Northview defensive lineman Cordian Hagans may be the state’s most heavily recruited player without a scholarship offer from Georgia or Georgia Tech.
The 6-foot-5, 285-pounder has 18 offers and counting, including ones from LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Clemson and Virginia Tech. While Hagans said he is “thrilled” with his recruiting situation, he admits the absence of in-state offers is a constant topic of conversation.
“There are a lot of Georgia and Georgia Tech fans around here [Alpharetta], especially Georgia,” Hagans said. “At least once or twice every day, someone asks me, ‘How can you have offers from all those big-time schools and not have one from Georgia or Georgia Tech?’
“It puts me in kind of an awkward situation because I don’t really know how to answer that question, other than to say, ‘You’ll have to ask them because I don’t know.’ “
Hagans said his only contact with Georgia Tech has been recruiting letters.
Meanwhile, Hagans said he has established a good relationship with Georgia assistant Stacey Searels, and two communicate two to three times a week via text message.
“[Searels] keeps saying they like me a lot, and they will be following me closely,” Hagans said. “I don’t know how to take that. I’m just guessing they probably have some other defensive linemen they like better than me, but I don’t know for sure.”
Hagans admits he grew a fan of the Bulldogs and often dreamed about playing in the red and black. Does it hurt his feelings his childhood favorite has not offered?
“Yes, of course, I would like to be offered by Georgia, it’s a great school,” Hagans said. “But I don’t think I can complain about anything when I have so many great options.
“So I’m not stressing out about Georgia or Georgia Tech. If it happens, it happens. If not, I’m just fine.”
The other offers to Hagans are from Arizona State, North Carolina, N.C. State, Boston College, Louisville, Mississippi State, Maryland, Ole Miss, Rutgers, Central Florida, Michigan State and Indiana. He also has about 15 other schools that have told him he is a scholarship candidate.
Hagans, who claims to have no early leader, has been on an unofficial visit to Auburn, and plans trips to Clemson and LSU within the next three weeks.

By MICHAEL CARVELL
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 07/22/07 It's all moving so fast for Northview defensive lineman Cordian Hagans, who walked onto a football field last season at the request of a friend and instantly became one of the top recruits in the South.
After one season of football, the 6-foot-5, 290-pound Hagans has 18 offers and counting from the top programs in the country, including LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, Boston College, North Carolina and Virginia Tech. Hagans said he is thrilled with his situation, but a bit confused why two state schools aren't in the mix.
