Kim Jong Un’s sister may have taken over a key North Korean post, officials say Kim Jong Un’s sister Kim Yo Jong is effectively running one of the most important political bodies in North Korea, officials in Seoul believe, according to South Korea’s defense minister. The development, if true, likely further cements her status as the secretive country’s second-most powerful figure. Speaking to lawmakers in the National Assembly on Tuesday, Defense Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo said Kim Yo Jong is likely now in charge of the Organization and Guidance Department of North Korea’s ruling Workers’ Party, the party body that deals with ideological indoctrination, party organization and political appointments. Experts say the OGD is also responsible for monitoring the estimated 3 million members of the WPK to make sure they are sufficiently loyal to Kim Jong Un and respect the teachings of the North Korean regime. Kim Yo Jong has for years been a trusted aide and confidante to her brother. She previously served as one of North Korea’s top propagandists and is now an alternate to the Politburo — the senior body of North Korea’s ruling party.
Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny was poisoned, Berlin hospital says The hospital treating Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny says tests indicate that he was poisoned. Berlin’s Charite Hospital noted that the Kremlin critic was suffering from “intoxication by a substance from the group of cholinesterase inhibitors.” It added that Navalny, who was transferred to the German capital from the Siberian city of Omsk on Saturday morning, is in an artificial coma in an intensive care unit. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used as dementia medications. They are also found in pesticides and chemical warfare nerve agents, including sarin and Novichok, which was used in a 2018 attack on ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury, England. They can slow the heart rate and are toxic to the brain.

Laura is now a hurricane and forecast to strengthen more By Madeline Holcombe CNN
After battering western Cuba as a tropical storm, Laura has strengthened into a hurricane in the Gulf Coast and is expected to strengthen even further as it heads toward Texas and Louisiana. Hurricane Laura currently has maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, according to data from a NOAA hurricane hunter plane, and is likely to become a major Category 3 storm or higher over the next day or so. The center of the storm is located 625 miles from Lake Charles, Louisiana. Laura’s impending arrival comes as the Gulf Coast avoided a powerful storm in Marco, which significantly weakened before reaching the U.S. The Texas and Louisiana coasts from San Luis Pass to Morgan City are on alert for the arrival of the storm which could reach the states as a Category 2 hurricane overnight Wednesday, according to the National Hurricane Center. But warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico mean Laura could strengthen even more if conditions are right, CNN meteorologist Rob Shackelford said. As a Tropical Storm, Laura killed at least nine people in the Caribbean. When it makes landfall in the U.S., it could bring storm surge of 7

University of Alabama reports over 500 cases less than a week after classes started Six days after classes began, the University of Alabama has experienced an “unacceptable rise” in coronavirus cases, the university’s president said. The University of Alabama’s main campus in Tuscaloosa has recorded 531 total cases. The remaining campuses in Birmingham and Huntsville have recorded 35 cases cumulatively, according to the university’s COVID-19 dashboard. With over 46,150 tests and 566 positive cases, the coronavirus positivity rate on University of Alabama campuses sits around 1.2%, according to the dashboard. University of Alabama President Stuart R. Bell called on all students, faculty and staff to work together “at this critical moment” after the climb in COVID-19 cases on campus. Bell urged social distancing, mask wearing and limited gatherings. He said violators would be subject to possible suspension from school. “Completing the fall semester together is our goal,” Bell said Sunday in an email to students. “The margin for error is shrinking.” University police and Tuscaloosa police will monitor restaurants, off-campus residences and Greek housing to ensure patrons and residents follow coronavirus safety guidelines, Bell said. Shortly after Bell’s message to students, Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox or-

Tuscaloosa officials earlier this summer accused young people in the city of attending “COVID parties” with the purpose of becoming infected with coronavirus. The University of Alabama conducted an investigation and said it didn’t identify any students who participated in the parties.
