Elite DB Javien Toviano of Arlington (TX) Martin High is down to five schools– Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan, LSU, and Georgia.

The 6-foot-1, 185 pounder will announce his college decision on December 15th.

He went in-depth on his finalists in a previous interview.

Texas

“UT was my first big offer!  It’s also the place that I have the most relationships with regardless of staff changes. I have guys that played with from high school on the roster and they say they love it and being a part of changing the (Texas) brand is huge going in to play at the next level.”

Texas A&M

“A&M is definitely the place that feels the most ‘home’. The culture, The vibe that you get when you go to college station .. is second to none. The coaches [Coach Fisher and Coach Rushing ] are great people to be around. You can tell that they are guys that are gonna push you daily . It also helps to see the recently signed guys in 2022 and it doesn’t seem like they are backing off from adding on with 23’. I think that they have been doing a great job recruiting.”

Michigan 

“Michigan has kind of been a dark horse in my recruitment as of late. They are such a blue-collar program. I don’t think I could’ve left them off the list. The work they have done with corners is not unnoticed. Coach Bellamy, Coach Harbaugh, Coach Clink … I know guys like those are guys that focus on bettering the man over the player. I think that’s what sticks out about them most.”

LSU

“I absolutely love LSU. The vibe that I got when I visited there, the coaches and the relationships that I’ve made so far makes me feel great about the university. I know that my opportunities there are endless there.To be able to come in and have an instant impact on the program , to hoist a national championship for the first time in four years as well as being a long list of highly respected guys that played the position and to have success at it would be honorable. It’s a place I can very well see myself at!”

Georgia 

“Georgia has a special place in my heart. From the day I stepped on campus I felt the vibe in the culture of winning that Coach Smart portrays to the college football world. It’s a different vibe that you get … it’s not like everywhere else. They do everything at a high standard and do it for a reason. The new hire with Coach Fran Brown [Corners coach] as well as having Coach Muschamp on staff and Coach smart … I think that just makes it easier to know that you’re gonna be developed at the highest level possible. When you see Georgia having 10+ defensive guys drafted in the NFL draft in 2022 it just speaks high values for them and I know that they are going to be a contender year in and year out.”

Toviano ranks as the No. 53 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting sites. He also tabs in as the No. 6 safety and the No. 9 player in the state of Texas.
