RECRUITING BUZZ: Ivy League becoming a popular destination

Flowery Branch’s last four quarterbacks have all received scholarships, but the recruiting process for the latest QB Kanler Coker took a bit of a turn last week. Coker switched his commitment from East Carolina to UNC after meeting with new Tar Heel head coach Larry Fedora. The 6-foot-4 QB passed for over 2,800 yards last year with 31 touchdowns in his lone season at Flowery Branch. Lee Shaw’s previous three quarterbacks were Jaybo Shaw (Georgia Tech, transferred to Georgia Southern), Connor Shaw (South Carolina) and Austin Brown (UAB).

Several Georgia prospects realize that football won’t last forever and have committed to use football to earn an Ivy League degree that will help them in life. North Gwinnett quarterback Scotty Hosch and Collins Hill defensive lineman Sam Batiste will matriculate to Harvard while GAC teammates Jonathan Ford and Lavondre Nelson will head play in the Ivy League as well. Ford will suit up at linebacker for Cornell while Nelson will play running back at Princeton. Score Final 50 member Dalvin Tomlinson was considering Harvard for a while but now it appears as though the Henry County defensive will decide between Georgia Tech, Georgia and Alabama, though he recently cancelled an official visit to UGA.

The Yellow Jackets raised a few eyebrows recently by revoking the scholarship offer of its first commitment for the current class, Lanier County defensive end Junior Gnonkonde, due to a question over test scores. Gnonkonde is reportedly interested in Central Florida, Louisiana Tech and possibly North Carolina.

Score Final 50 Chris Moody of Henry County finally decided upon his future, selecting Vanderbilt over South Carolina over the weekend. According to ESPN.com, Moody pledged after taking an official visit over the weekend.
