Guys, I just spoke a few minutes ago with Battlefield (Va.) three-star DE Brailyn Franklin, who just picked up his sixth offer today, from Old Dominion. He also has offers from VT, Temple, Kansas, Marshall and Maryland.

Franklin and a handful of his teammates visited the Hokies March 24, for their second practice of the spring. Franklin told me he liked sitting in on the linebackers meeting with defensive coordinator Bud Foster, hanging out with his teammates and watching VT practice. Franklin said he also enjoyed talking one-on-one with coach Justin Fuente on the trip.

Overall, Franklin said nothing has changed in how he views the Hokies. He always likes talking with Foster and told me, "I like it a whole lot. It’s like I’m at home."

The other one that seems to have his attention is Maryland. Franklin said he visited there a few days after he was at VT. He spoke at length with assistant coach Mike London and told me he liked how London was "down to earth." Franklin got his offer from ODU today while on a visit there. He didn't get into a lot of specifics there, but told me they have a lot going for them there.

Franklin said he has no dates for other visits, but wants to see Temple and Maryland next month. If I had to say right now, I do think Franklin is a slight lean for Maryland, but not by a lot. You can also see that in him making a return visit this soon there. He also plans to participate next week at the Nike Camp in northern Virginia and April 30 at the Rivals camp in New Jersey.
