Tech commit Chaun Gresham checking out other schools
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Apalachee linebacker Chaun Gresham says he remains committed to Georgia Tech, but is “studying other options.”
“I just want to be sure I’m making sure the right decision,” Gresham said. “I’m still committed to Georgia Tech for now … but who knows what the future holds?”
South Carolina is strongly pursuing Gresham, who is rated as the nation’s No. 47 outside linebacker by Rivals. Gresham attended the Gamecocks’ prospect camp last month and had a lengthy conversation with coach Steve Spurrier.
“He was really cool,” Gresham said. “He told me I could have a chance at starting after my red-shirt year, or he told me I could compete as a freshman. He said if freshmen are good enough to play, then they’ll play for him immediately.”
Gresham said he will take official visits to Tech and South Carolina. He also holds offers from Alabama, Clemson, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, among others.

Henry County QB Little looks at Georgia State

Former Georgia Tech offensive coordinator John Bond was recruiting Henry County quarterback Drew Little for the Yellow Jackets. So when Bond joined Bill Curry’s staff down the street at Georgia State, it made sense that Little would be one of the first players Bond contacted.
Little visited the campus earlier this week and met with Curry and Bond.
“I went to Georgia State and looked around at how everything was going,” said Little, who has offers from several SEC and ACC schools. “They told me it’d be a good chance to be the first recruit ever there. They’re definitely on my list. Their name’s getting out there.”

Clemson and Tech eyeing Eastside QB Wray

Eastside’s Justin Wray contemplated pulled the trigger on a commitment to Central Florida earlier this summer.
But the dual-threat quarterback opted to wait on additional scholarship offers.
“Georgia Tech, Indiana, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, Clemson and Presbyterian are real interested,” the 6-foot-1, 201-pound Wray said. “I think they’re just waiting on my senior season and the first couple of games. That will determine if they offer me or not.”
Wray, who has been clocked in the 40 at 4.5 seconds, has been compared by his coach, Rick Hurst, to former Georgia prep stars Fred Gibson and Fabian Walker. Hurst had the opportunity to coach each in years past.
Wray’s first official visit this fall will likely be to Clemson.
“I like that program,” he said. “It seems to be established.”
He is being recruited by Tech, Vanderbilt and Middle Tennessee State as a quarterback. Everyone else has him on the board as an athlete.
Wray and his teammates practiced in pads for the first time this season earlier today during Eastside’s version of midnight madness.
“We were out there at 12 a.m.,” he said. “It was fun to have pads on. It’s a tradition we’ve had for the past four years.
“Hopefully, they’ll keep it going after I graduate.”
