Tech target Peters has three trips lined up
As one of four players Georgia Tech is still recruiting for next month’s signing class,
Jason Peters is in some ways unlike the others.
Like North Clayton High safety
Morgan Burnett and Orlando Edgewater linebacker/safety
Lorenzo Edwards, he has already made his official visit to Tech.
Unlike Edwards, who has made all of his official visits and will announce his college choice Saturday at the U.S. Army All-American game in San Antonio, Peters, a 6-foot-4, 255-pound defensive end from Baton Rouge (La.) Catholic, still has four visits to make. He has planned three, telling the AJC’s Matt Winkeljohn Wednesday afternoon that’s he’s going to Nebraska Jan. 12, Florida on Jan. 20 and LSU on Jan. 27.
Although his name has been linked to Notre Dame, Peters said he doesn’t have an official visit planned to South Bend, and he expects to make his decision soon after visiting LSU. “I’m not sure about Notre Dame,” he said.
He’ll watch the Irish tonight. Peters, who watched on television as Tech lost in the Gator Bowl and Nebraska lost in the Cotton Bowl, said he planned to watch LSU play Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.
Peters wants to major in biology, and has checked to make sure all of his schools have that program. Beyond that, and a quality football program, he said he’ll consider “the people I’ll be around daily, the coaches, students and the city in general.”
Peters, who has given up basketball at Catholic, has an uncle in Gainesville, Fla., where Florida is located.
Edwards is widely believed to have narrowed his choices to Florida, Notre Dame and perhaps Michigan, but has not called Tech coaches to eliminate the Yellow Jackets.
The fourth recruit on Tech’s radar, Oxnard, Calif., running back/linebacker/wide receiver/safety
Malachi Lewis, is scheduled to make an official visit to Tech with his mother on Jan. 19.
Burnett is in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where he’ll play Thursday in the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl sponsored by Rivals.com. He made his official visit to Tech last month, and as of right now does not plan any other official trips.
