DEL.ICIO.USHenry County QB Drew Little plays waiting game

Henry County quarterback Drew Little is still waiting on his first offer.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound senior attended seven college camps this summer and played in two national passing league tournaments. Little said he got positive feedback from scouts after each appearance, yet he remains without an offer.
“I’m being patient about the situation; everything will work out,” Little said. “Colleges take their time with quarterbacks. Many colleges will only sign one quarterback each year, and some might even skip a year. They really have to find someone who they feel will be a perfect fit for their [offense]. They seem to do a lot more evaluating for a quarterback than they do for many other positions.”
Little, a drop-back passer, said he went to camps at Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Jacksonville State and Georgia Southern. His teammate at Henry County, wide receiver Jamal Patterson, has nearly 50 scholarship offers.
“Drew doesn’t have anything right now, but he’s going to get something,” Henry County coach Mike Rozier said. “He’s a pure drop-back passer, [so] it’s just going to have to be the right system for him.”
Little said at least a dozen schools have told him that he is a scholarship candidate and that they will be observing his senior season. Little said he is doing his best to not think about recruiting.
“I’m playing football for Henry County,” he said. “I care about my high school season more than anything else right now.”

He will get his offers along with many other players at Henry Co. Just because you transferred, don’t think that anybody cares about Eagles Landing… You will be lucky if you win a game this year, GT!

He will get offers if he can get his weight down. Trim down to about 220lbs, and watch the offers roll in.

Then Warhawk why wouldnt Rozier play EAGLES this year because he knows they would kick them up and down the field you know what eagles wouldnt care about is Jamals 50? offers he could take and shove up his butt. and stop saying keith wright and Quan Jones are D-1 athletes they simply cant go to a D-1 school maybe they could try out for the Henry Horsemen though. I do Hope Drew gets an offer though. GO EAGLES

First of all, why would Henry play Union Grove (5A) and not Eagles (3A)? Now come on… Do you really think they’re scared of Eagles? And doesn’t every team hope to win all of their games, whether its 2A, 3A, or 5A… Who cares? You still have to line up and play ball. Also, his coach can’t throw for 3200 yds and 41 TD’s for him now can he?

You people are so childish!!! I dont understad why you cant encourage, and be happy for todays athelets, why would you wish bad on anyone? Grow up and have some class. Talking about kids playing on the field, and representing there school is a low blow. Adults,kids,coaches need to think before they speak. Sincerely
