"I've just been going over the offseason program at my high school," Raulerson said. "Just taking trips to Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Oklahoma State. I'm trying to take things easy and focus on getting better as a player. I'm also working toward my decision."
"Tennessee is a lot like Gainesville," Raulerson said. "The whole town is huge on the football team and the downtown area and campus have the same feel. I liked everything about it. It was good to hang out with coach (Don) Mahoney and (Robert) Gillespie. The facilities were really impressive and I got to tour the business building. That's what I might major in."
"I talk to both of them about the same," Raulerson said. "They did a good job of recruiting my family. They really have similar recruiting styles. I was there with my parents and my two brothers and they liked it. They are losing several linemen and they tell me I could come in and compete for playing time. They say Tennessee is on the rise and that's pretty cool to me. I want a program that the coaches believe in."
"Playing time is important," Raulerson said. "Also the academic side is very important and I want a school with good facilities. I want to feel comfortable with the coaching staff and that feeling of stability." "I'm just going to go with my family and family friends that have influence on me," Raulerson said. "They just tell me to do what is best for me. They want me to choose a school that I'll be proud of and that I'll be successful at."
