Five-star recruit Derrick Brown has reached a decision
The recruitment of Derrick Brown is over. The top rated player in the state of Georgia has come to a decision and will declare his intentions tomorrow live on television during National Signing Day coverage. The defensive lineman will be selecting from his five finalists: Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi State.
Brown did a short interview with a local news team to announce his decision has been made and his recruitment is over:

"Right now, I'm done with the recruiting process," Brown said. "I've made my decision."
After being viewed as a lock to sign with Georgia for nearly a year, several recruiting analysts are predicting Brown to sign with Auburn on National Signing Day. However, the five-star recruit is coming off an official visit to Tennessee, which has been known to secure elite prospects in the final moments of the recruiting process. Betting against the defending national champions would not be wise either, as Nick Saban and Alabama win far more recruiting battles than they lose.
Brown plans to announce his final decision live on television at 3p.m. ET during a signing day ceremony at his high school.
