Four-star runningback DeaMonte Trayanum could be a committed recruit within the next month and the Akron Hoban product will be taking four June official visits in an effort to find the right school.

Trayanum, 6-foot, 215-pounds, took his first official visit this past weekend to Arizona State and he was joined by his mother and sister on the trip. The visit raised the program up in Trayanum's first view of the school.

"The visit to Arizona State definitely surpassed my expectations going into it," Trayanum admitted. "As soon as I landed, I thought to myself how beautiful everything was and how different it is from Ohio. When I got to the campus I could see it was a special place, and I honestly liked everything about Arizona State."

"Everything we did on the visit was meaningful and I really learned a lot about what Arizona State can do for me," he added. "It was a great experience for my mom too, and she got answers to all the questions she had. It wasn't just a great trip for me, but for my family as well. I left there thinking this could be a school I can see myself at for four years. I am going to compare all my visits at the end and make my decision."

"I was with Coach (Herman) Edwards a lot on the visit and he is a great guy to be with," he continued. "He made me feel very wanted as did the whole coaching staff. Everybody there has goals and the team was only one game away from playing for the PAC-12 championship. I felt like I fit in well with their players and they were all really cool. The visit raised up Arizona State in my eyes."

Trayanum also has official visits coming to Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Penn State this month. He could possibly make his decision at The Opening in early July.

"My next official visit will be to Wisconsin this coming weekend, and then I will be at Ohio State on June 17 before finishing up my officials at Penn State on June 20," Trayanum explained. "This will be my first trip to Wisconsin and I'm looking forward to seeing the campus and meeting with the coaching staff."

"I want to learn a lot, take in a lot of information about Wisconsin, and see how I fit in there," he noted. "I have a good relationship with (assistant coach) Joe Rudolph and the whole staff. They think I'm a back that can come in and carry on the tradition at Wisconsin."

"Things are good at Ohio State and I have a good relationship with both (assistant coach) Tony Alford and (head coach) Ryan Day," he said. "Coach Day was my area recruiter under Coach (Urban) Meyer, so I know him well. They want me as a runningback and they aren't recruiting me for any other position."

"Penn State is a school I'm very comfortable with and I've been there three or four times already," he concluded. "I really like Coach (James) Franklin, Coach (Terry) Smith, and Coach (Ja'Juan) Seider a lot. They are telling me I can be the next guy at Penn State running the football, and that sounds good to me."

Trayanum is rated as the No. 24 runningback prospect in America by the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.
