DEL.ICIO.USTucker DE Roberson eyes UGA
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Tucker defensive end Deion Roberson, one of the state’s most intriguing prospects, said he is considering attending Georgia’s football camp on Friday.
The 6-foot-3, 265-pounder already has a dozen offers, including N.C. State, Michigan State, Maryland and West Virginia. Roberson said he has not been offered by Georgia, but was told by his high school coaches that the Bulldogs are very interested, pending further evaluation. How does he feel about the situation?
“I’m fine with everything with Georgia,” Roberson said. “I understand it’s all a process, and Georgia wants to see and know more about me.”
Roberson said his next offer may be from Tennessee, where he said he plans to take an unofficial visit on Saturday: “Tennessee has really been coming on strong. I feel like when they see me in person, there’s a good chance they may offer.”
Would Roberson commit if Tennessee offered? “Well, it would make me feel great if they offered. But I’m not ready to make any college decisions just yet. I need time to sit down with my family and take close looks at all the schools. When I make a decision, I want it to be the right decision.”
Roberson is being recruited primarily at defensive end by the colleges, but he said he is also getting looks at defensive tackle and tight end. Roberson has been overshadowed by his teammate, Drayton Calhoun (committed to LSU), but appears to be catching the attention of more colleges as the summer progresses.

Come on Deion, don’t wait around too long to commit to UGA. Schollies are limited for 09’ so don’t miss the boat. UGA is where it’s at for years to come and you’ll regret it if you don’t commit the second they offer. GO DAWGS!!!

Deion, I hope UGA will make that offer to you. It is always a great situation when a great player like yourself plays in his home state and in front of all his friends and family. Good luck.
