Which schools are lining up for Lassiter OL Wentz?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Arkansas, California, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, North Carolina and Oregon are showing the most interest in Lassiter offensive lineman Camden Wentz, who withdrew his commitment from Stanford three weeks ago due to a potential admissions issue.
A frequent spectator at Georgia Tech games this fall, the 6-foot-3, 275-pound Wentz finds it ironic that a pair of Pac 10 programs are suddenly recruiting him.
“I de-commit to Stanford and their archrival [California] starts trying to get in touch with me,” said Wentz, whose only current offer is from Stanford. “But if a school comes and calls, I’ll go and visit.”
As for Georgia Tech, he’s still eager to see if the Jackets will offer.
“It’s kind of been a slow process with them, but we’ll see,” Wentz said. “But I’m as wide open as can be. Football is football, wherever it is.
“It could be as close as Georgia Tech or as far away as Hawaii. It really depends on the school.”

Georgia Tech recruiting Westside-Macon linebacker Burnett
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Georgia Tech is interested in Westside-Macon linebacker Julian Burnett, who has attended two of the Jackets’ home games this season. A scholarship offer from Tech could be forthcoming for the 5-foot-10, 220-pound Burnett.
“It would be a big deal,” said Burnett, who has offers from N.C. State, Ole Miss, South Carolina UAB and Wake Forest. “[Tech coaches] said I’m the first in line to get the next offer.”
Even if the Jackets pull the trigger with Burnett, don’t expect a quick decision.
“I want to be able to take my visits and analyze these schools and see where I fit in,” he said.
Westside-Macon coach Robert Davis seems puzzled over why the hard-hitting Burnett hasn’t received more offers, including one from Georgia.
“I don’t understand it,” Davis said. “The guy can play running back or linebacker.”
“I’m just glad we got him, that’s all I can say.”

Mt. Zion-Jonesboro wide receiver Drexel Copeland said if a North Carolina player committed somewhere else other than Georgia Tech then he would be next in line to get the offer.
But Jheranie Boyd fron Gastonia, N.C., the country’s No. 4 wide receiver, according to Rivals.com, committed to UNC on Nov. 6.
Tech has yet offered Copeland and there have been reports Tech assistant coach Buzz Preston is looking elsewhere.
Copeland, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior currently has been in contact with Alabama A&M, Tusculum College and Furman.
