Tucker defensive back Neiko Lipscomb, who is coming off a visit to Auburn, hopes a trip to Georgia will materialize this weekend.
“I’m still waiting to find out about Georgia,” Tucker coach Franklin Stephens said Tuesday night. “Neiko went to Auburn last weekend and had a good visit.
“We’ll see what transpires with Georgia.”
The recent loss of Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, who now coaches at Texas, may have an impact on whether Lipscomb commits to the Tigers.
“I think recruits have to deal with relationships,” Stephens said. “And Muschamp was more than the defensive coordinator. He was the coach from Auburn that was recruiting Neiko.”
The 6-foot-1 Lipscomb could be a nice addition to the Dogs’ secondary. But with national signing day two weeks away, does Georgia have a scholarship remaining for Lipscomb?
Stephens believes the Dogs will make a run at his talented defensive back.
“I think Auburn and Georgia have a lot to offer, both academically and athletically,” Stephens said. “He’s going to have an opportunity to play on a very good football team.
“He has a hard decision to make. He’s choosing between two top-flight colleges.”
