Brookwood running back Kenny Miles wasted little time accepting a scholarship offer from South Carolina.
The Gamecocks extended the offer to the 5-foot-10, 200-pound back on Saturday. Miles said yes before heading back to Snellville.
“He was on a visit and they offered him while he was there,” Brookwood coach Mark Crews confirmed. “He already had offers from schools like Central Florida and Memphis.”
Miles rushed for 2,178 yards and scored 27 touchdowns during the regular season for the Broncos.
“He’s got a great attitude and work ethic,” Crews said. “And he’s an awfully strong kid.”
Allen reaffirms plans to sign with Georgia
Dwayne Allen, a tight end for Terry Sanford High in Fayetteville, NC, attended Georgia’s victory over Auburn on Saturday and came away impressed with his 48-hour stay in Athens.
“It was a wonderful visit,” said Allen, who returned home from Athens on Monday morning. “I really felt at home.
“The game was great. And the blackout certainly helped the atmosphere.”
Allen, who is being recruited as a tight end, attempted to squelch rumors that he might be reconsidering the commitment he made to the Dogs in February.
“I’m with Georgia,” Allen said Monday evening.
Allen plans to be in Blacksburg, Va. on Saturday when Virginia Tech hosts Miami.
Jackson commits to N.C. State
Colby Jackson, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound fullback for Trinity Christian in Dublin, intends to play college football for N.C. State.
He will become the first player from the GISA Class AA program in central Georgia to play for a Division I program in nearly a decade.
“As far as tailbacks go, he’s a very tough runner with incredible vision,” Trinity’s athletic coordinator Chuck Carson said. “Sometimes, he’ll try to outrun you. Other times, he’ll look for you to make contact.”
Jackson has rushed for 2,356 yards and 38 touchdowns this season.
Trinity hosts Brentwood School in the first round of the GISA playoffs on Friday.
