Safety Kendarian Handy-Holly has 27 college football program offers, according to 247 Sports, but one of his top choices remains Georgia Tech.

In January, the 6-foot-2, 201 pound senior out of Jackson High School received an offer from Georgia Tech, according to his Twitter account.

Although some predicted him to land at Auburn, three hours from his hometown of Jackson, Ala., Georgia Tech — not Auburn — is listed as one of Handy Holly’s top 10 choices that were released on his Twitter account on June 11. Other schools listed are Florida, Louisville, NC State, Vanderbilt, Minnesota, Central Florida, South Florida, Mississippi State and Ole Miss.

On Handy-Holly's Hudl page and in his highlight reels, he is listed as a safety and wide receiver. Handy-Holly's 40 time is 4.45, according to 247 Sports.

Handy-Holly played the first game of his senior season Friday night against Leroy High School from Leroy, Ala. The Jackson Aggies lost their season opener 21-0.
