Coveted 4-star safety Kenaz Sullivan locks in top four schools

Four-star The St. James Academy (Va.) safety Kenaz Sullivan has narrowed down his list of more than 20 offers to just four schools, he tells Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett.

Among the finalists are Ohio State, Florida, Tennessee and Maryland.

Sullivan is fresh off an official visit with the Gators over the weekend, and also has trips locked in to see the Volunteers June 5, the Buckeyes on June 12, and the Terrapins on June 19.

His recruitment has been a but of whirlwind to this point, with Indiana seen as one of the favorites earlier this spring. The Hoosiers are now out of the mix, as are South Carolina and Virginia Tech, who rounded out his top seven schools back in April.

On offense, he carried the ball 23 times for 200 yards (8.7 YPC) and four touchdowns, also hauling in 32 receptions for 808 yards and seven more scores. He finished the season with more than 1,000 all-purpose yards, also contributing in the return game.
