Spoke with the father of St. Clairsville (Oh.) linebacker Brendan Ferns earlier today and he told me that a lot of schools are trying to visit him and get in the mix. Ferns will be visited by Penn State tonight and then West Virginia is expected to stop by next week although an exact date has yet to be set. I asked him about the possibility for official visits and his father told me he is not sure because he is also playing basketball and will have a packed schedule. Ferns and his high school basketball team play Chase Harler and his Wheeling Central team next week and I'm considering heading up there to take in the game and try to get an update from the source.
