Tech among Page’s favorites; Thompson visits LSU
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Kenneth Page of A.C. Flora High in Columbia, S.C., rated the nation’s 11th-best guard prospect by Scout.com, is considering scholarship offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Georgia Tech, Maryland, North Carolina, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Stanford and Tennessee.
“They’re all pretty much even right now,” the 6-foot-4, 290-pound Page said, when asked to declare a front-runner.
Page, who will be at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia on Saturday when South Carolina hosts South Carolina State, attended the Gamecocks and Clemson’s season openers earlier this month.
“Clemson’s atmosphere was a lot louder,” he said. “But look at who they were playing against [Florida State]. It was the Bowden bowl.”
Page said he is fond of Tech.
“I like their location there in Atlanta,” he said. “And they’ve got a great football program.”
Thompson takes in LSU
Thomasville defensive tackle Brandon Thompson enjoyed the sights and sounds of LSU’s blowout victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday in Baton Rouge.
“I really liked the atmosphere of their stadium,” Thompson said. “It was really amazing.
“I got to talk to a couple of the coaches before the game. I like the school.”
Thompson, who is scheduled to be at Bobby Dodd Stadium when Tech hosts Clemson on Sept. 29, will be a guest of South Carolina on Saturday when the Gamecocks entertain South Carolina State.
“I really don’t know what to expect at South Carolina,” he said. “I just want to go over there and have a good time.”
With offers from Clemson and Tech in his recruiting portfolio, Thompson is especially eager for the ACC showdown in downtown Atlanta later this month.
“I think Georgia Tech has a great team with a potent offense,” Thompson said.
Riverdale’s Glenn still searching
After narrowing his choices to Alabama, Georgia, LSU and South Carolina in August, Riverdale tackle Cordy Glenn anticipated an early September commitment.
But the 6-foot-5, 310-pound Glenn appears weeks away from choosing a college.
“There’s really nothing new,” he said. “I’m still looking.”
Glenn, who is still working to set up Saturday visits, said he wasn’t shocked by South Carolina’s road victory over Georgia last weekend.
“I really wasn’t surprised,” he said. “South Carolina has a good team. It was just a tough ballgame.”
