GMC releases list of players eligible to leave after this season

Several Central Georgia players are on the GMC JC list of prospects who can be signed after this season.

Many are NCAA qualifiers out of high school, so they’re immediately eligible for a full NCAA scholarship without having to obtain their associate’s degree, and some can leave after December. High school athletes who don’t qualify must obtain an associate’s at a junior college before becoming eligible for NCAA play.

From Central Georgia: PK Daniel Gibbs of Veterans, OL Bobby Hutchinson of Warner Robins, CB Jaquan Jackson of Howard, WR Armon Porter of Warner Robins, and NT Khalil White of Dublin.
