Dwayne Allen, a 6-foot-4, 242-pound tight end for Terry Sanford High in Fayetteville, N.C., has reaffirmed his plans to play college football at Georgia.
Allen, one of the Bulldog’s first commitments in the class of 2008, appeared to back off on Georgia during the summer.
But he made his future intentions very clear Tuesday night.
“I am committed to Georgia,” Allen said.
Georgia coach
Mark Richt and his staff played an integral role in Allen’s decision to play for the Bulldogs.
“The stability of the coaching staff at Georgia is one of the most important things I look for,” he said. “The relationship between me and my position coach is important.
And I feel I have a great relationship with [Georgia tight ends] coach
Dave Johnson.”
Allen admitted that he still plans to visit other schools this fall.
He attended South Carolina’s victory over Mississippi State on Saturday. Allen is scheduled to be at Death Valley in Clemson this weekend when the Tigers host Virginia Tech.
“It was my first time down to Columbia,” Allen said. “It was a good visit. I went with some friends and had a good time.
“I was personally introduced to [South Carolina coach]
Steve Spurrier and some of the players.”
