A 6-foot-1 cornerback, Langley also was busy making his college football plans during the season. After initially saying he would attend the University of South …

Kell High School continues play in the state football playoffs in a home game against Gainesville on Friday. But on Tuesday, one of its star players sorted out his long-term future by changing his mind about where he'll play college football. Defensive back Brendan Langley offered a verbal commitment to the Georgia Bulldogs, choosing one SEC school over another. Langley, who also has contributed to Kell as a running back and wide receiver this season, initially chose South Carolina. But in an interview in Wednesday's edition of The Marietta Daily Journal, Kell coach Derek Cook said Langley had his heart set on Georgia all along. “South Carolina didn’t push him away. I’ve had other kids go to South Carolina, and it’s a very good school, …

Langley verbally committed to South Carolina on Wednesday, and will be playing against current teammate and future Georgia commit Quincy Mauger.
Kell High School's football duo of Brendan Langley and Quincy Mauger had hoped to play in the same backfield at the collegiate level, continuing their legacy of excellent football together. These dreams will not come true, as Langley verbally committed to the University of South Carolina on Wednesday.

And to Natarvis Chang, my head coach Derek Cook, Eric Burke, and Fabian Stone, who all mentored me throughout this process and kept me level headed. There’s no football like Kell Football" Mauger surprised his own mother with his …

The Longhorns' safety decided in secret last week to play for UGA.
In a move that was meant to surprise his mother, Kell High School football safety Quincy Mauger announced his verbal commitment to the University of Georgia Bulldogs before the start of the school's prospect camp on Friday. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Mauger had picked Georgia over the University of Central Florida last week, but kept his decision close to the vest until the announcement just before the annual "Dawg Night" camp. “I picked Georgia because it has everything I need to be successful with academics and on the football. It’s a great opportunity, and I took it,” said Mauger in the AJC. It remains to be seen whether or not Mauger's decision will influence Brendan Langley, who is also attending the camp despite …

It's not entirely clear what bumped the Dawgs out of Brendan Langley's top spot.
University of Georgia football fans who were looking forward to Kell High School star cornerback and wide receiver Brendan Langley donning a Bulldog cap on National Signing Day may be in for a disappointment. “I had a little bit of a misunderstanding with Georgia but it’s already been cleared up for a while now,” Langley told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday. Despite making amends with UGA, Langley has dropped the Dawgs to number four on his list of favorite colleges. The decision, made earlier this month, puts fierce SEC rivals Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina in the top three and knocks the Dawgs out of their previous number one spot. UGA did earn some points with Langley for offering a scholarship to Kell cornerback and …

Kell junior Brendan Langley is drawing attention across the Southeast and beyond as one of the top defensive football recruits in the nation in the class of 2013. Rivals announced Monday that it rates Langley as the country’s 19th-best cornerback in his class and considers him a four-star recruit.

That ability has earned Langley scholarship offers from most of the SEC, including national champion Alabama and …
