As is the case with a lot of football players in Gwinnett County, Norcross High defensive back Jarett Cole attracted suitors from across the Southeast and the country. Nebraska, Iowa and Wake Forest were among schools that offered him scholarships.
Cole elected to stay closer to home, a decision that he will make binding Wednesday on national signing day. He’ll be one of 17 prospects who are expected to sign national letters of intent with Georgia Tech. Cole will also continue the flow of recruits from Gwinnett to Tech, a pipeline largely constructed by defensive coordinator Ted Roof.
