HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Georgia Tech came visiting Robert Nelson. Now there's turnabout.Nelson, the Alabama A&M senior linebacker, was a standout at Stone Mountain High School on the outskirts of Atlanta. Tech sent a coach to recruit him; coincidentally, it was the same day that Georgia also had a coach visiting Nelson.
However, Nelson had his mind set on going out of state. He signed with Tennessee, which in 2009 under Lane Kiffin was not exactly rivaling DisneyWorld as the happiest place on earth.
Nelson transferred to Alabama A&M - "I was blessed to be able to have another opportunity and a coaching staff that was going to give me an opportunity to lead a defense and play more football," he said -- and has been a consistent standout for the defense.
He's the tackle leader with 89 and he's "looking to break" the 100-tackle mark Saturday.
