With the high school football season finished, star players from around Macon and surrounding counties began choosing where they’ll play college football last Wednesday for Early Signing Day.
Nearly every big high school from Middle Georgia had a few players commit, with some choosing local schools. Here’s a look at the best recruits from the region and where they’ll play college ball:
