One of the state’s top multi-purpose athletes told the AJC that Georgia Tech will make his list of finalists.
Myles Autry is a 5-foot-9, 175-pound senior from Norcross High School who plays both wide receiver and running back.
Autry says he has narrowed down to seven schools: Ohio State, Florida State, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State and Oregon.
His next step will be to trim his list to five colleges. Which schools will make the cut? Autry said Georgia Tech, along with Florida State, Ohio State and Oregon.
Recruiting has slowed down for Autry because many colleges want to evaluate his senior film.
Autry had major knee reconstructive knee surgery last winter. He has been medically cleared to play this year and is expected to be up to full speed within the next month.
Autry is the younger brother of Georgia Tech wide receiver Anthony Autry, and their mother wants the boys to play together in college.
The younger Autry says he will likely make his college decision on February’s signing day.
Autry talks in-depth about recruiting in the above video.
Tailback J.J. Green said he can’t say for sure how many times he has heard “you’re one play away from playing” from Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and running backs coach Bryan McClendon.
Here is a clue that your trip to sunny south Florida may not be a carefree vacation: You’re a football team, and you lose one of your starters during warm-ups.
If nothing else, Georgia has ensured at least one thing about its season. Regardless of where the rest of the schedule takes them, whether its to an SEC championship, a BCS bowl bid or a national title, there will be no claims from outsiders that this team received too many breaks and escaped health issues, no suggestions that the road to success was lined with lollipops and unicorns.
Having been at Georgia four seasons now, soccer coach Steve Holeman doesn’t weird out nearly as much as he once did about playing Ole Miss, where he coached for 15 years.
