Khairi Fortt’s life has become a circus ever since the spring, when strong performances at camps and combines elevated him into one of the top college prospects in the country. Fortt, Stamford High School’s dynamic linebacker, has received offers from over 30 schools. He will make his first official visit to Georgia on Friday.
While Fortt has narrowed his list down to six schools, he will likely make his decision very shortly and disclose it sometime thereafter. It will be an upset if he does not eventually end up at Penn State, which was the early favorite, Georgia or North Carolina, two schools whose stocks soared after unofficial visits this summer.
While Fortt has been dealing with the endless schedule of interviews with the press and non-stop communications from colleges, he has been trying to prepare for the Black Knights’ season-opener against Ridgefield next week and staying on schedule to graduate early, in January.
Oh, and Fortt will be a guest blogger this fall to provide us with an inside look at his harried life.
I caught up with Fortt before practice today to discuss how he manages to fit 36 hours of activity into a 24-hour day.
I am a huge Fortt fan. Khairi Fortt. I want to hear more about the football player and less about the accomplishments and business ventures of his father.
