Georgia makes token contact with LSU recruit
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Tucker running back/cornerback Drayton Calhoun is having no second thoughts about his February commitment to LSU.
“I’m graduating early from high school and will be enrolling at LSU in January,” Calhoun confirmed earlier today.
The 6-foot, 175-pound Calhoun chose LSU over scholarship offers from programs such as Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.
“They’ve all kind of backed off recruiting me, but schools like Georgia still write me now and then and say ‘good luck’ or ‘come and visit us,’” Calhoun said.
Calhoun, who was recruited by the Tigers as an athlete, will likely see the Dogs in action on Oct. 25 when LSU hosts Georgia.
“I’m going to try to go to the Georgia game at LSU,” said Calhoun, whose most recent visit to Baton Rouge was to attend the Tigers’ spring game in April.
Calhoun, who averaged 8.8 yards per carry last season, has no plans to visit any school other than LSU this fall.
“I talk to the coaches at LSU every week,” he said. “I really like the coaching staff there. Coach [Les] Miles is a caring, family guy.”
