Valdosta OL vows not to switch commitment back from Georgia Tech to Tennessee

Tennessee’s new coach, Lane Kiffin, is trying his best to salvage the Volunteers’ recruiting class for 2009.

However, Kiffin might be wasting his time if he tries to lure back Valdosta offensive lineman Antonio Foster, who switched his commitment from Tennessee to Georgia Tech after the departure of Phil Fulmer.

“I have given up on Tennessee,” Foster told the AJC.

Georgia Tech assistants Brian Jean-Mary and Todd Spencer had an-home visit with Foster on Tuesday evening.

“I met with offensive line coach [Todd] Spencer and linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary,” said Foster, who committed to the Jackets on Nov. 4. “It went well.”
