Tennessee already has seven commitments out of Georgia. McCollough knows Tennessee has showcased several players from his home state in its rich history. He also knows the current crop of commits and they make sure to lean on him.
“I know them well," McCollough said. "We have all been playing with or against each other since we were six or seven. They are leaning on me. I know you see it on Twitter. I talk to Warren all the time. I talk to Wayna (Morris) almost everyday. I talk to Ramel (Keaton) almost every day. I talk to Owen about Auburn. I talk to them all. It doesn't really affect me too much because these are my boys and they will support me wherever I go.”
Many have speculated that he would have committed by now, but he doesn't want to jump the gun.
“I want to be sure," McCollough said. "I'm more than likely going to take my visits and then make a decision after those visits sometime around my birthday in October. That's what we are looking at. I'm just trying to be sure. We might have the Florida game circled for an official visit to Tennessee.”
And when he sits down with his family to decide his college choice, he will be looking for the right fit for his criteria.
“Really just the relationships. How comfortable I am with everyone. Early playing time plays a factor. There's a whole bunch of stuff that factors in. That's why I'm really taking it slow. A lot of people want to go ahead and commit. I'm taking it slow.”