Calif. wildfires have burned 1.25M acres, but firefighters say the weather is now helping Lower temperatures and weaker winds are helping firefighters get a handle on deadly wildfires that have afflicted California for days, fire officials said Tuesday. More than 650 wildfires, many sparked by lightning, have burned more than 1.25 million acres in the Golden State since August 15. That’s more than six times the size of New York City. The fires have left seven people dead and more than
1,400 buildings destroyed, Cal Fire said. Increased humidity and low winds have helped firefighters, many of whom had been working 24-hour shifts, Cal Fire operations section Chief Mark Brunton said Tuesday. “The weather’s really cooperating with us,” said Brunton, who is helping oversee the battle against the 78,800-acre CZU Lightning Complex Fire southwest of San Jose, in San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties.
TikTok sues Trump administration over looming US ban TikTok sued the Trump administration Monday in response to what it said is a “heavily politicized” executive order that seeks to ban the short-form video app from the United States. The suit marks a major escalation in the fight between President Donald Trump and the wildly popular TikTok, which has 100 million users in the U.S. and is owned by a Chinese company, ByteDance.
New York AG seeks to depose Eric Trump in investigation of Trump’s finances The New York state attorney general is asking for a court to compel Eric Trump to be deposed in an investigation of the Trump Organization. In court filings Monday, Letitia James’ office said Eric Trump initially agreed to sit for a deposition on July 22, only to refuse, “balking less than two days before he was scheduled by agreement to give testimony.” James’ office outlined the scope of the investigation into whether the Trump Organization “improperly inflated the value of Mr. Trump’s assets on financial statements in order to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits.” The attorney general’s office has been investigating President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization since 2019, when Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen testified before Congress that Trump’s annual financial statements inflated the values of his assets in order to secure favorable loans and insurance coverage, but deflated the value of other assets in order to reduce real estate taxes. — From wire reports

Jerry Falwell Jr. says he has resigned as president of Liberty University Jerry Falwell Jr. has resigned — again. And this time he and Liberty University agree. The embattled evangelical leader said he has resigned as president and chancellor of the Christian school, a day after reports that Falwell and his wife took part in a sexual relationship with a former hotel pool attendant. The school said Tuesday that its Board of Trustees accepted Falwell’s resignation, and also accepted his resignation from its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Falwell’s departure from the school his late father founded comes after a tumultuous 24 hours filled with conflicting reports about his fate. On Monday the evangelical Christian university in Lynchburg, Virginia, said Falwell had agreed to resign as Liberty’s president but then withdrew his resignation later that day.
Iconic actor Sean Connery turns 90 Happy birthday, Sean Connery. The first James Bond turned 90 on Tuesday, as difficult as that is to believe. Connery was born August 25, 1930, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The beloved actor, who starred as Agent 007 in the first Bond film “Dr. No” in 1962, hasn’t been on the Hollywood radar for years, but that doesn’t mean he’s not still a big star. Social media celebrated his milestone birthday and The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw celebrated the actor and his career in a piece headlined ”Sean Connery at 90: a dangerously seductive icon of masculinity.” “As much as the Beatles, it was Connery’s charismatic Bond who kept alive Britain’s postwar amourpropre,” Bradshaw writes. “Does Britain appear to be waning pathetically on the world stage? Oh no. Britain is still powerful — but in secret, you see, like 007.”
