The freshmen arrive
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This week one of the most heralded groups of Georgia Tech football recruits arrives on campus. Their first day of classes is June 18.
Derrick Morgan and Steven Threet got a one-semester head start, of course, but now they will be joined by the other members of the class Giff Smith assembled. It’s an amazing group, noteworthy not just for the depth of talent but also, football staffers say, for the interconnectedness. From what I’ve been told, these guys aren’t going to have to take a lot of time to get to know each other; they’ve been texting and talking for months.
How quickly will Nick Claytor get onto the field at offensive tackle? How does athletic quarterback Josh Nesbitt fit into an offense in which the starter is a passer, not a runner? Will D.J. Donley mesh so well with Taylor Bennett in summer workouts he’ll be catching passes in games this fall? What kind of career will Parade All-America running back Jonathan Dwyer have at Tech? Some things to think about as the freshman class of 2007 become, well, freshmen.
