    The father of potential Penn State starter Khairi Fortt told ESPN.com on Thursday his son is evaluating his options.

    Fortt, a junior linebacker, is expected to battle for the Nittany Lions' starting middle linebacker spot this fall. His father, Guy Fortt, said his son has had between 30 and 40 schools contact him since the NCAA announced severe sanctions on the program Monday.

    "TCU, UConn, Kansas, Washington, Auburn, Baylor, FSU, Vanderbilt and several others told him he has a scholarship at their program," Guy Fortt said. "He is torn, but I think he is doing his due diligence and evaluating his options."

    An ESPN 150 recruit and a U.S. Army All-America selection out of high school in Stamford, Conn., Fortt has seen action in 23 games for the Nittany Lions, racking up 50 tackles, including seven for a loss.

    "I think Khairi really believes there is a bond up there with those guys, so as a 19- or 20-year-old young man, it is tough to make a change in his life," Guy Fortt said. "They know each other, and they like each other, so it is a difficult decision for all of them."