Sofia Vergara shoots down claim Ellen DeGeneres was being racist Ellen DeGeneres has been getting some bad press lately, but Sofia Vergara is saying she’s not a part of that. There have been allegations of a toxic work environment at “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” And recently a video of Vergara appearing on the show in 2015 has been making the rounds on social media. In it DeGeneres appears to be mocking Vergara’s accent. The “America’s Got Talent” judge is originally from Colombia, so the teasing drew criticism that DeGeneres was being racist. But Vergara tweeted that wasn’t the case at all. “Two comedians having fun with each other to entertain,” the “Modern Family” star wrote in the tweet. “I was never a victim guys, I was always in on the joke.” Singer and “American Idol” judge Katy Perry is among the celebs who have offered support for DeGeneres during the firestorm surrounding the talk show. — From wire reports
Primetime Emmys producers working hard to make sure show isn’t the ‘Zoomies’ By Marianne Garvey CNN
The Primetime Emmys are still being planned as a live show, and producers have less than a month to figure out exactly how to safely pull it off amid the pandemic. Host Jimmy Kimmel will be live from a stage in the Staples Center, but there will be no audience and no red carpet, The 72nd Emmy Awards executive producers tell Variety. And the show is not going to be one giant virtual meeting
MUST READ session, they said, noting they don’t want the ceremony to turn into the “Zoomies.” “Jimmy loves to work live, and we love to work live,” executive producer Reginald Hudlin told the publication. “This is a show that will still very much be, whenever and however possible, a live show. There’s a lot of challenges that come with doing a live show in a Covid environment. But we’re not running from those problems, we’re embracing them.”
The Staples Center was chosen because it’s large enough to house a crew under coronavirus-safe protocols. Producers also need to hook up an “unbelievable” number of wiring connections and live feeds to professional cameras wherever each nominee is located. Producers anticipate that’s about 140 live feeds coming into the control room. “In some cases, they may agree to have a family member in a nominee’s Covid bubble to operate the broadcast camera. The goal is to avoid using
platforms like Skype, FaceTime or Zoom on their laptop or phones,” Variety reports. As for the actual statue? “We’re coming up with a lot of interesting possible solutions,” Hudlin tells Variety. “And one of the things that we’re working through in terms of the show is that everything doesn’t have to be the same. We want to have a lot of variation and experimentation within the show. Once you say the world is evan agostini/getty images north america/getty images your studio, then you can do some inventive things.” Emmys sit on a table in New York during a previous event.

EAR DR. ROACH: I am a 51-year-old male in very good health. I have had blood tests taken yearly for the past 15-plus years. Nearly every test shows high hemoglobin. My average is 17.4, but has been as high as 18.1 within the past several years. (Anything above 17.5 Roach is considered high.) My primary care physician was never concerned. He said that my numbers were not much over the threshold and that as long as the numbers hold steady and are not increasing, there is nothing I should do about it. He retired a year ago, and my new doctor is very concerned. I was sent to a hematologist, who also was concerned about the high hemoglobin. We discussed what could cause this, and ruled out everything — including using performance enhancing drugs, sleep apnea, etc. She ran another set of blood tests to check for genetic markers for polycythemia vera. They came back negative. I did not have a bone marrow biopsy nor a test for erythropoietin. Is there any reason to keep searching for a cause when it seems I’ve exhausted the list? The primary concern is that I am at an increased risk of blood clotting that could cause a stroke or heart attack, so my doctor suggested I take baby aspirin. Should I have my blood’s clotting ability tested? Can I continue to donate blood? — L.B. ANSWER: The first step in deciding what to do after an unexpected test result is to decide whether it is really abnormal. The range of “normal” values provided by the laboratory represent where 95% of people without apparent illness would be. That means 5% of healthy people will have a lab result that is outside the published range. If you do 20 lab tests, which isn’t uncommon, 36% of people will have at least one abnormal result. Low hemoglobin levels, anemias, are very common, but high hemoglobin levels are much less so. It seems your former primary care physician determined that your hemoglobin result was normal for you, but your new doctor wasn’t so sure. An evaluation for the most common causes of high hemoglobin is reasonable, as some of them are quite serious. Polycythemia vera is a blood cancer, but the genetic tests you had make polycythemia vera unlikely. I am surprised you did not have an erythropoietin level, as most experts find that is an important test to evaluate high hemoglobin levels. A high EPO level indicates that something is stimulating your bone marrow to make more red blood cells. Sleep apnea was one good thought; high altitude, a defect in the wall of the heart, carbon monoxide poisoning and, rarely, EPOproducing tumors would be worth considering. A low EPO level would be more suggestive of polycythemia vera. Abnormal blood clotting is a critical issue in polycythemia vera, which is partly why it is critical to make the correct diagnosis. Deciding whether to go further in your evaluation — getting the EPO level, and if it’s low, then getting the definitive bone marrow biopsy — requires judgment. It also requires knowing how confident a patient needs to be. Some people are very uncomfortable living with uncertainty. Continuing to give blood will help both you and your community.

