The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Clemson has jumped on the Philip Lutzenkirchen recruiting bandwagon.
“I received an offer from Clemson [on Tuesday],” the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Lutzenkirchen said earlier today. “I’ve been talking to them since the beginning of the past football season.
“I’ve always thought their program is awesome. I’ve made two visits to Clemson, one to a game last year and to junior day.”
Clemson joins Auburn, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, Stanford and Troy as programs that have offered a scholarship to the talented Lassiter tight end.
“Auburn is still my front-runner,” he said.
Expect a commitment from Lutzenkirchen during the month of May.
“I plan to commit after spring practice,” he said.

Top Florida QB picks UGA
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The plan all along for Georgia was to pass on quarterbacks in 2008 and grab two in 2009.
Today the plan worked.
Aaron Murray, the top-rated quarterback in Florida, held a press conference at Plant Senior High School in Tampa, Fla. and committed to Georgia.
He is the ninth player to commit to Georgia. He and Zach Mettenberger of Oconee County High School, are the two quarterbacks in the class.
Murray picked Georgia over Florida and UCLA. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Murray has a contrasting style from that of Mettenberger. While Mettenberger is a true drop-back passer with a big arm, Murray provides some speed with the ball and can be utilized as a runner much like Logan Gray or D.J. Shockley.
Murray rushed for more than 900 yards and threw for more than 4,000 yards as a junior and was named the state’s Mr. Football for 4A schools. He will be a participant in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl held every January in San Antonio for the top high school prospects in the country.
