A taste of Southern Recruiting for 10/31

With all of the talent that plays high school football in the state of Georgia, it is a bit surprising to hear that Georgia Tech is trying to go national with its recruiting reach. Against Clemson, the Yellow Jackets welcomed a host of out-of-state players in for visits including quarterback Dennis Andrews of Tallahassee, FL, Tyler Stargel of Gulf Shores, AL, and Oxford, AL teammates Mike Flint and Trae Elston. Tech pledge Marcus Allen of Hilliard, FL was at the game as well.

One other interesting note from Georgia Tech’s recruiting big board is the race for the final running back spot. Allen has already jumped on board and many recruitniks believed that Allatoona’s Miles Jones would take the other spot and play in an A-Back role. However Kentucky pledge Shadrach Thornton of Liberty County (GA) has been on multiple visits to other locations including NC State and now Tech since “committing.” Word is that Thornton and not Jones is the Jackets top choice for the final tailback spot.

2013 super-prospect Uriah LeMay, a wide receiver from Butler High School in Matthews, North Carolina was offered by LSU over the weekend. That is significant considering LeMay’s older brother Christian is currently redshirting at the University of Georgia and many believed the Dawgs would have the inside track at the younger LeMay.
