Chamblee’s Uzzi considers Tech, UGA; N. Cobb’s Britain to Ohio
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Chamblee’s Omoregie Uzzi remains one of the top uncommitted players in the state.
The 6-foot-3, 291-pound guard said Tuesday evening he’s still considering scholarship offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Central Florida, Duke, Georgia, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Virginia.
With Chamblee set to play South Atlanta on Saturday, Uzzi’s first opportunity to attend a college game will come the following weekend.
“I’ll probably attend a game that day, somewhere,” he said.
Uzzi, who emphasized that he has no front-runner, will continue evaluating programs during the upcoming weeks. Uzzi said he has no definitive timetable in place to make a commitment.
“I’ll probably take some visits and keep talking to coaches,” he said.
North Cobb’s Britain bound for Ohio
North Cobb offensive lineman Matt Britain has committed to Ohio.
“I like the coaching there,” Britain said. [Former Nebraska] coach Frank Solich brought a lot of his staff with him to Ohio.
“I like all of them. I can’t wait to get to work with them.”
Britain will likely be shifted from tackle to the interior line.
“I play tackle now, but at the college level I think they’re looking at me at center or guard,” he said.
Britain chose Ohio over Central Florida.
“Previously, Central Florida was my number one,” said Britain, who also had offers from Ball State, Middle Tennessee State, Ole Miss, Troy, UAB and Western Michigan. “But once I saw Ohio in late July, it took over the number one spot.”
N.C. State for Tift County’s Allen
N.C. State has claimed a commitment from Tift County offensive lineman Zach Allen.
“I think what we do offensively is a big plus, as far as Zach being recruited by major Division 1 schools,” Tift coach Jay Walls said of the 6-foot-3, 310-pound Allen, who was being heavily recruited by Florida and Georgia and had offers from Middle Tennessee State, South Florida, Troy and UAB.
“We run the spread offense and try to run and throw the football and be balanced. Zach’s ability to run block, pass block and pull into the open field is very impressive.”
An offensive tackle for Tift’s Blue Devils, Allen will likely play guard for the Wolfpack.
King’s McKayhan eyes two offers
M.L King receiver Daniel McKayhan has offers from Air Force and Memphis and is being actively recruited by Duke and Mississippi State.
“He’s a game breaker,” King coach Corey Jarvis said. “Even though he could go play cornerback in college, he’s more of a wide receiver.
“He likes Memphis, but he hasn’t committed. Duke and Mississippi State like him. They just haven offered yet.”
