Lassiter’s Charlie Hegedus revealed on his twitter account late Monday night that Oklahoma State has offered a scholarship less than 30 hours before National Signing Day. Hegedus has pledged to NC State, along with several other players from the state of Georgia including Lassiter teammate Niles Clark. Oklahoma State has gotten into the Georgia act recently with offers to Juwan Dickey of Lassiter and Parker McLeod of Walton, both Class of 2013 prospects.
The Vanderbilt Commodores lost a Georgia product over the weekend after a pledge switched his commitment to an SEC Rival. James Franklin lost Score Final 50 No. 50 Chris Moody, the athlete from Henry County, to South Carolina after he visited Columbia over the weekend. Moody, who made the Score 44 this past season as a quarterback, will likely suit up in the defensive secondary at the next level. Franklin could be in danger of losing Score Final 50 No. 25 Josh Dawson, a defensive end from Tucker, as the Georgia Bulldogs have been charging hard, even sending a pair of assistant coaches to visit with the prospect over the weekend.
It has been quite a seven-week stretch for Grayson senior Nick Schuessler. First, he caps off an undefeated senior season by throwing for a pair of scores in the Class AAAAA championship victory over Walton. Next, he finally gets his first offer from any FBS school when Middle Tennessee State comes forward with a scholarship. He initially pledges to Colorado State with a high school teammate before finally deciding to commit to Mississippi State after Dan Mullen comes through with a late scholarship offer. Now the 6-foot-3 signal caller will head to the SEC West to compete for the same quarterback tutor that helped to put Tim Tebow into the NFL playoffs.
The North Gwinnett Bulldogs defensive line will send a host of prospects to the next level. One player, however, has switched his pledge as defensive end Justin Alabi de-committed from UTC and will instead head to the Air Force Academy. Alabi was joined on the defensive line by Jordan Washington, who is headed to Mississippi State. Carl Rider, a North Gwinnett linebacker is headed to Furman, where he will join teammate, wide receiver Chad Scott. Joe Jones (UMass) and Scotty Hosch (Harvard) have also committed to play at the next level from Bob Sphire’s program.
