The nation's top receiver has three top schools as he enters the second week of the recruiting dead period.
Tampa (Fla.) Catholic five-star Nate Craig-Myers lists Auburn, Ole Miss and North Carolina as his current favorites.
"Those three are probably sticking out a little more," Craig-Myers said. "All are great schools and are recruiting me really hard."
Craig-Myers has an official visit to Auburn scheduled for Jan. 15-17. He is set to take an official visit to Ole Miss on Jan. 29-31. Craig-Myers already has visited North Carolina.
"I also want to visit South Carolina and Maryland," Craig-Myers said.
Auburn will be next for Craig-Myers. The Tigers will play host to him the first weekend after the dead period ends on Jan. 13.
It will be the former Auburn commitment's first visit back to campus since the summer. But his season-long absence from Auburn isn't indicative of his interest level.
"My interest never went away from Auburn," Craig-Myers said. "They've always been high on my list."
The biggest reason? The bond he has with Auburn receivers coach/co-offensive coordinator Dameyune Craig, who also is Craig-Myers' area recruiter for the Tigers.
Craig made several visits with Craig-Myers before the dead period began Dec. 14.
"Coach Craig is a big factor for Auburn," Craig-Myers said. "He is probably the recruiter that pushes me the hardest, and not just at being a football player, but he pushes me to be a great young man."
Craig-Myers' decision to either sign with Auburn and play under Craig or sign elsewhere won't be made anytime soon. He plans to take his official visits, continue with in-home visits and announce his choice in February.
"It'll be on Signing Day," he said.
Craig-Myers, who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 205 pounds, broke the 1,000-yard receiving mark as a senior. He finished with 63 receptions for 1,018 yards (16.2 avg.) and 16 touchdowns. He also rushed for 98 yards on 13 carries and two scores.
Rivals.com ranks Craig-Myers the No. 13 overall player in the 2016 class and No. 3 from Florida.
