John Broussard, the 2016 four-star cornerback from Central-Phenix City, told AL.com that he now has a top 6.

"FSU, Auburn, LSU, South Carolina, Kentucky and Georgia are the schools I'm most interested in," Broussard said. "In no particular order."

The talented player is the No.5 cornerback and No.45 overall player in the country, according to 247sports Composite. At 6-foot-1, 164 pounds, Broussard has the size to be a great defensive back at the next level. He has the frame to add a little more weight before he enrolls at his school of choice in 2016.

Recently, Broussard took a visit to South Carolina to check out the Gamecocks' program. He said that he enjoyed the visit enough to put South Carolina in his top group.

Before visiting Columbia, Broussard took a visit to Georgia for Dawg Night. He liked the feeling he got while in Athens.

"It was good up there," he said. "I got to talk to coach (Mark) Richt and coach (Jeremy) Pruitt."

Broussard is excited about the upcoming football season and admits that playing with other Division I talent at practice makes him a better player. He particularly likes being able to go up against a great back in Traveon Samuel, the 2015 running back with offers from elite programs across the country.

"It's great being able to go up against Traveon in practice," Broussard said. "We make each other better."

Central will start practicing in full pads next week.
