So really my decision came down to Long Beach Poly and IMG. I just thought IMG would prepare me better for the next level. Chris Weinke is the coach there. He won the Heisman, led them to their undefeated season and he wore number 16.

Hopefully I'll go to a couple games at Florida State next year.

I'd love to play in front of my family and friends in Long Beach but this was the best decision for me.

Joe Mixon has one official visit remaining. Thus far, Mixon has visited Cal, Washington, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. The 2014 All-American RB will likely take two more unofficials in addition to his last official visit.

Mixon's latest visit to Wisconsin was obviously a great one and the Badgers knocked off No. 16 ranked Northwestern in a classic Big-10 matchup.

In addition to the game, several things stood out to Mixon about his trip to Wisconsin.

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.

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.

After watching Artavis Scott play at the IMG 7v7 National Championship it was a given that he was one of the most gifted players on the field.

The 2014 WR flew out to the West Coast shortly after Team Tampa claimed victory and took home rings from the IMG tourney. The Opening hosted at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon was the next top for Artavis Scott.

As one of the top recruits to announce his verbal commitment on national television, Scott was able to share his experience at The Opening with his friends and family back in Florida.
