Tucker’s Calhoun commits to LSU
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Recent junior day visits to Alabama, Florida, Georgia and LSU proved to be all Tucker running back Drayton Calhoun needed to see to determine where he will play college football.
“I committed to LSU Tuesday night,” Calhoun said late Wednesday. “I just liked the facilities, the coaches, the players and the location.”
Calhoun toured the LSU campus on Saturday.
“When I got there, we walked around and I saw the facilities,” he said. “We watched film, went to the indoor weight room, locker room and meeting rooms.
“Then we went over to the stadium and the academic center. After that, we went to the basketball game.”
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Calhoun, who is being recruited as an athlete, said Georgia was near the top of his recruiting list.
“Georgia had a very good chance,” he said. “But LSU’s facilities are much better. And I was trying to get away from home a little bit.”
Calhoun plans to enroll at LSU in January.
“I think it’s a great opportunity,” Tucker coach Franklin Stephens said. “I think he’s going to go to college and do well.
“He had several ACC and SEC offers. He couldn’t have gone wrong with any of them.”
