DEL.ICIO.USClemson eyeing Eastside quarterback
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Eastside-Covington coach Rick Hurst was on the coaching staff during Fabian Walker’s record-setting days at Americus in the late 1990s.
Hurst said his current quarterback, Justin Wray, may be just as good.
“As far as a passer, Justin is not the passer that Fabian was,” Hurst said. “But overall as an athlete, he is better.
“He has the ability to run and throw. Justin is a dual threat.”
A scholarship offer from Central Florida safely tucked away, a pair of ACC programs has made numerous inquiries on the 6-foot-2, 205-pound Wray.
“Justin is the number three quarterback on Clemson’s board,” Hurst said. “And Wake Forest will probably offer him as a defensive back or athlete.
“He’s actually drawing interest from every ACC and SEC school.”
Hurst isn’t surprised that Wray has just one offer.
“I think the biggest thing is he probably won’t go as a quarterback,” he said. “He’s flying under the radar. A lot of people want him as an athlete.
“He could lineup and play running back, receiver, quarterback, defensive back or return kicks.
“I think they want to see how well a season he has at quarterback.”

Peace on Earth, good will to mankind!
The ACC is a fine athletic conference, many fine institutions … for me to poop on!
The DAWG is Dead, long live the “DAWG!” A new “UGA” will soon be crowned. we’ll look for the white smoke at SANFORD (the Vatican of Football).
