STEVE FILER, Linebacker from Chicago (Mt. Carmel), Illinois has several offers from schools such as Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Purdue, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, Virginia, Illinois, Stanford, California and others.
"Notre Dame is recruiting me the hardest." said Filer, "They text message me every day. I like Notre Dame because it's close to home and they have great academics."
"I was at Notre Dame's junior day's last week-end." he said, "I like coach Weis, I met him once before."
"Nebraska sends me letter once in awhile." said Filer, "They want me to come up for a spring practice, I probably won't because it's too far away. I'm not sure if I will visit them on an official visit either."
"Michigan is pretty cool." he said, "I haven't talked to their staff yet, but they want me to attend a spring practice."
"I like Dick Tressel (Ohio State)." he said, He writes to me every other day. He's a cool guy."
"Ohio State wants me to attend one of their spring practices too. I also have family that lives in Ohio."
When asked if Filer wanted to stay in the Big 10 area.
"Not really." said Filer, "I just want to give it some time and see what other offers I get. I don't have any favorites right now. I will narrow it down later, and would like to take all five visits. Academically, I'm looking for a good mechanical engeering school."
