Crunch time on the recruiting trail is heating up with teams forced to take a closer look at identifying desired talents for respective 2017 classes as National Signing Day draws closer and closer. One of the top recruits out of the junior college ranks who is seeing a big spike in interest and offers is Northeastern Oklahoma A&M tight end Mik’Quan Deane.

Deane is an integral component in NEO A&M’s high scoring offense that averages 40.9 points per contest and 523.6 total yards per game. The air attack covers 327 yards while the ground game is picking up 196 per contest with Deane contributing as a tough as nails blocker and a defensive matchup nightmare in the passing game. Through eight games played, Deane has 16 receptions for 263 yards moving the line of scrimmage on average 16.4 yards every time he touches the ball, tops on the team with players securing seven or more passes, showcasing his 4.49 speed. His three trips to the end zone are tied for a team-high.

Colleges are sold on Deane being a difference maker with Arizona State, Louisville, Nebraska, New Mexico, Pitt, South Alabama, Syracuse, Colorado State, UAB, South Florida, Central Florida, and BYU all offering picking up another offer from East Carolina on Oct. 24. Teams showing interest includes Texas, Auburn, Oregon, South Carolina, and Texas A&M.

In a previous RNG interview, Deane sited potential official visits to “Syracuse, Central Florida, South Florida, and maybe Pitt and Louisville.” Two visits have now been set with Central Florida hosting the 6-4, 245 pound, tight end on Nov. 19 and South Florida getting his other visit on Dec. 9.
