Latest news Georgia is no longer in the running to land a commitment from
Jerrell Harris of Gadsden City (Ala.) High, rated the second-best weakside linebacker in the nation by Scout.com.
“I’m down to eight schools, and I’ve eliminated Georgia,” Harris said Wednesday evening. “It just seemed like the other schools are more interested in me.”
Harris will now choose between Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Southern Cal and Tennessee.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pounder was a guest of LSU during the Tigers’ victory over Florida in Baton Rouge on Saturday.
“The atmosphere was crazy and exciting,” Harris said. “The game went like I thought it would. I figured Florida would come out hard, but LSU would come out strong in the second half.”
