Will Mallory, who has around 30 scholarship offers, is enjoying the recruiting process.

But the stud Jacksonville (Fla.) Providence four-star tight end admits it can be much to handle sometimes.

 “It’s busy. It’s good. I’m enjoying the process, but it can get overwhelming at some points,” Mallory told The Clemson Insider.

That and the fact Mallory wants to know where he’s going before his senior season begins are why he is entering the latter stages of his recruitment.

“Right now I’m kind of narrowing it down,” he said. “I kind of want to be decided by the end of the summer just so I can know exactly where I’m going to be.”

Mallory (6-5, 210), whose dad and two of his uncles played at Michigan, has offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Tennessee and USC among others.

He named his short list of contenders, which includes the perceived top trio of Miami, Michigan and Georgia.

“It’s pretty narrow,” he said. “Miami, Michigan, Georgia, Clemson and Notre Dame.”

Mallory visited Georgia last Thursday before impressing with his performance at The Opening Atlanta Regional at Buford High School on Sunday. He mentioned getting back to Clemson for another visit.

“I imagine I’ll probably get up to Clemson or to Miami or Michigan again,” he said.

Mallory attended Clemson’s 54-0 victory over Syracuse in November.

“It was pretty cool,” he said. “It wasn’t even a great game, but just the atmosphere there was pretty special.”

It was a short stay on campus for Mallory, which is why he said he wants to see more of the campus, the academic aspect of things and talk further with Clemson’s coaching staff.

“I didn’t get a chance to look at all of campus because I was up there and it was nighttime,” Mallory said. “By the time the game was over we just had to leave, so I want to go out and check all the academic stuff and sit down with the coaches a little more.”

Mallory said he likes the prominent role tight ends play in Clemson’s offense and overall what Clemson continues to build as a program.

“I like the way they’re tight-end friendly,” he said. “It’s a beautiful campus from what I saw, and they’ve obviously got something special going on there right now.”

 A few factors carry weight for Mallory when considering college choices.

“If they have a vision for me,” he said. “The way they see me playing in their offense for tight end. The people there, the academics and just if it feels like home.”

Mallory is ranked as the No. 2 tight end and No. 114 overall prospect in ESPN’s Junior 300.
