Every recruiting cycle, the two-time defending champion Georgia Bulldogs offers a pair of scholarships to running backs. This spring, Atascocita four-star standout Tory Blaylock received an offer from the prestigious gridiron program. A native of Humble, Blaylock is only a sophomore and is already fielding scholarships from local programs Houston, Texas Tech, and UT, as well as powerhouses Notre Dame and Tennessee. Blaylock originally made the recruitment radar after former Dallas Cowboys DeMarco Murray personally recruited Blaylock for his alma mater at Oklahoma.  

The son of former NFL position player Derrick Blaylock, both of Tory’s brother’s already competed at the D1 level, at Sam Houston State and Wisconsin respectively. 

In his first season with the varsity squad, Blaylock earned Texas District 21-6A Offensive newcomer of the Year. He’s also an accomplished track star, earning a 10.7 in his 100-meter run. 

After entering the Class 6A Division I playoff bracket as the No. 2 seed, Atascocita fell to North Shore in the semi-finals last season. They will have plenty of momentum with Blaylock in tow over the next two seasons.
