Memphis junior defensive lineman Michael Perry III said he plans to attend Arkansas' game against Georgia on Saturday in Little Rock.

Perry, 6-1 1/2, 328, 5.32 of Memphis Whitehaven has offers from Ole Miss, Missouri, Memphis, Mississippi State, Tennessee and Tennessee State. He said he's been communicating with defensive line coach Rory Segrest and Director of Personnel Daniel Bush.

He said Alabama linebacker commit Joshua McMillion might join him.

As reported before the Texas A&M game and again on Sunday, UCLA defensive line commit Bryce English of DeSoto, Texas will visit for the Georgia game. His teammate and defensive end Carrington Nelson will join him.

Nelson is an impressive 6-3, 250 pounds and passes the eye test. He just started playing defensive end after playing linebacker last year. He stood out immediately after seeing DeSoto play Grand Prairie the Friday before the A&M game.

Defensive end Gabriel Campbell of Yazoo City, Miss. said he's hoping to attend the Georgia game. He has about 10 offers, including Arkansas.

Look for prospects from the Dallas, Northern Louisiana and the Memphis area at the Georgia game.

Georgia offensive line commitment Pat Allen of Reisterstown (Md.) Franklin left Fayetteville about 6:30 Monday morning. His mother and stepfather also made the trip with him. Word is the visit went well.

Arkansas was expecting eight or so official visitors for the UAB game but the early kickoff of 11 am may make it difficult for some to make it in time for the game.
