Georgia withdraws offer to recruit

Nico Johnson of Andalusia, Ala., one of the nation’s top linebackers, said he was “disappointed” when he found out that Georgia was no longer offering a scholarship. The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder has 15 scholarship offers and counting, including ones from Alabama, Auburn, Southern Cal, Florida, Florida State, Tennessee and Texas A&M.

“I found out recently that Georgia took everybody they needed at linebacker for this year,” Johnson said.

“It was disappointing because I was really looking closely at Georgia. But everything is ok. I’ve still got a lot of great colleges to pick from.”

Georgia has commitments from 11 rising seniors, including three linebackers: Michael Gilliard of Valdosta, Chase Vasser of Gainesville, and Dexter Moody of Twin City.
