With more than a dozen Power Five offers and counting, Butler (Pa.) three-star offensive tackle Jake Kradel is using his offseason to take as many campus visits as he can so that he can make an informed decision about his recruitment when the time is right.

The 6-foot-4, 270-pound blocker currently holds offers from Boston College, Iowa State, Maryland, Minnesota, NC State, Pitt, Purdue, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, UConn, Wake Forest, West Virginia and more, and in order to cover all of that ground, he got a jump on his unofficials back in February, which is when the Terps anted up while Kradel toured College Park.

Kradel told TSR that former Terps offensive line coach, now special assistant to the head coach, Dave Borbely, came by his school during the last evaluation period to tell him that Maryland was very interested and would most likely offer eventually. From there, a relationship began to form between Kradel and Borbely, and in time, they were able to set up an unofficial visit to Maryland for the Keystone State native.
