4-star DB talks new offers
Newly minted four-star Griffin (Ga.) defensive back Jordan Colbert has seen interest boom over the last month, collecting offers from the likes of Alabama, Clemson and Auburn, just to name a few.

He said he's been flattered by the exposition in interest.
"Alabama surprised me," he said. "And Clemson surprised me too. They both only came to the school to see me once, but that was enough for them to offer. I like that."
He said the Tide coaches have made it clear he's a player on their priority list.
"That's a big one for me," Colbert said of the Alabama offer. "I don't even know what to say about that one. I'm a big speed guy and they said that's what they need at every position."
Meanwhile, Colbert had been patiently waiting for the Tigers to pull the trigger.
"I was waiting on Auburn because they've always said I've been a top recruit for them," he said. "And it took them a while to offer, but I'm glad to have it now."
Colbert's most recent visit was to Clemson for the Tigers' junior day earlier in the month. He came away impressed with the program both on and off the field.
"It was very nice," he said. "I like the academics part, too. Coach (Dabo) Swinney talked about all the stuff they're adding to the facility. He said it's going to be a good surprise for the new recruits, so I'm excited to get back and see how it goes."
The next visit on his list is a trip to Georgia this week. The Bulldogs already have one 2015 commit from Griffin in Rivals250 wide receiver Christian Owens.
"I was supposed to go to Georgia on Saturday but I had a basketball game," Colbert said. "Me and Christian Owens are supposed to go down there sometime soon and bring our other teammates with us."