Pandemic behavior creates feather-ruffling
D
EAR AMY: I have a close friend who lives in another state. She doesn’t believe the pandemic is very bad, and though she does wear a mask when going out, she doesn’t take any other precautions and lives her life as normal. She believes that everyone should try to get sick in order to get “herd immunity.” Now my friend wants to come to this area to visit. I told her upfront that my husband and I are not allowing people into our house at this time, and that we could meet outside somewhere. That ruffled her feathers a little, but I think she agreed to that. Then, she wanted to know if I could pick her up at the airport and drive her 30 to 40 miles so she could stay with a relative. She made a snide comment about, “Or do you not want me in your car, either?” I told her no, and that my husband is in agreement with me. I don’t know how to smooth things out with my friend when she is on the opposite spectrum of caring about this virus and about other people’s health. She is an intelligent person who cares about her own health, and politically and ideologically we have always been on the same page, so I’m struggling to
deal with this rift and how to approach my friend with my concerns over her visit. I feel like I’m the only Dickinson p e r s o n i n America that feels the way I do. It’s making me feel crazy. What do I do? — Concerned DEAR CONCERNED: You are not the only person in America who feels the way you do, and you are not crazy. People are responding to this health crisis along a very wide spectrum. The varying responses, ranging from paralyzing anxiety to outright denial, are challenging to family and friendships alike. Your friend might live in an area where she has not experienced the reality of a COVID strike. Like so many others, she might carom around her own media silo, unaware or in denial of the reality others are facing. Although it would be hard to read accounts of first responders and still deny the true devastation of this illness, evidently you and your friend are currently existing in different realities. Logically, if you won’t have people inside your home just now, why on earth would you enclose yourself in a vehicle with them? Your friend’s
“ask” seems to have been a challenge. You are doing a good job of being forthright about your own limitations. Your duty should always be to convey your own values and protect your own health, while accepting the values of others and hoping that their behavior does not hold grave consequences. I have managed to extract a silver lining from this situation: COVID has finally freed us from feeling obligated to retrieve someone from the airport. DEAR AMY: I am 81 years old, and have two grown children (with teenagers) that live near me. They have decided that the pandemic is just about over and are not taking any precautions. They go out with friends, don’t wear masks, and are not social distancing. Consequently, I have avoided visiting. The few times I have visited, I make it a point to social distance. My daughter-inlaw gets passive-aggressively angry and will stop talking to me. She just clams up. I mentioned this to my son, and he agrees that she does that to me, but he will not say anything to her about it. I feel that she is being disrespectful, and I would like to know how to tactfully handle it. What can I say in a nice way to help
her understand? If it were my mother or my mother-in-law under different circumstances, I would have gone out of my way to help protect them instead of ignoring them and trying to make them feel guilty! — Upset Gran DEAR GRAN: Do not meet passive-aggression with passivity. If your daughterin-law goes silent, ask her, “Is everything all right? I get the sense you are not happy with me and I’d like to talk about it.” DEAR AMY: In your response to “Making Change,” you described your own childhood games of “cowboys and Indians,” as “despicable.” Why do you feel the need to describe such innocent childhood enjoyment in this way? — Disappointed — in YOU DEAR DISAPPOINTED: I am not at all threatened by owning my (common) childhood influences and behavior and telling the truth about how these things strike me now. You can contact Amy Dickinson via email: ASKAMY@amydickinson. com. Readers may send postal mail to Ask Amy, P.O. Box 194, Freeville, NY 13068.

