The only other mover in the 2016 class it outside linebacker Jaleel Laguins . The 6-2, 207 pound athlete tested off the charts at Georgia Friday night and you put that with his tape -- it is very impressive. Laguins was offered by Auburn and Georgia at camp last weekend and Florida and Penn State each offered in June. The Watkinsville (Ga.)

A 20-year-old Athens man charged Thursday with molesting a 12-year-old girl at her home in Oconee County had assault charges dropped against him in Athens for an alleged attack on a 13-year-old girl in 2013. Rivington Bradford Jr., is charged with aggravated sodomy, child molestation, false imprisonment and rape for Thursday morning’s attack on the girl in her home, located in a neighborhood off Epps Bridge Parkway, according to the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office. Bradford remained in jail Friday morning without bond. Bradford was arrested in July 2010 for assaulting a girl in Athens who told police he began sexually assaulting her, until her brother entered the room and attacked Bradford, police said. Bradford was charged with sexual battery in that incident, but a Clarke County grand jury declined to indict him on the charge. Regarding Thursday’s attack, Oconee County Chief Deputy Lee Weems said Bradford knew the family in whose home he was visiting. He is ...

The event organizers have written the chairmen of the congressional judiciary committees to ask for hearings to pressure federal investigators to step up their actives. One organizer, state Rep. Tyrone Brooks, president of the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials, speculates that part of the ...
