Where was UGA assistant John Lilly during the team’s off day on Wednesday?

He was at Westside-Macon, observing linebacker Julian Burnett, who appears to have rocketed to the top of Georgia’s recruiting board.

“Coach Lilly told my coaches that [UGA’s staff] looked at my film during a recruiting meeting, and they were going to start recruiting me hard,” Burnett said.

“It was great seeing [Lilly] at practice, knowing Georgia was serious about what they said. If Georgia offered me … I would definitely consider going.”

The 5-foot-10, 225-pound Burnett made an unofficial visit for Georgia’s game against Alabama. Two weeks ago, he attended Georgia Tech’s game against Mississippi State.

Burnett has offers from South Carolina, N.C. State, Wake Forest, Purdue, and Mississippi.

Westside-Macon LB wants to stay home | College recruiting | ajc.com

Quote:

Robert Davis has been a head coach for 36 years and is the state's second winningest coach of all time. But what he sees everyday while leading Westside-Macon is something he has not seen in along time. He sees linebacker Julian Burnett.

"He is as good I've had since Ronald Simmons," said Davis, who coached Simmons at Warner Robins in the middle 1970s. Simmons was an All-American at FSU and is in the Florida State Hall of Fame. "[Burnett] is strong; he is fast, and he loves contact. I don't know another way to describe a linebacker."

Burnett is approaching 500 tackles for his career and has three defensive touchdowns this season. He is also academically qualified with a 3.4 grade-point average and a 930 SAT.

"He would love to play for one of the state schools," Davis said. "Georgia is dickering with him right now. Ole Miss has offered, Vanderbilt wants him bad, N.C. State wants him. I just know one thing - somebody is going to get a real football player."
