“Georgia Tech has offered me now,” he said. “They came by the school not too long ago and told me they were offering, so I’ve set up a visit with them on the 30th of January.
“I have three other visits set up in January – UCF on the 9th, Louisville on the 16th and East Carolina on the 23rd.”
Stripling (6-1, 180, 4.4) said the Yellow Jackets are his current leader, followed closely by Louisville.
“It’s one of them,” he said. “They both have a lot of good things I like. They need a running back after next year, so the depth chart looks good. I like their coaches. Both of those programs have done a pretty good job in the last few years. They have good academic programs that I like.
"Georgia Tech is closer to home, so that gives them a little bit of an edge.”
As a senior, Stripling rushed for 2,102 yards and 26 touchdowns.
Academically, he maintains a 2.8 GPA and has scored a 17 on the ACT.