National conventions are optimism vs. pessimism
f you watched last week’s virtual Democratic convention, you heard about an America with which you might not be familiar. Speaker after speaker portrayed America as a failing nation full of misery, poverty and angst that only they can make better. On his radio program last week, Rush Limbaugh reminded listeners what the fight for the future of America is about. He played an excerpt from Donald Trump’s inaugural address on Jan. 20, 2017: “The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs. And while they celebrated in our nation’s capital, there was little to celebrate for strug-
gling families all across our land.” Trump brought back those who had been struggling under the slow-growth ObamaBiden administration. Had it not been for the virus, which is being dealt with (more about that in a moment), Trump would be way ahead in the polls thanks to record employment across all demographics. And still the economy is making a comeback. Check the rising stock market, which has hit record highs. That is good news for retirees with mutual funds and other investment accounts. Contrast Trump’s address with the gloom and doom projected by Biden and his supporters in his professionally produced speech last Thursday night: “Here and now I give you my word: If you entrust me

While this week’s Republican National Convention can — and should — counter the anti-Trump claims by Democrats, the event should mostly focus on optimism. The country the Democrats describe is not the real America. We’ve come through far greater challenges in the past because of the optimism and tenacity of our citizens. Give some of these RNC speeches in front of people instead of the peopleless and uninspiring empty rooms used by the Democrats. It will make the evenings come alive with enthusiastic applause. Feature minorities who found jobs under the Trump administration. Highlight children and their parents who are benefitting from school choice. Invite a survivor of abortion to say how her life
has meaning and a woman who regrets having had an abortion and endorses the work of pregnancy help centers — something Planned Parenthood hates. Ronald Reagan used to say America’s best days were ahead. Republicans should say if the Biden/ Harris/Sanders/OcasioCortez gang assumes power, they will transform America into the darkness they now falsely claim envelops us. If they win, their pessimistic rhetoric will become all too real. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@ tribpub.com.

We just have to do what we do as an offensive line and just keep them off their backs.” The line’s transition to a new offensive coordinator, Todd Monken, has been smooth, too. “I wouldn’t say that it’s too much different for me (with a new coordinator),” said Ericson, who helped North to the 2017 state championship as a high school senior. “Football is football in my view. As far as pass blocking and the techniques, we’ve been able to adjust to them and his offense and he’s done a great job of coming in and teaching his offense and getting in our brains. We just have to go out there and execute.”
Former Gwinnett standout Davis signs with Dream From staff reports
The Atlanta Dream signed free agent Kaela Davis, who played high school basketball at Buford and Norcross, to a 7-day contract, the team announced on Monday. The team waived guard Alexis Jones in another roster move. A 6-foot-2 forward-guard out of South Carolina, Davis previously played three seasons with Dallas after the Wings selected her 10th overall in the 2017 WNBA Draft. Over three seasons, she averaged 5.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 93 games. Davis helped the Gamecocks to their first NCAA Women’s Basket-
ball Championship and their third straight SEC Championship in 2017. Prior to her time in Columbia, Davis spent two years in Atlanta with Georgia Tech, becoming the fastest Yellow Jacket in program history to reach 1,000 career points (52 games) and securing two firstteam All-ACC selections. Davis is the daughter of Antonio Davis, who spent 13 years in the NBA playing for four teams — the Pacers, Raptors, Bulls and Knicks — and is currently an analyst at ESPN. She has already begun quarantine protocol at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. and is set to join the Dream on Thursday, Aug. 27.

