Bowman qualifies

Defensive back Devin Bowman received his qualifying graduation test score and is headed to Athens, per Weiszer.

The signee received the score he needed on the English portion of the Georgia High School Graduation Test, according to athletic director and vice principal Craig Parrott.

“He’s good to go,” Craig Parrott said. “He’s made it. It’s great news.”

Parrott said Georgia coaches had said that everything was ready for him in Athens once he got the needed result.

Bowman called football coach Mark Mariakis earlier this morning and the coach spoke later to his mother.

“She’s was just really ecstatic,” Parrott said. “She was just unbelievable happy.”

Linebacker Kent Turene from Lauderdale Lakes, Fla., was still awaiting word as of this morning on being certified by the NCAA Clearinghouse. Coach Mark Richt said he won’t report until that happens.
