Freedom High School 2014 RB Joe Mixon named Cal one of his early favorites last week and he's now taken one official visit off of his schedule in favor of the Bears.

"I did what's best for me and the family by making that move," Mixon told CLA Sports today.

Today the All-American running back took an official visit to Texas A&M off of his schedule so that he could remain close to home in the Pac-12.

Freedom High superstar running back Joe Mixon received his 50th scholarship offer from the Oregon Ducks recently. The primetime performer rushed for 1,443 yards and 20 touchdowns while snagging six receiving touchdowns for the Falcons last season. The highly coveted Mixon narrowed his extensive list of suitors to 10 a few weeks ago.

Four Pac-12 programs made the cut including Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Cal. Perennial powers like Ohio State, Oklahoma and Florida remain in contention. Wisconsin, Texas A&M and Tennessee are still in the running as well.

George Campbell gets it done with a smile on his face. The 6'5" 190 wide receiver is heading into his junior season at East Lake High School (Florida) and exploded with a 4.37 forty at The Opening in Oregon several weeks ago.

The first time CLA watched George Campbell in person was in early July of this year at the IMG 7v7 National Championship in Bradenton, FL while the 2015 WR was still uncommitted. Campbell put on an MVP performance for Team Tampa and helped them claim victory in a tough battle against the South Florida Express.

CLA spoke with 2016 WR Brandon Burton about the upcoming season, Fall camp and recruiting. We asked Burton about the depth chart this season and what he's been doing in the off-season to prepare.

Last season, Burton was featured primarily on special teams. Luckily for CLA, we were in attendance on the sidelines when Burton scored on an incredible pick six in the CIF playoffs.
