McDONOUGH — Two Stockbridge High football players committed to different schools this week, as Abu Bangura Jr. committed to Georgia Southern University and Mike Price committed to Appalachian State University.
Mike Price commits to Appalachian State
Price posted 58 total tackles last year with two interceptions. He said his decision was mainly based on the relationship he had built with the Appalachian State coaching staff.
“I chose App State because of the relationship me and Coach Scot Sloan had,” Price said. “He always stayed and in touch and made sure I’m on the grind.”
Price said that the decision to commit made his parents proud and excited for the accomplishment.
“I did not expect to commit early,” Price said. “But I knew it was going to be before the first game. I am expecting to get better as a student and as an athlete and always expect to win.”
The expectations for Price’s senior season haven’t changed much as he hopes to bring a state championship to Stockbridge.
“Now that I’ve committed, and some others on my team are, we expect to bring a state championship back to Stockbridge,” he said. “Grind hard every day and get better together.”
Bangura Jr. commits to Georgia Southern
Abu Bangura Jr., a defensive end and tight end for the Tigers, announced his allegiance to Georgia Southern earlier this week.
“I chose Georgia Southern because I know that I will be getting a good education,” Bangura said. “I will also be a part of a winning program. I am all about winning, since I come from a program that wins already. So I can fit in and I have the fire to continue the tradition.”
Bangura said that choosing Georgia Southern came down to a desire to be a part of something big.
“I know we’ll win championships and I want to be apart of that,” Bangura said. “Not necessarily just one person but it’s a family thing — the coaches make you feel like you’re at home.
“It’s a weight off my shoulders as I close down my recruiting,” he continued. “I’m proud to be an Eagle.”
