Mike Edwards thought he would be publicly committed with his decision behind him by now. But as it stands he's still waiting to announce the school he will attend.

Edwards announced on Twitter more than a week ago that he wanted to make his college decision but his coach at Cincinnati (Ohio) Winton Woods did not want him to quite yet.

Cats Illustrated reached out to him to clarify the situation now that some time has past.

"Actually I was going to make my decision with Mikel (Horton) but my coach and my parents wanted me to wait," Edwards said. "My mom, she's wanted to visit the place I want to go first. They just want to visit. They just want to come down to see everything. Now I'm going to make my (decision) sometime in May or June."

Edwards opted not to go on the record with the school that he has in mind.

He did add that there is a chance he could visit other schools before making his choice; namely, Clemson and Michigan State.

"I'm going to visit more than one (school) but I have an idea of what school I'm going to," he said.

The 6-foot, 180-pound defensive back is a near four-star prospect and ranked the No. 28 safety in the nation by Rivals.com. Edwards has offers from Kentucky, Louisville, Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska and Vanderbilt in addition to several schools from the mid-major ranks.

Edwards attend the Rivals Camp held in Cincinnati on Saturday though he did not participate because of a minor hamstring injury.

"It's good now," he said of the injury. "I'm actually jogging. I'm not running yet, though."

As a bystander at the camp he was able to interact with several top UK commits or targets including Horton, Drew Barker, Derek Kief and Darius West, among others.

He told Cats Illustrated that Barker and West were two participants that stood out to him.
