Interesting video.

He said he knows some guys that go here and some commits and sites Langston Hughes HS (D'Andre Walker's HS). Silent?

Wouldn't that be nice? I'd love to get Walker.

Appears to be another wise young man with a very good head on his shoulders. You can tell his parents raised him right just by listening to what he says.

It's decried as racist, but this young man is well spoken...sounds better than Tom Brady post flop. :thud:

Per VQ, Micah rushed 7 times for 63 yards. On defense, he helped hold the opposing team to 63 yards of total offense. GAC won easily, 38-0.

 

[BurninOrange]

Interesting read. He defintely has some famous non football lineage to him

Excelling only option for Tennessee Vols commit Micah Abernathy

@Mansell247: No questions on toughness of Abernathy and Slayton. Both playing with injuries, Abernathy n lot of pain will not leave field.

He excels at running the ball. I would bet he gets looks at kick/punt returner once on campus.

Having his brother there to teach him the ropes would be a unique advantage, I think. Worth a look for sure.

I know we tend to say this about all Vol recruits but I'm surprised Rivals only has Micah as 3 star. Looking forward to seeing him play in the Under Armour All American game.

Official set for Jan 23

UA association. He's a lot higher on ESPN because of it. If he was Army he'd be a 4*.

You can also watch him play in the Georgia State Championship game. They stream all of those games live.

This guy seems pretty explosive with the ball in his hands. Any chance he gets in the mix at RB?

Doubtful, DB all the way.

 

[DocVOLiday]

His brother will be the only RB in the family at UT (unless there are more siblings)

Yeah, Running Back Interceptions

Good one! :rock:

The Gwinnett Post named Micah Abernathy their Offensive Player of the Year

The Gwinnett Post named Micah Abernathy their Offensive Player of the Year

Thanks, here's the direct link:

"A lot of people don’t know he had to battle a shoulder injury the last six weeks,” GAC coach Tim Hardy said. "But he played through it. … We rode him hard down the stretch. Whether it was carrying the ball, (acting as) a wildcat (formation) quarterback or playing defense, he really came on strong during the playoffs.

"He’s a dynamic player, and he makes things happen."

Abernathy certainly made things happen the entire season, leading all Gwinnett County rushers with 1,533 yards and 20 touchdowns on just 150 carries, an astounding average of 10.2 yards per carry, over 13 games.

But it was during the playoff drive that he was at his best, running for 833 of his yards and 13 of his TDs during the five-game postseason stretch.

Gut feeling, this kid is going to be very good.

Gut feeling, this kid is going to be very good.

He has the pedigree to be one who stands out for sure. I hope he's a vocal leader too, we need more of that.
