently named to the North Carolina/South Carolina Shrine Bowl roster.
