Decision week for five-star safety Trey McNutt who talks where he’s at in the process

It’s decision week for Shaker Heights (Ohio) High On3 Industry five-star safety Trey McNutt. The finalists remain Florida, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas A&M and USC.

The 5-foot-11 1/2, 183-pound McNutt says he’s still working to narrow it down to one.

“I’m looking for a program that I love,” McNutt said. “It has to be a family. A place that believes. Somewhere I can be developed the right way.”

There is a lot of traits to be developed regarding McNutt who checks in as the On3 Industry’s No. 2 safety and No. 20 prospect overall.

On3 looks at where things stands as McNutt goes into the final week of his process.

“I want to commit before the season so I have the spot set and focus on the season,” he added.

Oregon is the On3 RPM favorite

Visits to Oregon in the spring and summer have put Dan Lanning and the Ducks in great shape to land one of their most coveted targets. His official was the weekend of June 21.

“Coach Lanning he’s a different type of coach,” McNutt said. “And he’s a different type of person. Oregon and their program is on the uprise and going into this season I feel like they’re going to make some moves.”

Oregon has the On3 Industry’s No. 4 ranked recruiting class. McNutt raved about the opportunity during the On3 Elite Series in May.

“Coach Dan (Lanning), his passion and how he is as a coach, he’s just different. I can see that they’re building the program up and they’re trying to get a national championship. They want it over there.”

Texas A&M the biggest challenger

The Aggies have also gotten McNutt to campus a couple times under Mike Elko and the new staff.

Defensive backs coach Ishmael Aristide has been leading the charge in pushing for McNutt.

“Just Coach Ish and Coach Elko and Coach (Jay) Bateman and the staff are great,” McNutt said. “Coach Elko’s defensive mind is elite. I just like Coach Ish and his personality and everything.

McNutt also gave the Aggies high marks in May.

“Mike Elko, it’s cool having a defensive head coach. Having him as also a safeties coach because he has a great mind as a defensive coach. Also with Coach (Ishmael Aristide)…growing as a coach, all of them have been recruiting me hard.”

The Aggies have On3’s No. 9 ranked recruiting class. His official visit was the weekend of June 14.

McNutt talks about his other three finalists

McNutt was back at USC the weekend of May 31.

“All the opportunities you have out there,” McNutt said. “Their school and football and opportunities outside of football. The job opportunities for guys out there and everything in LA.”

Florida got a return visit the weekend of June 7.

“I had a great time on my visits to Florida,” McNutt said. “I know with the staff they have they’re going in the right direction.”

McNutt has been to Ohio State as much as any program.

“It’s fun,” he said. “It’s close to home. And just the program at Ohio State, you can tell they’re elite and they’ve always been a major school.”
