We offered this kid and from reading his twitter, seems like Miami was the offer he wanted (I know, I know). Watch the tape and you will be impressed.
This kid goes to the same high school I graduated with.
His school is about 35 minutes from Athens, and a little over 50 minutes from Clemson.
His old teammate a 4 star RB Tyshon Dye signed with Clemson in 2013.
With that said this is a heavy UGA town/community.
The old high school booster club president played at UGa, not sure if he still is the president or not.
This high school scoreboard used to be UGA's in Sanford Stadium, but I think he pulled strings to get it to the high school stadium when they got a new one.
The reason Tyshon signed with Clemson is the high school principal graduated from Clemson, and an assistant coach a few years back was a huge Clemson fan took Tyshon to camps games etc...
He is no longer at Elbert, and it's a huge UGA community so Miami would really have to recruit him hard and well.
He is an elite athlete. His dad was a local legend as a RB, and his first cousin was all state as a RB one year, then all state DB the next.
He has the genes for sure.
He started QB as a 9th grader and was already one of the better players in the area.
He got hurt at the end of the season, and they went from competing for the region title to missing the playoffs all together.
He came back as a sophmore, and led them to the region title as a true sophmore.
