In today’s Fact or Fiction — Recruiting Edition — I look at three big recent topics from the recruiting trail and decide whether the statement is indeed FACT or if it’s FICTION.
1. Illinois has a legit shot at DL Nathaniel Marshall.
Farrell’s take: FACT
He’s a legacy with his grandfather, a hoops legend at Illinois, and the Illini have an official visit already set. Miami has an official as well, and this could come down to Mario vs Bret after their Twitter dust-up a few weeks ago. They are still a longshot, but the Illini have a chance here for the 5-star in-state DL.
2. QB Julian Lewis sticks with USC.
Farrell’s take: FACT
Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, and Colorado all get official visits from the 5-star QB this spring, but USC gets the last one, and based on how recruiting has worked forever, that’s a good sign for the Trojans. He’s doing his due diligence and checking out other places and will sit down with Lincoln Riley on March 30 and hash it all out again. But as a current USC commit and the way he has this scheduled, I’d be confident he will stick.
3. Ohio State leads for RB Jordon Davison.
Farrell’s take: FICTION
Texas has the edge here for the California running back, in my opinion, followed by Ohio State and some others, and it’s an intriguing battle. Bijan Robinson once favored the Buckeyes heavily before choosing Texas, and now Ohio State is hoping for redemption with this 5-star RB. Right now, it doesn’t look good though.
A 38-yard TD run from Jordon Davison on 3rd and 7 ends this thing. Mater Dei will most likely win 17-7. pic.twitter.com/uIxuJPoSvu
