DADE CITY, Fla. -- Pasco High School defensive tackle Joey Ivie has seen his stock soar over the last few months. The 6-foot-4, 271-pound athlete now has over 20 scholarship offers, including Florida, Florida State, Miami, Texas Tech, Rutgers and many other schools.
In addition, Ivie says there are two SEC schools that are close extending offers to him.
"Bama and Georgia are recruiting me right now, but neither have offered," Ivie said. "The Georgia coach said they have a recruiting meeting and he would bring my name up. He told me to call him this weekend and they will let me know. I honestly don't know a whole lot about Georgia other than I like their team colors red and black."
