Brissett has narrowed his choices down to West Virginia, Louisville, Arkansas, N.C. State and Duke. Brissett has started three games in two seasons, completing 41-of-74 passes for 455 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions.
A recruit out of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., Brissett was a three-star recruit in the class of 2011 according to ESPN, rated a 78 overall. At 6-foot-4 and 220 lbs., he was also recruited by Alabama, Miami, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Washington.
