Orlando Brown Jr., son of the late NFL standout by the same name, listed his top seven schools on Twitter on Monday night.
The 6-foot-7, 345-pounder is a rising senior from Peachtree Ridge High School and a candidate to be the state’s No. 1 prospect on the offensive line. Brown says he has 42 early football scholarship offers.
Here’s Brown’s list of seven with a few selected comments (he praised each school’s offensive line coach):
As far as schools that didn’t make Brown’s list, some were surprised that UGA was not included. It’s one of the state’s weakest classes for offensive linemen in years, and Brown is the only one from Georgia that the Bulldogs have offered a football scholarship so far for 2014.
What about UGA? “Yes, they’re not among the seven. But that’s not to say I have taken my eyes off them, or haven’t given them a chance. I just feel like these are the top schools that I guess fit me best and are my favorites. That’s what I feel.”
Brown, who has visited UGA once (for last season’s Vanderbilt game), has been to Alabama and South Carolina for Junior Days. He plans to check out Arkansas, Oklahoma and Alabama again in the next future.
He will “most likely” wait until after his senior season to make his college decision, and hasn’t ruled out the possibility of changing his list of favorites.
“I just felt like it was time (to narrow it down), going into spring practice,” Brown said. “That’s not to say the list won’t change, depending on if a couple of colleges come in for visits (to spring practice).”
