Joe Mixon has been on a recruiting roller coaster this season. After a breakout year for Freedom as a junior, Mixon's performance at the U.S. Army All-American combine launched him into the national spotlight. Today, Joe Mixon announced his final four schools.

In a surprise move, Mixon named the Cal Bears to his list of top programs. Cal Berkeley was Mixon's first official visit and RB Coach Pierre Ingram has been recruiting Mixon for a very long time now.

In no particular order, Mixon named Cal, UCLA, Oklahoma and Wisconsin as his top four choices this morning.

Class of 2015 Freedom offensive lineman Dominic Fredrickson has landed a scholarship offer from the UCLA Bruins. The 6'3 300 bruiser paved the way for superstar running back and Army All-American Joe Mixon to run wild this season for the Falcons. Fredrickson imposes his will on the opponent and plays with a mean streak.

CLA caught up with Dominic to get his thoughts on receiving an offer from a Pac-12 power like UCLA.

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.

At this point last season, 2014 WR Jordan Lasley was patiently waiting on his phone to ring. These days, Lasley's phone rings off the hook.

Just after landing at Long Beach Airport this evening on a return flight from a Utah official visit, Serra wide receiver Jordan Lasley answered a phone call from USC Trojans coach Tee Martin. SC officially offered Lasley tonight and presented the UCLA commit with a few things to think about.

"I had just landed and they (USC) offered me," Jordan Lasley told CLA tonight.

Denzel Fisher has been one of the hardest working defensive back recruits on the West coast over the past year. Today, the UCLA commit Fisher hauled in another big-time offer.

Fisher received an offer from the USC Trojans today. Coach Tee Martin had been out to Compton Centennial twice this year and watched Fisher up close and personal against Serrano.

"It feels great. That was the school in my back yard and here they come with an offer. I worked hard for it," Fisher told CLA.

CLA spoke with recent UCLA commit Adarius Pickett (DB/2014) from El Cerrito High School (CA). During March, Pickett attended the UCLA Spring Game and we had the chance to watch him take part in the activities held at the Rose Bowl.

"I was just figuring it out. In March I only had 12 offers, then I came up to 21. I took my official to UCLA and I liked it a lot," Pickett told CLA.

So far this season, Pickett has two interceptions and plays on a stout El Cerrito defense alongside USC 2014 LB commit D.J. Calhoun.

The 2013 B2G Elite Camp at UCLA provided the ideal setting for any aspiring college level athlete. Student-athletes participating in this year's camp walked down the to field for the morning session after having breakfast in the dining hall close to the dorms they'll be housed in for the remainder of the weekend. Campers get to experience firsthand what it's like to be a student-athlete in a college environment, and that's invaluable.

At 6'4 215, Josh Rosen has a formidable presence on and off the football field. Rosen doesn't carry himself like the typical high school sophomore and he's well aware of this fact. According to the 2015 QB recruit, maturity comes with the territory.

"You have to become mature beyond your years very quickly, especially at the quarterback position," Rosen told CLA Sports.

"They called me and Rasheem (Green) and offered us. It was a quick conversation just saying that I got an offer and go Gators. He (Coach White) said that he likes that I'm aggressive and that I'm a hard-hitter and he'll talk to me more on Monday about it," John Houston told CLA Sports this evening.

It was a busy day for the 2015 LB from Gardena Serra High School. Houston racked up offers from the USC Trojans and Florida Gators today.
