CU is among the programs recruiting Madden the hardest. This one will be tough, though. I expect he'll be a 4* prospect and have then entire Pac 10 after him for his signature. Our hope is that we can get off to a good start this season and get him in for a visit. I think it will be USC or Washington, but it's so early that it's hard to tell. Madden would definitely be a major get for CU.

The Huskies may have been the first to offer the talented linebacker but they could soon be getting some company because he is getting serious recruiting attention from Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon, USC, Colorado and Boise State.
Madden recently took in USC's junior day.
What is Madden looking for in a college?
"A great atmosphere," Madden said. "I would like to be close to home, not in location, but a place that I could live at outside of school. I also want to play on a great team.
Madden will take in at least two camps. He is planning on going to the NIKE Camp in April and the USC Rising Stars Camp in June.
A hard worker, Madden has a current bench of 350, squats an amazing 600-pounds and has recorded a 34-inch vertical jump.
