Warren Central wide receiver Zechariah Wallace has cut his list to five schools.
Wallace, who led the Warriors last season with 42 receptions for 728 yards and 11 touchdowns, will choose from Chattanooga, Illinois State, North Dakota State, Stony Brook and Western Michigan.
Wallace has official visits lined up to Illinois State (May 10-11), Western Michigan (May 29-31), Stony Brook (June 12-13) and North Dakota State (June 16-18). He said the Chattanooga visit will likely come later.
Illinois State already has a commitment from one of the state’s top 2027 quarterbacks in Brownsburg’s Oscar Frye.
