According to Lawndale (Calif.) Leuzinger recruiting coordinator Ralph Oliver, Leuzinger defensive back Deshawn Mills, a 2008 graduate, will take an official visit next week to a Big 12 school.

"Deshawn has set up an official visit to Texas A&M," said Oliver. "They want him to come in the middle of the week, on May 21st. They like him and could offer him because they want him to come in and potentially sign so he can come in this fall. If he gets an offer, I believe he will accept it."

Mills, who was one of the top unsigned prospects in Southern California in the class of 2008, was weighing his options of a D-I walk-on spot or going the JC route.

Mills was tough to pass on last fall, picking off six passes and recording 34 tackles.

The 5-11, 180-pound Mills also caught the ball well for the Olympians, catching 30 passes for 823 yards and five touchdowns.

Oliver said that Mills will be a full qualifier.
