It is up to eight now for Luiji Vilain.

Yesterday afternoon on twitter, Gridiron Academyā€™s Victor Tedondo announced that Class 2017 prospect Luiji Vilain received his eighth offer from NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team, Tennessee Vols:

 

In addition to the Vols, the 6ā€™4, 235 pound defensive end from Ottawa, OntarioĀ  also has offers on the table from Wisconsin Badgers, Virginia Cavaliers, Penn State Nittany Lions, Syracuse Orange, Minnesota Gophers, South Florida Bulls and Rutgers Scarlet Knights (future home of #CFC100 top ranked Patrice Rene)

Earlier this week, Vilain offered in an interview with Scout.comā€™s Scott Hellman that four schools are being very tenacious in their recruitment efforts ā€“ Penn State, Wisconsin, Rutgers and Syracuse.

In August, the Ottawa defensive standout offered insight as to when and how the announcement surrounding his decision will unfold.

ā€œIt feels great to be given these offers byā€¦great schools,ā€ commented Villain.Ā  ā€œI plan on committing next year, the same day as Jonathan Sutherland (fellow Gridiron Academy attendee and Class 2017 recruit).”
