Scout.com's #35 nationally ranked QB took in an unofficial visit to Oklahoma State this week.
"I left Tuesday morning, and we came back
Thursday morning," added Clayton Moore.
How did the visit go?
"It
went really well. I was very impressed. They have some new facilities. I think
it is a total of 171 million dollars that have been spent up there. It is worth
every penny of it because they are amazing."
The Cowboy's coaching
staff made a big impact with Moore.
"The facilities were nice, but
it was not only that, it was their coaches. They were really nice people. I spent
most of my time with Coach Gunther Brewer. He is son of Ole Miss' former coach,
Billy Brewer, so he has a lot of Mississippi ties. Coach Brewer is just a great
guy. I enjoyed every second I spent with him. I also spoke with Coach Gundy, and
he is just like Coach Brewer. Coach Gundy knows his offense and has so many great
ideas on what he wants to do with his QB's. I just enjoyed being around those
guys."
What surprised Moore the most about Oklahoma State?
"I
grew up around the SEC. That is all I have ever known. I mean, I knew about Texas
and Oklahoma, but not the Texas Tech's and OSU's of the conference. The Big 12
is not as weak as I thought it was going to be. They are getting better as a conference
too. I was looking at a magazine the other day and it had the Big 12 right behind
the SEC. Of course, nothing compares to the SEC, talent wise, but I watched a
lot of film while I was up there and the talent is great in this conference. It
is not much of a drop off. And I was also impressed with the talent that OSU had
on their team. They are very/very talented."
Where does this visit
put OSU?
"Very high. I can definitely see myself in the Orange and
Black uniform."
Who are they up there with?
"Ole Miss
is still up there. I am still going down there for their 3 Day Camp on June 10th
to see if I can get a scholarship. Hopefully I will perform well enough to get
one. Ole Miss is still very high on my list too. Louisville called and offered
me a few weeks back, and they are a very cool school. Tennessee, I am going up
there for their camp on June 14th. Tennessee is still high on my list. I am going
up to Oregon for a Nike combine on June 7th but I am going to look around their
campus after the visit is over. I am going to be very busy in June. Oh yea, I
am also going to Alabama on either the 3rd or 4th for their camp. It is going
to be hectic."
Moore holds scholarship offers from Louisville, Pitt,
Iowa, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin, Kansas, Indiana, New Mexico State, Nebraska, Oklahoma
State, USM, East Carolina and several more.
The 6' 2", 205 pound signal
caller led his team to the State Championship as a junior and had over 4, 000
yards of offense and 42 TD's.
