The recruitment of Chason Virgil has been one of the more interesting to follow in the Lone Star State's 2015 class.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound three-star quarterback committed in mid-May to Mississippi State and planned to graduate this month with eyes on a January enrollment.

Well, that all changed Nov. 20, when Virgil's coach -- West Mesquite (Texas) head coach Jeff Neill -- told Scout that Mississippi State had pulled its offer and reduced it to a grayshirt offer, which re-opened Virgil's recruitment.

Since that day, Virgil has not had any lack of recruiting attention. He took a >Nov. 29 weekend official visit to Louisville, then officially visited Oklahoma the weekend Dec. 5. Virgil, who had an in-home visit from SMU on Dec. 4, has plans for a Fresno State official visit this weekend (Dec. 12).

Scout stopped by West Mesquite High on Wednesday to catch up with Virgil, who threw for 2,765 yards, 41 touchdowns, and only seven interceptions while leading West Mesquite to a 9-3 record and second-round playoff appearance. He also ran for more than 400 yards and eight touchdowns.

Here's Scout's Wednesday afternoon Q-and-A with Virgil:

SCOUT: You took an official visit to Louisville on Nov. 29. Recap that visit for us.

VIRGIL: Louisville was a great experience. It was a rivalry game so we got to see the whole atmosphere of the fans and how it actually goes down out there. It was fun to be able to sit down and talk with (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks) coach (Garrick) McGee and talk with (head) coach (Bobby) Petrino and be able to speak ball, and just look at the things that they have to offer me.

SCOUT: Recap your Oklahoma official visit trip for us, too.

VIRGIL: For OU, it was almost like the same thing. It was their rivalry game and seeing the whole atmosphere. It was a great opportunity to sit down with (co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks) coach (Josh) Heupel and (running backs) coach (Cale) Gundy and (head) coach (Bob) Stoops and be able to talk ball and just see what type of people they are and how the team works and things like that.

SCOUT: You have another official visit set for this weekend at Fresno State. Who's been recruiting you for Fresno State and what are you looking to get from the trip?

VIRGIL: (Secondary) coach (Marcus) Woodson has come down here. (Offensive coordinator/quarterbacks) coach (Dave) Schramm was down here yesterday and I spoke to him. Really just being able to get to see how it’s a family environment. I’ve heard a lot about their head coach (Tim DeRuyter) and I’ve seen what they’ve done over the past three years, by making it to the Mountain West championship and winning it (in 2013). This year they didn’t win it, but they made it. I really just wanna go down there and see how things are.

SCOUT: A lot of recruits set timelines for a decision, but with you graduating next week and planning to enroll in January, the deadline is virtually set for you. When are you planning to make an official decision?

VIRGIL: At this point I definitely have to decide quick because they have to still send everything to the school and make sure I’m able to get in. When I get back (Sunday) from my Fresno visit, some time beginning of next week I will probably be making my decision.

SCOUT: So, with all of that in mind, who are you considering? Are there any leaders?

VIRGIL: Basically, it’s some schools that I’ve visited and some schools I haven’t visited. That’s (the group of schools) it’ll come down to. I just want to be able to sit down with my family and go through each school.
