Per Atlanta paper this morning, he is looking at GA, FSU, and Oregon.

I'm guessing they both end up at Georgia, and possibly the brother as a walk-on. If they aren't going to same place, then FSU would be the other possibility.

"Autry was awesome his junior year, sort like an x-factor WR/RB type, like a poor man's De'Anthony Thomas. Then he tore his ACL, played through the injury in the game he hurt it and played the following week in the state championship game. While he scored some major toughness points, he really messed up his career. He came back for the first game of his senior season and wasn't ready, played terrible and missed more time while trying to rehab the knee. By the time he became relatively healthy by the end of the year, no major school was willing to take him outside of Georgia Tech. He did show signs of being his old self much later in the season and generally for a guy like him it takes two years to be back to full speed after that type of injury.

He was already having problems with grades and didn't enroll in time and when his brother got the boot by the Jackets he wanted out as well. Not sure what his options are but I doubt they will be very favorable."

Most likely Juco route and we will see his thread pop up in two years

Might be the best option for him. If he has grade problems, then it might be his only option. It might be best for him so that he can be 100% on that knee, and then get picked up by a legit D1 school. I saw him live in the state championship game and thought he looked pretty good. Good luck to the young man.

Watched the kid live multiple times his junior year and at times he was better than kamara.

I heard that same opinion a few times. I saw him a few times his junior year as well, and thought he was pretty electric with the ball.

Definitely kamara is a better running back but Autry was an electric athlete. Also saw him post injury and he didn't look half as good felt bad for him.

I hope he did not do a lot more damage to his knee by trying to play on it during the state championship game as a junior, as Woody Wommack suggested. Hopefully he will heal 100% and achieve his full potential.

That's at the HS level. I was never in love with his slight frame. He was a Slot man/return man at best on a collegiate level.

This. He was too small before imo. Tearing his acl took a step, you can't be small in major D1 unless you have ridiculous speed and/or quickness and he just doesn't have that post ACL tear. again, imo.

also, whoever let him keep playing through that injury should be fired, because he put the kid's future at risk. High school football is great and all, but it should always be about the kids' futures. getting as many into college as possible.

I'm sure if MzTerry wanted to chime in here, then she could give more info. However, I will tell you what little I know about the head coach at Norcross, and this is just second hand info that I have gathered in observance and in talking to MzT. The head coach is Keith Maloof. He runs a very impressive program at Norcross with multiple state championships. That program is a factory for sending prospects to D1 schools. He seems to be very well respected, and his kids play hard for him. He seems to have a great deal of care for his players and their futures. Also, they could have won that state championship without Autry, that is how loaded they were. IMO, they consulted a doctor or maybe multiple doctors and were told he couldn't do anymore damage to it by playing on it, so that's what he chose to do. I just don't think he was 100% for most of the year last year, and was having to overcome that major mental barrier, which made him look worse. All jmo.

I will add one more thing...I don't think his head coach, the rest of the coaching staff, and especially his family and those who are close to him would have let him play on it, if it would have caused more damage. They knew he was a D1 prospect, and wouldn't have jeopardized his future.

You trust that staff quite a bit to have no ties to it. There are a lot of coaches that are out for rings.....

I agree with most on here - whenever there is an ACL for a skill position player it is best to wait two years before playing on the collegiate level. The exceptions are rare like AD in the NFL, but he is a freak athlete who was rehabbing 24/7, more mature, and had no other distractions like school work to deal with.

Good luck to him wherever he ends up. Juco would be best to re-establish value.

This might be very true. As I said, BB, it is just my opinion with no real info to add to it. Maybe MzT will add a perspective that is first hand info, if she chooses. I do know that she loves Coach Maloof, and I know her enough to say, that she wouldn't love a coach who risked further injury to his players by allowing them to continue playing with a serious injury that could cause more damage. Once again, JMHO.

Don't want to speak for the OP but I thought he meant by playing on it he delayed his surgery thus felayed his recovery, not that he riskef hurting it further.
