M.L. King RB Mack Brown gets hefty praise from Florida
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Florida coach Urban Meyer wants very badly to sign M.L. King’s Mack Brown, one of the nation’s top tailbacks.
Brown said he was pleasantly surprised by some of the things Meyer has told him. “Coach Meyer told me I was the No. 1 target at running back. Then he said I was the No. 1 overall athlete on their entire recruiting board. I couldn’t believe it. When he said that, I was like ‘for real?’ He said yes. I told him thanks and that it meant a lot coming from him.”
Brown has nearly 20 scholarship offers, including UGA and Georgia Tech. He said he grew up a fan of Florida and Georgia, but claims no favorites.
“That meant a lot coming from [Meyer]. He’s the coach of the national champions. He also knows about all of those Florida prospects. That’s exciting to hear from him.”
