DEL.ICIO.USThree additional offers for Henry County receiver
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Marshall, Michigan and N.C. State are the most recent programs to jump on the Jamal Patterson recruiting bandwagon.
Scholarship offers from these three programs this month has pushed the 6-foot-2, 188-pound Henry County receiver’s offer count past 40.
Patterson said he plans to give the Michigan offer strong consideration.
“Distance from home isn’t a factor,” Patterson said. “It such an honor to receive an offer from Michigan.
“Getting an offer from any school is an honor, but one from a school with that much prestige is big time.”
After winning a state championship in the 110-meter hurdles on Saturday, Patterson turned his focus to spring football two days later.
College scouts have turned out in large number to get a glimpse of the talented junior.
“Coaches from Tennessee, Oregon and Richmond were there on Monday,” Patterson said. “And coaches from Southern Cal, Troy and Miami attended practice on Tuesday.”
Georgia receivers coach John Eason is expected to attended practice at Henry County on Thursday. As of late Tuesday, Georgia has not yet offered Patterson.
Georgia defensive coordinator Willie Martinez and Alabama assistant coach Kirby Smart were among the spectators in attendance at Saturday’s track and field championship in Jefferson.
Patterson said his body was up for the challenge of a quick transition from track to football.
“It’s different on your body running on rubber and asphalt then getting on grass,” he said. “But I feel like I’m in great shape.”
