DEL.ICIO.USGeorgia Tech, other schools, flocking to Brooks County

Brooks County was one of the places to be for recruiters in 1994 when Marcus Stroud led the Trojans to a state championship before heading to the University of Georgia and the NFL.
Many college coaches are now finding themselves back in Quitman, and it is not to share old Stroud stories. Players such as junior running back Martez Christopher (5-foot-9, 185 pounds) and junior tackle Lawrence Virgil (6-5, 270) are the reasons why.
“[Christopher] is a stick of dynamite. He benches 345 pounds and power cleans 315. He is a tough kid and is fast. Georgia Tech is really interested in him,” said Brooks coach Maurice Freeman. “Virgil moves well for a big guy, and schools like Clemson are really looking at him now.”
Meanwhile, senior fullback Arlestor McKinnon (6-1, 225) is being recruited by Georgia Southern. But based on his strong start at defensive end, (nine sacks) McKinnon could work himself into major-college offers, according to Freeman.
