Jarboe to visit LSU; Lipscomb eyes major offers
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Josh Jarboe of Cedar Grove, rated the 15th-best receiver in the country by Scout.com, said Monday evening he’s “very interested” in Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
His first in-season trip will likely be to Baton Rouge in September.
“I’m planning on visiting LSU,” Jarboe said. “I’m just waiting for the coaches to set the date.”
Tucker’s Lipscomb favors ACC, SEC, Big 10 schools
Tucker receiver/defensive back Neiko Lipscomb continues to draw heavy interest from several Division I programs.
“[From the start of the recruiting process], he’s been interested in Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, Michigan State and Virginia Tech,” first-year coach Franklin Stephens said.
Lipscomb’s 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame might be better suited in the secondary rather than at receiver.
“[The recruiters] all like his height and his range,” Stephens said. “He runs exceptionally well. I think he’s the type of kid who can be a tall corner or safety.
“I think he’s still looking because he didn’t get to visit this summer. It will come down to his official visits and the coaches who are recruiting him.”
Urbano set to pull the trigger
Calhoun running back Adam Urbano will likely commit to Troy later this week.
“I’m pretty close to committing to Troy,” the 5-foot-9, 183-pound Urbano said Monday night. “I really like their program.
“I think I fit in good. And they’re talking about playing me as a freshman.”
Urbano recently claimed an offer from Georgia Southern and is being heavily recruited by UAB and Southern Florida.
“But Troy only offered two running backs [including Urbano] and they said they’re only planning on taking one. So I don’t want to hold out on them too long.
“And Troy has a really nice football facility. They’ve renovated their stadium, put in a field turf and have a new weight room.”
ACC and SEC offers for Portee
Defensive end A.J. Portee of Mays has scholarship offers from Auburn, Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt.
Mays coach Jesse Solomon said college recruiters are finding few flaws in Portee’s game.
“What do they like about him? Everything,” Solomon said.
Solomon wants to see his 6-foot-5, 210-pound lineman continue to grow.
“We’ve just got to put some more weight on him,” Solomon said. “I know they’ll put some more weight on him at the next level.”