Falcons hope Hurst’s skills lead to breakout season By Will Hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com
The Atlanta Falcons are hopeful a change of scenery, in particular a different offensive plan, will bring out the best in Hayden Hurst. The team’s new tight end thinks it will. Hurst was acquired in a March trade with the Baltimore Ravens, who picked up Atlanta’s second- and fifth-round picks in the deal. The move made sense for the Ravens, with their loaded tight end room, and for the Falcons, who landed a fourth-round pick and a potential breakout star at tight end in Hurst in return. Hurst was used heavily as a blocker in Baltimore’s powerful rushing attack, while fellow tight end Mark Andrews was the most targeted receiver on the roster with 64 catches for 852 yards and 10 touchdowns. Hurst, 26, had a modest 43 catches for 512 yards and three TDs in his two seasons with Baltimore, which drafted him in the 2018 first round. He figures to build on those numbers greatly as the lead tight end in Atlanta. “It’s two totally different offenses,” Hurst said of comparing Baltimore to Atlanta. “Everything revolves around (quarterback and reigning NFL MVP) Lamar (Jackson) and it’s kind of a run-heavy system in Baltimore, and they’re really good at those power schemes and gap schemes and moving guys and kind of reducing guys to gaps. Here it’s a little bit more pass-heavy. It kind of caters to what I did in college (at South Carolina) a little bit better. I think I’m going to be able to use my size and speed, find these voids in the zone, help get (Julio Jones) open and try to get the attention of the safety using my speed up the field. I think it’s exactly what I was doing in college and I’m pretty damn excited about it.”
atlanta Falcons
Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst talks with the media after a training camp session in Flowery Branch. The Falcons are, too. They gave up a second-round pick because they liked the potential of Hurst, and his mix of speed and size (6foot-5, 265 pounds), and felt he was a good replacement for Pro Bowl tight end Austin Hooper, who departed in free agency after a big 2019 season. Atlanta’s coaches finally got to see their new acquisition in pads this week. “(Hurst) is an everydown tight end,” Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said at camp. “He’s over 260 pounds. He’s really urgent, really tough. My experience so far in practice is like this is a guy that puts in work. So far, when you see a player at that level working as hard as he is, he’s going to fit in just fantastic with this group. The work ethic, the toughness, it’s all there. So, we’re excited to see him, not just as a pass-catcher, but as an every-down tight end for us.” More development as a receiver excites Hurst, an intriguing player with an interesting background. He played two years of baseball in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization after being drafted out of the
Bolles School in Jacksonville, Fla., then played three years at South Carolina after joining the program as a walk-on. He caught 92 passes for 1,175 yards his final two years with the Gamecocks. If things go well in Atlanta, he could get close to those numbers in one season as part of a stacked Falcons offense that features the tight end in the passing game. “I think it starts on the outside. Julio’s going to be a first ballot hall of famer, so he gets a lot of attention, safety help over the top,” Hurst said. “You’ve got (Calvin Ridley) in the slot and he’s going to do his thing. It just opens up the defense for me. If can use my speed and athleticism, I’m definitely going to get open on linebackers and be physical on safeties, so there’s going to be a lot of singled up stuff for me. I’ve just got to keep doing my job and I think there’s going to be a lot of balls coming my way. “In another sense, me playing fast and playing vertical can maybe get some attention from the safety as well and maybe free up those other guys.
CARTER From A13 Football League and as a freshman at North — until the Bulldogs needed a linebacker. “From the beginning, I don’t think he was planning on being a linebacker, and that being the thing that defines him,” North head coach Bill Stewart said. Carter’s talent, and heavy recruiting interest from the nation’s top college football programs, steered him to defense, though. He started at linebacker as a sophomore for a 2018 team that reached the state quarterfinals, which led to a high-level college offers rolling in. The 6-foot-1, 220-pounder was an all-state selection, as well as the Touchdown Club of Gwinnett’s Inside Linebacker of the Year, last season as a junior after making 84 tackles and 10 sacks in North’s run to the state semifinals. He also contributed in spots at running back. His high school coaches thought he looked great at linebacker, and so did the college coaches as they added to an offer list that has grown past 50. The four-star

