DEL.ICIO.USNorth Cobb DE Lott to visit South Carolina, Oklahoma State
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
North Cobb may have had a disappointing ending last season with a loss in the first round of the playoffs, but that hasn’t stopped college recruiters from flocking to the school.
Twelve players signed college scholarships last season, and three more Division I prospects are on the roster this year. Michael Emerson and Rico Mack are battling for the quarterback position, but both are being recruited as receivers. But the big catch at North Cobb is defensive end Derrick Lott.
“He’s a freak,” said North Cobb coach Shane Queen. “He is the total package.”
The 6-foot-4, 265 pounder has sub-4.8 speed in the 40 and already has offers from South Carolina, Southern Cal, Oklahoma State, Louisville and Ole Miss. He will take official visits to South Carolina and Oklahoma State, but is undecided on his other visits. Don’t expect an early commitment.
“I am going to let the process play out,” Lott said. “I will plan out my other visits, but I just want to play well my senior season and get more colleges to offer me so I have plenty of choices.”

Derrick is not going to play in the State Farmers Market Football Stadium! He will be a DAWG! He will know who his coaches will be his 4 years at UGA.

seccoach, comments like yours are why uga fans are the most despised fans in all of college football. This is not a blog to bash other football programs. Recruiting is ultimately about the area high school players. Save it for the other blogs.
