Simpson to Decide Soon

The decision of Harrisburg High School’s (PA) outstanding tailback Mikell Simpson is very likely to come in the next two weeks. The 6-1, 185-pound prospect’s official visit to the University of Florida was his 5th overall official visit. He has narrowed his list to Alabama, Florida and Virginia, and plans to use this week to choose among the 3.

“I’m going to talk with my father and my coaches this week and figure out the best place for me,” Simpson said. “I’m planning on telling the coaches of my decision on Friday. I was planning to have a press conference on January 28th, but we may move it up. I was talking with my father, and we’ll most likely move it to next Wednesday the 26th. It’s not set in stone yet though. I have to talk to our athletic director.

“This decision is going to be really tough. It’s not a decision just for next year – it’s going to be for the next 4 years of my life.”

Before the visit to Gainesville this past weekend, Simpson had stated that Alabama and Virginia were his top two schools. Did the Florida visit change anything?
