Junior cornerback Garry Peters of Heritage High in Conyers got an offer this morning by phone from Maryland, according to Heritage defensive coordinator Andy Szatkowski.

It’s Peters’ second offer. He got one from South Carolina during the season. And while Szatkowski says Peters doesn’t hasn’t named a list of favorites, he does like Florida.

“He visited Florida this year for the Miami game, and he was blown away and has never stopped talking about how he wants to go there,” Szatkowski said.

Peters attended games at UGA, Florida, South Carolina and Alabama this past season.

Szatkowski said he expects several more offers after sending tapes. Peters is 6-foot-1, 185 pounds.

”When people look at him as a corner they are impressed because you don’t find corners that are as big as him very often,” Szatkowski said.

“He is also extremely strong. He squats around 365 and power cleans 265, and for a cornerback those are good numbers. He also has an uncanny ability to diagnose plays very quickly. When you have that kind of size and speed (4.4 40) you are going to get noticed.”
