But during Purple Reign’s recent chat with three-star prospect Miles Shuler, the Long Branch, N.J., prospect gushed about Northwestern. So much so that one could be forgiven for thinking that, at the moment, Northwestern is the best bet to land Shuler.
His early interest is due, in part, to Northwestern’s early interest in him. NU, after all, was the second school to offer Shuler.
“I will always have that thing for Northwestern,” Shuler said. “They actually recruited me the heaviest, you know, they showed me a lot of attention. I love coach Fitzgerald. He’s energetic, he’s young. Coach Fitz is just a great coach and they have a great football system down there. I will always stay in contact with them just like I have been.”
Purple Reign caught up with Shuler as he was planning a call to NU coaches to talk visit. And when asked which schools, along with Northwestern, Shuler planned on visiting, there wasn’t a laundry list: “Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Northwestern – I know that for a fact.”
Contrast that with another Northwestern target like, say, Wayne Lyons, the four-star safety from Florida who says he has no idea which schools he is visiting. To be fair, Lyons has more than 30 offers (compared to about 10 for Shuler) and it’d be much harder for him to have sliced his massive list down just yet.
But Shuler has options too. The 5-10, 165-pounder has offers from Stanford, Michigan, Boston College and numerous others, yet he “knows for a fact” that Northwestern is one of the schools he’s visiting.
Besides NU’s early interest, Shuler has other reasons why he’s so high on the Wildcats. Echoing what Jordan Walsh said last week, Shuler is excited that (a) coach Pat Fitzgerald genuinely bleeds purple and (b) per his 2009 contract extension, Fitz figures to be entrenched for years to come.
“That’s a really big thing,” Shuler, who has been clocked at 4.38, said. “I know that coach Fitzgerald is staying there, he’s going to stay for the next seven or eight years. That’s a big thing. Coach Lane Kiffin went from Tennessee to USC, other coaches are jumping around, and I just know that coach Fitz is staying at Northwestern. That’s big for me.”
So, too, is NU’s spread offense, which Shuler spoke about giddily.
“Ah man,” Shuler said, “that’s awesome, that spread offense. I watched that (Outback) bowl game and I couldn’t believe it. They threw it 78 times.
“And the wide receivers were good, they were fine, but they didn’t have that speed to take it the distance. I’m thinking with my speed” – and here Shuler uses a voice like

• Quarterback/athlete Miles Shuler (Long Branch, N.J./Long Branch) worked out Sunday with the wide receivers. Shuler expects to play either wide receiver or running back in college, but looked more like a wide receiver. Shuler received a scholarship offer from Oklahoma last week to bring his total to 13. A lot can change, but early reports are that Pitt, Michigan, Oklahoma, Rutgers and Syracuse are the schools with the best shot at landing Shuler.

High school quarterback Miles Shuler (Long Branch, N.J.) has received scholarship offers from Notre Dame and Michigan State bringing his total up to 17, ESPN affiliate Web site IrishSportsDaily.com reports.
The Irish and Spartans join Oklahoma, Michigan, Rutgers, Boston College, Cincinnati, UConn, Duke, Louisville, Maryland, N.C. State, Northwestern, Pittsburgh, Stanford, Vanderbilt and West Virginia.
"I know there are other schools in the game," he said. "Northwestern, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Oklahoma, Stanford, Michigan are a few of the schools I like, but it's kind of hard to say when I have new schools coming in. I still have to do my homework. I really don't have a top right now. I'm going to do my homework on these new schools."
"I'm going to narrow it down by how when I go to a school, if I feel comfortable there, and if I can live there for four years of my life. I'll narrow it down to their football program, and meet my possible teammates and coaches, and see if I feel comfortable there. I'm going to see what's comfortable to me and see what I can narrow it down to," Shuler continued.
The 5-foot-10, 167-pound talent threw for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns while also rushing for more than 1,000 yards and 13 more scores last fall.
Shuler, who ran the nation's fastest 55-meter in 2009, has posted a 4.48 40-yard dash, 4.12 20-yard shuttle and 41.6-inch vertical on the combine circuit this offseason.
