Trick or Treat: Dontavius to choose on Oct. 31
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Heard County’s Dontavius Jackson, rated the 12th-best running back in the nation by Scout.com, plans to commit to Clemson, Georgia or LSU on Wednesday.
“I just wanted to do it at the end of the month,” said Jackson, when asked why he chose Oct. 31 to make the announcement at his school in Franklin.
Jackson refused to tip his hand over whether his mind is already set on the school he will sign with in February.
“I’m just waiting on Wednesday,” he said.
When asked if the winning school has already been alerted, Jackson responded: “they’ll find out on Wednesday.”
In what may bode as bad news for the Georgia nation, Jackson attended games at Clemson and LSU this fall but didn’t make a scheduled visit to Athens.
“I haven’t visited Georgia yet,” he said. “I just didn’t go.”
In lieu of the customary routine of picking a hat, Jackson will use a Halloween theme instead.
“One of the coaches’ wives carves pumpkins,” he said. “I’ll be choosing a pumpkin.”
The logo or mascot of Jackson’s finalists will be carved into the three pumpkins.
