Gainesville quarterback Deshaun Watson was named one of the top players in the country for the class of 2014 on Monday by Rivals.com.
Gainesville High junior quarterback Deshaun Watson is well aware of the battles that go on for the top national prospects every season up until National Signing Day, which this year took place on Wednesday. Watson, the 2012 Associated Press Georgia Player of the Year, makes no promises that his will not go down to the wire either, even though he is currently verbally committed to Clemson University.
National signing day for high school athletes is usually the marker for the end of one chapter in life and the launching point for the next four years. For three of Johnson High's football players, it just signified the next step in a close-knit friendship that dates back six years.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Upon taking the head football coaching position at Flowery Branch last year, Chris Griffin faced a daunting task. Not only would he be expected to expand on the school's burgeoning tradition on the gridiron, he'd also be expected to continue a legacy of cultivating collegiate talent.
Around the country on Wednesday, high school football players were finally able to put pen to paper and make their college decisions official by signing letters of intent.
Jefferson quarterback Bryant Shirreffs was named a MaxPreps.com Second Team Small School All-American, announced earlier this month.
Stuart Cunningham stepped down as Habersham Central football coach on Wednesday, according to the school's athletic director Amy Hood. The four-year Raiders coach met with players and staff members the same day to inform them of his decision.
Four years ago, he was T. McFerrin's top choice to coach the offensive line. When the Dragons' legendary coach retired recently, Ben Hall was also his top pick to take over at the helm.
It's getting to the point where Deshaun Watson can hardly go anywhere without being noticed.
Fresh off the Class AA state championship win, Jefferson football coach T. McFerrin has decided to call it a career.
