Georgia Tech’s 2010 targets shine at all-star combine
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
A pair of Georgia Tech junior prospects, Jefferson County cornerback Barry Bostic and M.L. King running back Mack Brown, turned in impressive workouts over the weekend.
Bostic was named to the all-combine team at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio.
“This means a lot,” Bostic said. “It means I’m headed to where I want to be. But I’ve still got a lot of work to do.”
Brown posted one of the fastest times in the 40-yard dash at the Under Armour All-American combine.
“It’s going great,” Brown said Sunday afternoon from Orlando. “I ran a 4.38 in the 40.”
Both players have been invited to junior day at Georgia Tech on Jan. 31.

Aaron Murray, UGA’s top recruit, will arrive in Athens on Sunday

Quarterback Aaron Murray, UGA’s most celebrated recruit for its 2009 football recruiting class, will arrive in Athens on Sunday.
“I can’t believe everything is happening so quickly, time is flying by,” Murray said. “I can’t wait to get to Georgia and begin college. I’ve been waiting a long time for this moment.”
Murray participated in Saturday’s U.S. Army All-America Bowl in San Antonio.
Sunday schedule’s for Murray looks like this: Fly out of Texas to Atlanta, where he will meet his parents and two siblings. The family will then make the one-hour drive to Athens to move Aaron into his dorm. Murray said his roommates will likely be two other recruits who decided to enroll early at UGA, Buford lineman Dallas Lee and Oconee County quarterback Zach Mettenberger.
On Monday, Murray will meet with UGA’s academic advisors to pick classes. On Thursday, Murray will officially begin his first day of college.
Murray is one of the nation’s top college prospects, committing to Georgia over 53 scholarship offers. However, he has already approached near-legendary status in the Bulldog Nation for recovering from a broken leg in two months to lead his team to Florida’s Class AAAA state championship. Murray played for Tampa’s Plant High.
How is the leg? Murray said he is at about “90 percent,” and hopes to be fully recovered by next month. He said he intends to participate in all of UGA’s spring practices.
“My leg was fine in the [Army game]. But I’m still not able to run around and move the pocket like I was before [the injury]. It’s going to take some time. I have to learn to trust my leg. That’s the final 10 percent, learning to trust my leg again. It will happen in time. I just have to be patient.”
