"I really like Alabama," Tebow said. "The coaching staff is great and they are more than just coaches. I love those guys as people. I always love being around them. I respect them and really like them. They are just a great staff. Plus, Alabama has so many great things about the school, the tradition, the talent, the athletes and they (the fans) just love Alabama football.
"A lot of the same things can be said about LSU. They are very similar to Alabama. Coach (Les) Miles and Coach (Jimbo) Fisher are terrific. They have great facilities and maybe the best that I have seen. LSU is great people and I like them a lot."
Tebow will visit Michigan (Nov. 19) this weekend, then Florida (Nov. 26) and go to Southern Cal (Dec. 3) for his fifth and final official visit.
"I went to Michigan last year for an unofficial visit and I really enjoyed it," Tebow said. "I love what they do with quarterbacks, the coaches are great and they have a super program.
"Coach (Urban) Meyer and his staff care so much about their kids at Florida. I love that. I also know how hard they work and they are recruiting so well. They don't have all the players they need but they will soon and Florida will get to the next level.
"USC is a school I am still learning about and it's the only school that I have not been to. In a short time I have built a good relationship with the coaches there. I want to go out there and get to know them better and see what they are all about.
"It is down to those five schools and I will take a strong look at everyone."
