Perkins, other Georgia Tech commitments looking good

It was a big weekend for Georgia Tech with its  first-ever win over Florida State in Tallahassee and it was a big weekend for future Yellow Jackets as several commitments had standout performances this past Friday night.

Collins Hill running back Charles Perkins kept his stranglehold on the Gwinnett County rushing lead with 130 yards and 3 TDs in a win over Duluth. Perkins, who was pulled from the game midway through the second quarter, has 1,133 yards and 12 TDs in six games this season.

Quarterback/defensive back Synjyn Days continues his good work for Hillgrove High as he rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown on nine carries and was 6-of-17 passing for 107 yards and 2 TDs. Days was at the controls of an offense that rolled up 456 yards.

Jefferson County’s B.J. Bostic is similar to Days in that he’s an athletic prospect that plays quarterback on offense and defensive back on defense. He scored touchdowns rushing, passing and on a kickoff return by halftime of a blowout win over East Laurens.

Ryan Ayers‘ South Paulding team is struggling some this season but he keeps having an impact on games. Two weeks after grabbing a pick-six in a loss to Hillgrove Ayers had a 75-yard interception return for a touchdown in a loss to Hiram.

Loganville tackle Morgan Bailey helped pave the way for tailback Storm Johnson to gain 175 yards and score three touchdowns in a win over Madison County.
