The Buford Wolves held one of the state’s largest National Signing Day ceremonies back in February, with several players committing to BCS conference schools. At the time Ryan Dillard signed a financial aid grant with Yale to play in the Ivy League. However, the Gwinnett Daily Post recently reported that the the defensive back would instead enroll at USC as a preferred walk-on this May. Dillard joins Vadal Alexander, Kurt Freitag, Dillon Lee, C.J. Moore, Reid Ferguson and Paris Head as 2012 seniors headed to major college programs.
Late last week, Walton senior offensive lineman/tight end Grant Radakovich announced that he would not be attending Mars Hill and instead play football for Mercer. Walton head coach Rocky Hidalgo said of Radakovich, “I think Grant will be a great player wherever he ends up. He is athletic enough to make a great impact as a tight end. He runs very well and has great hands.” Hidalgo also believes Radakovich projects as an offensive lineman at the next level. “He has a great frame and is physical and tough enough to play anywhere on the offensive line.”
Archer High School made the playoffs for the first time in the program’s history last year, and one of the key pieces to that team, DeSean Harris, committed to Reinhardt College late last week. The defensive tackle will join teammate Kieran Williams at Reinhardt next year. Meanwhile, Archer is loaded with talent that should have the state’s eyes next February with Antonio Riles and Trevellous Cheek entering their senior seasons.
Harris County has churned out some defensive line prospects the last few years including LaMichael Fanning to Alabama and Jordan Jenkins to the University of Georgia. Jay Ellison is expected to be another in the long line of studs next season. Zach Rovig played behind Jenkins last year at the linebacker spot and excelled to the point that Shorter University offered a scholarship that the fullback/linebacker quickly accepted last week.
