Tucker defensive end Deion Roberson, one of the state’s most intriguing prospects, said he is considering attending Georgia’s football camp on Friday.

The 6-foot-3, 265-pounder already has a dozen offers, including N.C. State, Michigan State, Maryland and West Virginia. Roberson said he has not been offered by Georgia, but was told by his high school coaches that the Bulldogs are very interested, pending further evaluation. How does he feel about the situation?

“I’m fine with everything with Georgia,” Roberson said. “I understand it’s all a process, and Georgia wants to see and know more about me.”

Roberson said his next offer may be from Tennessee, where he said he plans to take an unofficial visit on Saturday: “Tennessee has really been coming on strong. I feel like when they see me in person, there’s a good chance they may offer.”

Would Roberson commit if Tennessee offered? “Well, it would make me feel great if they offered. But I’m not ready to make any college decisions just yet. I need time to sit down with my family and take close looks at all the schools. When I make a decision, I want it to be the right decision.”

Roberson is being recruited primarily at defensive end by the colleges, but he said he is also getting looks at defensive tackle and tight end. Roberson has been overshadowed by his teammate, Drayton Calhoun (committed to LSU), but appears to be catching the attention of more colleges as the summer progresses.

Tucker defensive lineman Deion Roberson said he will make official visits to the following five schools: Tennessee, Florida State, Michigan State, West Virginia and Maryland.

The 6-foot-3, 270-pound Roberson does not have scholarship offers from Tennessee and Florida State, but he said both of those schools have told him that he is a scholarship candidate and that he most likely will get an offer. Roberson said he had not set up dates for his visits, but will schedule next month.

Tucker always produces a lot of D1 talent. A few off the top of my head...Thomas Brown and Asher Allen.

“It’s a happy ending for Deion, and we’re excited for him,” Tucker coach Franklin Stephens said. “There are certain schools that offered him last year in the early spring, and they stuck by him despite his injury. I think N.C. State got an outstanding player, a guy who would’ve been much higher in the recruiting rankings if not for the injury. He is so big and athletic, guys like him are hard to find.”

It's just so hard to evaluate a guy when he has an injury that keeps him from the field his senior season. I know we offered Jeffery and Devon Kennard has all kinds of offers, but this kid wasn't highly rated to begin with and it's just such a huge risk because you never know if these guys will ever play the same. Wether it be physically or mentally they usually are hindered after a big injury.
