Nation's Top Football Prospect Down To Two Schools

The nation's No. 1 recruit has reportedly narrowed his choices down to two schools. According to Scout.com, defensive tackle Rashan Gary (Paramus, N.J.) will be choosing between Michigan and Clemson on Wednesday when he makes his announcement.

 width=Those two teams emerging as Gary's choices doesn't come as too much of a surprise, as he visited both schools in the last two weeks. Gary went an official visit to Clemson this past weekend and made an unofficial visit to Michigan on Jan. 22.

Michigan has long been considered the frontrunner for Gary, as he has taken more unofficial visits there than any other school and the Wolverines already have two of his closest friends committed for 2016. However, Clemson has made a strong push for Gary late and his mother told Scout that they were very impressed by the Tigers.

Whichever team lands Gary is going to be getting a player that can make an immediate impact on the defensive line. Gary is a monster in the middle at 6-foot-5, 293 pounds and has tremendous athleticism, as noted by his 4.74 time in the 40-yard dash. He was also the most valuable player at this year's Under Armour All-American game.

USC, Auburn, Alabama and Ole Miss were all also thought to be in the running for Gary prior to him narrowing down his decision to Clemson and Michigan.
