"Everything was great to me," Stallings said. "The locker room, the coaching staff, it seemed like they are really trying to build the program." "It seemed like a family environment. They are trying to build it based all around family," Stallings said. "The concentrate on the players having a life after football."

"We just talked about the things I need to do with the (NCAA) clearinghouse and making sure my grades are good and take my tests," Stallings explained. "They want me to keep coming around and keep getting to know them."

Auburn, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida State and Texas A&M are five programs Stallings said are sticking out to him right now, but with over a dozen offers and more likely to come he has no certain timeframe.

"I liked it all. They build players that can go to the NFL and that's my main thing. That, and academics," Stallings said. "I want a place that can prepare me for the NFL, but also has good academics. I also want to be comfortable with where I'm at. I really like the environment at Tennessee," he said.
