Why Top 40 - "Billy is the leader
of this offensive line," added new Columbus head coach, Bubba Davis. "He
can really move for a kid that size and he has a great desire to be the best he

Colleges interested
in Harris: Alabama, MSU, Stanford, and Duke
Marvin's top school:
Alabama, MSU, Vandy, and Duke
Alabama : "That is where
my parents met. My sister is on the rowing team at Alabama right now. It just
feels like home over there. I grew up a huge Alabama fan."
MSU
: "It is only 30 minutes from home, and I have some friends who play
over there. Tobias Smith is my best friend, and he will be a freshman over there
this year. They also signed another good friend of mine, Baker Sweedinburger."
Duke
: "I like Stanford, Vandy, and Duke because of their academic situation.
If you graduate from any of those three schools, you are set for life. Plus, all
three programs are on the rise. You get the best of both worlds with them three."

Billy also attended
the Under Armour/Scout.com S' East Select combine on Sunday.
How did his
experience go?
"It was not what I thought it would be," added
Billy. "I was expecting it to be like a combine, where you run the 40 and
do shuffles and all of that stuff. But it was more of a training camp. We did
dashes, latters, footwork drills and that kind of stuff."
What did
Autrey learn about himself from the camp?
"I learned that my footwork
is pretty good. I finished first out of the centers in most of the latters and
sprints. They also gave us some tips on running the 40, with our take offs. That
is going to help me out a lot."
What will the renewed confidence do
for his game?
"It boosted my confidence up pretty high. I also went
to the Army All-American combine and that gave me a boost."
What will
Billy take away from this combine?
"The 40 yard dash tip is going
to really help me. I can not wait to use it this summer at the team camps. It
is really going to help me take off. The footwork and passing drills is also going
to help me out a lot. I learned a lot at the combine. I am really glad that I
went."
