Carver DB pencils in visit to Georgia

Georgia coach Mark Richt and his staff hope to welcome Carver’s Darren Myles to Athens two days before the talented safety is scheduled to visit LSU.
“Darren will be going to LSU on the 20th of July and will hang out there a couple of days,” Myles’ father and Carver coach, Darren Myles Sr. said.
“We may pass through and stop at Alabama. And we’re going to try to go back over to Georgia on the 18th.”
The 6-foot-1, 175 pound Myles, who was recently named as the 74th-best player in the class of 2009 by Rivals.com, holds scholarship offers from programs such as Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Purdue, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia.
But Myles isn’t prepared to declare a frontrunner or top 10 just yet.
“In his mind he may have a [favorite], but he has a couple of other schools he wants to visit,” Myles Sr. said. “For instance, he wants to get up north to Purdue and Notre Dame before school starts back on Aug. 11.”
Myles, who scored a 1,340 on the SAT and 19 on the ACT, has a 2.9 core GPA. He said he’s beginning to enjoy being in the national recruiting spotlight.
“I’m having fun,” he said. “At first I felt some pressure. But I’m learning to enjoy it.”
