Nine   schools,   including   four   FBS   programs,   have   offered   6’5″,   290-pound     href=”/player/Jonathan-McLaughlin-2377/”>Jonathan   McLaughlin,   who   is   taking   his   talents   to   Blacksburg   on   Saturday   to   compete   in   Virginia   Tech’s   one-day   camp.     The   Mauldin   (S.C.)   standout   offensive   tackle   spoke   with   primary   recruiter   Bud   Foster   once   in   May   and   again   in   June,   but   where   he   stands   offer-wise   is   unclear   heading   into   this   weekend.

“[Coach   Foster]   wanted   me   to   come   to   camp.     He   got   my   film.     I   called   him   a   month   ago   and   told   him   I   was   coming,”   McLaughlin   said.     “He   said   he   is   looking   forward   to   seeing   me.”

Wake   Forest   was   the   first   major   offer   for   McLaughlin,   who   has   since   added   East   Carolina,   Florida   International   and   Marshall   to   his   FBS-level   offer   list.     Coastal   Carolina,   Furman,   Hampton,   Liberty,   and   South   Carolina   State   have   offered   as   well.     McLaughlin   initially   wanted   to   commit   by   the   end   of   the   summer,   and   that   may   still   happen,   but   there   is   the   real   possibility   that   he   waits   until   the   fall.

“I’m   still   in   my   [decision-making]   process,”   McLaughlin   said.     “I’m   still   seeing   campuses,   meeting   coaches   and   stuff.     I’m   still   keeping   my   options   open.”
