Georgia star tripping to the Bayou this weekend

Tucker, Ga. always manages to produce some of the top talent in the Peach State every year and this year is no different. The Tigers biggest prospect is athlete Asher Allen, who has dozens of scholarship offers and will be visiting a pair of SEC powers over the next two weekends.

"This weekend me and Morrice Richardson are heading down to Baton Rouge and will be visiting there," Allen said. "I have been wanting to get down there and check them out ever since they offered so I am excited about it. Next weekend I think we are going to try to head down to Gainesville and check out Florida.

The 5-foot-9, 187-pound Allen runs the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds and has offers from the likes of Georgia, LSU, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Florida, Maryland, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Auburn, Georgia Tech among others.

"Right now I haven't narrowed anything down," Allen said. "I am still trying to get out and check out as many different schools as I can. I want to make good decision and be informed about it so I want to make sure I check out as many places as I can."

As a junior he caught 26 passes for 407 yards and six touchdowns. Defensively he tallied 81 tackles and two interceptions.

"Virginia Tech was the most recent school to offer me and they offered a couple of weeks back," Allen said. "I think I am still on 16 written offers right now, most of the schools I want one from have offered."

Allen is an excellent academic student who carries a 3.85 GPA. He has the versatility to play cornerback, running back or wide receiver on the next level.
