Briscoe Names Top Seven

Burns (Lawndale, NC) wide receiver Josh Briscoe has received a total of 14 scholarship offers and is still receiving interest from several top Division I-A programs. Recently, he cut his list down to seven schools. Although these programs are in his top seven right now, he admits the other programs are not necessarily out of the running.

“I have 14 offers,” Briscoe said. “I recently released my top seven. In the order they offered me, those schools are Duke, NC State, Virginia, Nebraska, Tennessee, Clemson, and Georgia. I had to cut my list from 14 to seven. Those are the schools I’m focusing on right now, but eight thru 14 still have a chance.”

Briscoe, a 6-3, 175 pound receiver with 4.42 40 speed, hopes to make some unofficial visits this summer. But with a FCA Leadership Camp and a FCA Summer Football Camp on his schedule already, so he is not sure he will be able to make any visits. Therefore, he will be busy researching his top seven to make sure they are a good fit for him.

“I’m going to do research on each one, especially if I can’t take any visits this summer,” Briscoe said. “I’ll look at the depth at receiver, who they are recruiting, and where I stand. If I’m number four on someone’s list, then that’s not good.”
