Free Rivals - Top players tell others: Don't rush your decision

Glen Ellyn (Ill.) Glenbard West defensive tackle Tommy Schutt, the No. 64 player in the Rivals100, committed to Notre Dame, Penn State, and Ohio State during his process. He wishes now he had only made one commitment.

Schutt said many factors played a role in his multiple changes of heart. Perhaps the biggest: He did not make the choice for himself.

He hopes future players won't make the same mistake he did.

"Don't take other people's word for it," he said. "There are things some people will think are great about a school or a campus that you won't and the other way around. You may have interests that they don't. You need to find out for yourself."

Schutt took an official to Ohio State in December after Urban Meyer joined the staff and committed to the Big Ten school.

"I was really glad I took the visit (to Ohio State)," he said. "It made a huge difference."
