“Yes, I have four official visits set up and I will make a decision soon after,” stated Mauney, who confirmed that Army is very much in the mix.

“Yes and Yes,” he declared when asked if he was still considering the Black Knights.

“Army being ranked 19th was huge for their program and I see the great works Coach [Jeff] Monken is putting in.”

“They’re (Army West Point) still in the mix and I’m just trying to make sure I’m making the right decision as to where I want to spend my next 4-5 years,” added Mauney, who says that he has kept in contact with the staff.
