"The No. 15 prospect in the
On3 Industry Rankings is likely done with visits before he puts his name on a commitment list.
āI am praying about it, talking it over with my family and trying to figure out a timetable for my commitment right now,ā MacIntyre told On3. āI feel like I have seen everything in any school I have wanted to check out, so I donāt think I need anymore visits before I make my decision. Nothing is set yet, but I feel like I am at a good spot in my recruitment. A decision is coming pretty soon.ā
In October, MacIntyre named his
top 10 schools. He did take a visit to
UCLA in the fall, but the frontrunners have been
Alabama,
LSU and
Tennessee for some time. Those three remain the ones to watch. MacIntyre confirmed when he commits, it will be to one of those SEC programs.
āIt has been those three [schools] for me for a long time. They all want to win, win, win, but they are different schools in my mind.
āAlabama is about winning. They are still the standard of college football in my mind. LSU has that track record of developing quarterbacks. Tennessee is about the explosive offense and how their team is always led by the quarterback.
āAlabama, LSU and Tennessee are all great schools, but I donāt see a lot of similarities.ā
MacIntyre is not ready to put a date out just yet, but he will put a Crimson Tide, Tiger or Vols hat on at a ceremony soon. It could be January, maybe it gets to February, but a decision is nearing.
āI have always visited those three schools, but two have always stood out,ā MacIntyre said. āIt is a one-on-one battle between two schools and it is very tight between those two.
āWhen I pick between those two, the head coach will matter a lot. Then the family feel, fit within the system and the culture are other key factors.ā
