FORT MILL, S.C. — College coaches looking for a dynamic receiver at the tight end position are loving Javonte Vereen’s game.

The Havelock (N.C.) High area talent minced defenses during his junior campaign, catching 31 passes for 985 yards with 12 scores. Fifteen colleges have jumped on his board early with a long list of schools on the verge of pushing him over the 20-offer milestone. All is happening as Vereen pieces together an early top schools list.
