ULL, ULM, LA Tech, Southeastern, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Pittsburgh have all offered as well as a few other smaller schools. Briggs said the top colleges that he would like to attend are Tennessee, LSU, Southern Mississippi, Minnesota, and Pittsburgh, and LSU, in fact, visited Briggs at his house two nights ago. Out of all these schools, Briggs said that he really doesn't have a favorite and that he would be happy to play football for any of them.

Briggs finished the season with some excellent stats. He had 60 receptions for 16 touchdowns and 870 yards.
Briggs said that he's influenced by his uncle Jake Reed who played for the the Minnesota Vikings.
