Four-star offensive tackle James Ohonba has been hounded in his recruitment by some of the bigger powerhouses like Michigan, LSU, and Alabama. However, he told Scout that he has a top two right now and while one of the names is to be expected, the other is a total shocker in Duke.

The 6'5", 320-pound colossus of a lineman said that schools like LSU, Michigan and USC have dropped off for a very specific reason.
"I'm still considering those schools, but haven't really been in contact with USC, Michigan and LSU. I still like them, but communication with them has been minimal. I'm also considering Duke."
