DEL.ICIO.USKolton Houston, son of former UGA player, gets Clemson offer
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Clemson made an early offer to Buford defensive tackle Kolton Houston.
The 6-foot-5, 265-pound Houston attended Georgia Tech’s junior day and was offered by the Jackets. He also lists offers from Maryland, Stanford, Vanderbilt and South Carolina. He is also under consideration by UGA.
““[UGA assistant] Stacy Searles really likes him, and he is definitely on their radar,” Buford coach Jess Simpson said earlier.
His father, Shane Houston, played two years for the Bulldogs in the late 80’s.
Simpson said Houston has the frame and athleticism to play on either side of the ball, but Houston said he wants to be on the offensive line.

Go get Him! He’s Family! Seriously, has anyone seen this guy play. 6’5” is a good size frame that our O-Line could use.

Next Headline from AJC: Tech (Clemson, Tenn, whoever else) offers son of guy who drove by UGA Campus!!! Don’t really recall Shane Houston as I figure most UGA fans would reply as well. When Herschel’s child is offered by Tech then you will have my attention. I guess it does make for a sensationalized headline. Better luck next time AJC.
