Kyle Prater is fielding offers from some of the top schools in the country.

The ESPNU 150 Watch List member is spending his summer training, trying to narrow down his college choices, hanging with his best friend and of course, listening to music. He told ESPN RISE the top five musicians in his iPod.

1. Lil Wayne
"His music gets me charged before the game."

2. Gucci Man
"He's from the South and so is most of my family [from Mississippi]."

3. Trey Songz
"He's an R&B dude whose music is good when I'm in a laid back mood."

4. Michael Jackson
"May God rest the soul of the King of Pop. Everyone knows his music."

5. Jay-Z
"Listen to the words; his music tells the truth."
