Will it be Auburn, Clemson or Georgia Blaylock? All will know soon.
Will Dominick Blaylock commit to Auburn, Clemson or Georgia? All will find out in the near future.
The 6-foot, 183 pound junior wide receiver out of Marietta (Ga.) Walton starting picking up offers before he started high school, so he has taken a lot of visits, he has built a lot of relationships and he is close to committing to the Tigers or Bulldogs.
"It will be one of those schools. I know I am going to commit to Auburn, Georgia or Clemson soon," said Blaylock. "I will probably know finalize things in the middle of July, then make it public when I get back on the field in August."
Blaylock suffered an ankle injury this spring while playing baseball for his high school, so he missed spring practice and he is just starting to jog on it again. Despite being out with the injury, the four star has taken numerous visits the last few months and he has visited each of his finalists at least once in that span.
Auburn, Clemson and Georgia have had Blaylock on their campus numerous times, so he knows a lot about each school. He shares his thoughts on the three schools still in the race.
AUBURN: "I like them a lot. It is a good college, I like the coaches and it is a really good environment there. They feel me playing the slot in their offense could be a great fit for me."
CLEMSON: "Clemson has a great coaching staff and they are winning big right now, so you put those things with the atmosphere there and there is a lot to like. I have seen what they have done with their receivers in the past, so I know I could be successful in their offense."
GEORGIA: "I feel I am important to Georgia and to coach [Kirby] Smart, they have made me feel that way, so I like that. I also like how Georgia is close to home and how they would want to use me at slot receiver. When I am there, I like the feel. It has a little bit of a home feel, but all of the schools do really."
Blaylock may be committing roughly a year and a half early, but he feels he has put in his time, done his homework and he is ready to make his decision.
"I just feel I am ready," said Blaylock. "I just think it is time to get it done. I have taken my time, I have thought about it a lot and it is just the time for me. I should have it completely done by the middle of August at the latest, if not sooner than that."
Is there a school that has an edge or does he know late in June which school he will choose in the coming weeks?
"All three schools still have a chance and it is very close, but there is a school that could be standing out a little more," said Blaylock. "My mind is not completely made up yet, but it will be soon."
Relationships are key in Blaylock's decision along with the offense and the environment.