North Gwinnett linebacker Barrett Carter has committed to Clemson. prospect is in the 247Sports.com composite rankings as the No. 44 player in the nation (and the No. 4 outside linebacker), and the No. 5 player in Georgia. “I would say I’m sideline to sideline linebacker,” Carter said of his playing style. “I run a 4.5 (second) 40 (yard dash) so I can cover. I can hit. I can play inside. I can play outside. I say I’m a do-it-all linebacker.” Clemson won the recruiting battle for Carter, who hopes to be
a versatile linebacker in the style of former Tigers linebacker Isaiah Simmons, the No. 8 pick in this year’s NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. “I think (Carter’s) got pure athleticism,” Stewart said. “He’s a guy who can run like a running back and play linebacker. He can cover. He can do all those things that make him very versatile as a football player. I think Clemson sees that and they’ve utilized guys like him before. He can rush. He
That’s what me and (Jones) were talking about today. That’s just what I have to do is play fast and help the other guys out.” Quinn has seen some of Hurst’s strengths already. “The one thing that when you watch Hayden from college and even at Baltimore was his ability to run seam routes,” Quinn said. “So, there’s a certain knack and technique that goes along with that. How do you work a guy out of the seam and break back in to go catch passes? He has a really big catching radius where he can go up and grab it. So, those are things with his speed, he’s really good at running vertical routes.” Hurst’s skill set is different than other tight ends Ryan has played with, the quarterback said. Hurst hopes those talents manifest with a breakout NFL season. “For me, it starts with my speed,” Hurst said. “I’m 6-5, 265 and a lot of guys don’t understand how quickly I can move around. I think I’m able to get up on safeties kind of quick. And then the way Matt throws the ball where I’m able to use my size as well to box those
can play linebacker. He can drop back and play DB. He can do a lot of things.” The Tigers have done well recruiting Gwinnett in recent seasons, particularly on defense. The current roster includes South Gwinnett grad Justin Mascoll and Archer defensive backs Andrew Booth and Jalyn Phillips. Their 2021 recruiting class also includes Grayson running back Phil Mafah. North grad Mitch Hyatt, now with the Dallas Cowboys, played at Clemson and put in a good word for the Tigers. “Clemson just felt like home to me,” Carter said. “I couldn’t let that feeling go. … We’re getting some players (in the 2021 class), like Phil. We’re getting some of the best players in the country. I can’t wait to play with them.” Carter enjoyed the recruiting process, but is ready to move past it and look ahead to the 2020 season. “(Recruiting) had its ups and downs,” Carter said. “It was definitely fun going on visits and meeting a bunch of people. It did get stressful at times. You really had to evaluate each school and see where you would fit the best. But it was a blessing and I was glad
guys out, make those big boy catches. I’ve been doing that since college really well. I did it in Baltimore a little bit. I think that’s one of the things I think I’ll do really well this year just the way I move guys off the line and use my size and use my speed.” Hurst said he has become more comfortable with the Atlanta playbook, which has allowed him to play faster. He worked closely with quarterback Matt Ryan on the offense before on-field work began, and he is ready to see what the tandem can produce when games begin in September. “(Ryan’s) just such a professional,” Hurst said. “Being around a guy like that who knows the playbook like he does and approaches every single day as serious as possible, you can feed off stuff like that. It helps me in my routine to get going because I know Matt’s going to be prepared, so I know I need to be prepared and at my best because he’s counting on me, this offense is counting on me. I love that kind of stuff. It makes me kind of live up to the hype and everything. I’m just excited as heck to be here.”
I got to go through the process.” Stewart was impressed with how his star handled the whole process, not that he was surprised. “Barrett is a very high-character kid, the best of the best,” Stewart said. “He’s just one of the best people I’ve been around as far as a total player and person. He has a great family, integrity, character, all that, which makes him very coachable, makes him a leader. He’s definitely someone you want to bring home to momma. Anybody would be proud to have him as a player or a son.” Carter is even more important this season because North suffered huge graduation losses from its Final Four team. The team is counting on his leadership and his talents on both defense and offense, where he will be a contributor again. He wants to end his high school career on a positive note before he takes on the ACC. “It’s definitely sad now that I reflect on (high school ending) because I’ve grown up here (at North),” Carter said. “I wouldn’t want to have played for any other school or any other team. I’m glad I can say I played for North Gwinnett.”
