Perry coach: ‘Bama, Gators ahead of UGA for star OG

Based on Perry coach Andy Scott’s description of his junior guard, there’s little reason to wonder why schools such Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Miami, South Carolina and Tennessee have extended scholarship offers to Johnnie Farms.
“He’s just a dominating offensive lineman who will maul a defensive lineman,” Scott said. “He squats over 500 pounds, benches around 400 and is a physical specimen. He can physically dominate people.
“He has got a tremendous motor. He plays hard, from snap to the echo of the whistle.”
The Crimson Tide and Gators appear to be the co-favorites to score a commitment from Farms.
“I think there’s a good amount of interest [in the Dogs] with him being a Georgia boy, but if I had to say right now it would come down to Alabama and Florida,” Scott said.
The 6-foot-3, 305-pound Farms will likely wait until the fall to commit.
“I think he enjoys the recruiting process,” Scott said. “I think he wants to make the absolute best decision he can. He studies it, looks at internet sites and looks at depth charts.
“He’s gone through just about every junior day and gone to a lot of unofficial visits. He even took an unofficial visit to Notre Dame.
“It will be a shock to me if he didn’t wait until September or October to commit. He’s already marked his calendar. There are quite a few good football games he wants to see first before he makes a decision.”
