Livingstone dives into his top schools

Livingstone discussed three of his finalists with On3’s Sam Spiegelman on Feb. 20.

South Carolina: “I love (Shane) Beamer, I love (Dowell) Loggains and (Justin) Stepp. They’re all great people, they’re easy to talk to. For the most part, it’s not just about football. They know how to have fun and that’s something I like. They’re great people.”

Texas: “I’ve been talking to (Chris Jackson) quite a bit and coach (Steve Sarkisian) quite a bit, and it’s been fun. Austin is a great place.”

“I’ve been talking with the players, with Arch (Manning) and Colton (Vasek) a lot, too, so it’s been fun with Texas,” he added. “It was great to meet them and they’re very nice people, they know what’s up and were giving me advice on Texas, on the recruiting process as a whole, and it was awesome to spend time with them.”

Texas A&M: “Coach (James) Coley and I have had a lot of conversation since I got the offer and we’ve been for a while. Texas A&M is a powerhouse. They have a great culture, and they’ve had great players in the past. What I like — it’s not just about football; it’s also about education, culture, the college, and what the college town brings.”

Meanwhile, LSU caught Livingstone’s attention during his visit to Baton Rouge this month. He met with head coach Brian Kelly, offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock and wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton. Livingstone also caught up with receiver Kyle Parker, his former high school teammate and a four-star wide receiver last cycle.

“It was fantastic,” Livingstone told Billy Embody of The Bengal Tiger on April 5. “(I liked) Everything, the coaches really stood out how nice and welcoming they were. (They stand) really high. It was outstanding.”
