Duke may be on the verge of extending a scholarship offer to Roswell quarterback Dustin Taliaferro.
“He’s hoping for an offer from Duke,” Roswell coach Tim McFarlin said. “They were with us [on Thursday] evaluating, watching film and talking to him. That’s where he’ll go if he’s offered.
“He’s got several offers from Ivy League schools. Penn would be at the top of that list.”
Roswell kicker Jim Broadway could commit as early as Friday.
“He’s been offered by Navy and some I-AA programs,” McFarlin said. “But he’s holding off because Miami (Ohio) has come in and will let me know [if they will offer]. I’ll know [on Friday].
“If they do offer, that’s where he’ll go.”
Roswell linebacker Zack Waddell plans to visit one of the military academies this weekend.
“Zack has lots of offers,” McFarlin said. “He’s going to visit the Air Force Academy. That’s a strong one.
“He’s also considering Western Carolina.”
Heard still weighing Kentucky offer
Mays’ receiver Corey Heard continues to debate whether to accept a scholarship offer from Kentucky.
“I’m leaning toward the Wildcats,” Heard said. “But I’m kind of waiting until signing day to decide.
“I’m trying to see about other offers, but I do like Kentucky. I’ve been hearing from Illinois and Georgia Tech.”
