It appears

one of our local football players is heading to the

hallowed halls of Georgia Tech.

Reuben

Houston, a running back and safety for the Starr's Mill

Panthers has committed to play football for the Yellow

Jackets next year. Houston was recently named to the

AJC's Super Prep 11 and is also a former state champion

in the triple jump. He jumped 46 feet and nine inches as

a sphomore.

Last

season, Houston, 6'0, 185 pounds, saw time at defensive

end. He is a very quick player and has tremendous

athleticism. Houston runs the 40 in 4.45 seconds, benches

300 pounds and squats 450 pounds. He is also a strong

student, sporting a 3.7 GPA and scoring an 1,130 on the

SAT.

Houston

made his decison during a scrimmage at Tech during Fan

Day over the weekend. The Tech football program netted

several other recruits over the weekend.
