As one would expect, numerous teams were after Fasusi. During his recruitment, he collected scholarship offers from 37 programs, including Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Penn State, Tennessee and USC.
Fasusi took visits in May and June then narrowed his big decision down to a final five of Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Mizzou and Oregon in July. On Wednesday, he had hats on the table for the Sooners, Longhorns and Aggies.
