Reeves to visit Ole Miss; New offers for Mettenberger
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Stone Mountain receiver Charles Reeves Jr. will take an official visit to Ole Miss on Dec. 18.
Reeves, who is considering Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, North Carolina, Tennessee and Southern Cal, is looking forward to meeting new Rebels coach Houston Nutt.
“I had already got to meet [former Ole Miss] coach [Ed] Orgeron and all his coaches,” Reeves said. “I was disappointed [that he was fired] because if I was going to Ole Miss the reason was the coaching staff.
“But I’ll have an open mind. You never know, I might like [coach Nutt] better.”
Reeves hopes to take official visits to Tennessee and Southern Cal prior to national signing day in February.
“I thought about visiting Hawaii, but they said you have to commit before you go there on an official,” Reeves said.
Offers rolling in for Mettenberger
Oconee County junior quarterback recently picked up scholarship offers from Boston College and Ole Miss.
The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder was offered by Florida State during the summer.
“I’ve never been a Seminoles fan, but I like [Florida State offensive coordinator] Jimbo Fisher a lot,” Mettenberger said. “If they keep recruiting me, I’ll keep looking at them and see what happens.”
Mettenberger was delighted to see Nutt named the new coach at Ole Miss.
“They definitely went higher in my book when they made that hire,” he said. “I’ll keep following them and see what happens.”
Mettenberger said he has no problem leaving the southeast and playing football in Boston.
“I’m willing to go anywhere as long as I get an opportunity to compete and have a chance at the starting job,” he said.
Alabama, N.C. State, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest are also recruiting Mettenberger.
Farley schedules visit
Grady linebacker Darryl Farley is considering offers from Georgia Southern, Marshall, Miami (Ohio), Tulane and Western Kentucky.
“I like Georgia Southern because it’s kind of close to home and I’ve got a good chance of early playing time,” Farley said.
Farley plans to visit Tulane in early January.
“I’ll probably commit on signing day,” he said.
