Georgia RB Lucas Farrington having strong senior season

One of the top running backs in the Peach State this fall has been Marietta (Ga.) Walton standout Lucas Farrington.

The talented senior heads into the state playoffs having gained 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Over the course of his prep career, the 5-foot-10, 180-pound Farrington has shown he can catch the football and be an every-down back.

With his final prep season winding down, Farrington’s recruitment is picking up. Georgia Tech is one of the prominent programs in the mix.

“Me and Coach (Norval) McKenzie have built a tight relationship over time,” Farrington said. “He’s been hitting me up constantly trying to keep me in the backyard.”

It’s an opportunity Farrington is excited about. He’s taken game visits to Georgia Tech, Louisville and Iowa.

“I’m setting up my officials coming up,” Farrington said.
