Nation's No. 1 JUCO prospect narrows his list to four
With just over a week until National Signing Day arrives, junior college defensive lineman Jonathan Kongbo is closing in on his final destination. After opening up his commitment following his decommitment from Tennessee, Kongbo has been giving consideration to many of the nation's elite programs.
Florida State, Alabama, USC, Oregon, Washington are among the schools pursuing Kongbo the hardest. Rated as the No. 1 JUCO prospect in the nation and a five-star talent by 247Sports, Kongbo was scheduled to be in Tuscaloosa this weekend but recently switched that visit to Tallahassee.
Late Thursday, the elite recruit released his latest list:
