Carrollton (GA) four-star interior offensive lineman Zykie Helton has narrowed down his list of top seven schools and the Indiana Hoosiers football program has made the cut.

Helton's other top programs include Florida State, Colorado, Alabama Georgia, Texas A&M and Miami (FL).

He is the No. 259 overall player and No. 21 interior offensive lineman in the 247Sports composite ranking. He is also the No. 30 overall prospect from the state of Georgia.

Helton was at one time committed to Alabama before Nick Saban announced his retirement at the end of last season.

"“In my mind, I was like, ‘Let’s work,’” Helton said to BOL of DeBoer’s hiring. “I feel like he’s the next to do it. I know he lost the national championship, but I feel like he can go to Bama and do some special things.”"
