to making a decision on where he'll play college football. But before he
announces that decision this week, he made a trip that the Georgia staff hopes
will influence his decision.
This weekend, the four-star prospect made his way to Athens for his official
visit to the Bulldogs.
"I had a great, I always do," Jackson
decision isn't going to be easy by any means. Coach [Jeremy] Pruitt was great, as usual,
and they showed me a lot of great things about the university and the
opportunity I would have there."
Jackson is set announce his decision on Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. CST. Along
likely destinations, although many think Jackson picks between the Dawgs and Tigers.
"I really don't have my mind made up, yet, but I feel like I will by then,"
Jackson
told the Times-Picayune. "I plan on shutting everything down until then;
stay out of the media, shut down my Twitter, talk with my family and things like
that. I need some me-time right now because this is the biggest decision I've
been faced with in my life. This has been a long road. It's crazy that it's
almost over. I thank everyone that's been there for me and soon everyone will
know where I'm going to school, but I have to figure that out first."
Apparently Jackson's sister, Aareion Jackson, had a great time on her visit as
well. She tweeted this:
Literally enjoyed every second in Athens, I don't wanna leave!😭🐶❤️- Aareion Jackson✨ (@AareionFolarin_) January 18, 2015
Donte Jackson also shared with the Times-Picayune that he still intends
to officially visit LSU on Friday, Jan. 23, regardless of which school he picks
on Wednesday.
