The American Youth Football’s Georgia Pac-12 conference will host its Letter of Intent National Signing day on Feb. 20.
Jermaine Hudson, the Georgia Pac 12 commissioner, will host the signing event.
American Youth Football is the largest youth football program in the country, and the Georgia conference is based right here in Augusta where some of the games are played, Hudson said.
“Teams are based right here in Augusta, Ga.,” said Hudson. “I got a lot of teams in Columbia County and Richmond County as well. Those teams are assigned to my league, which is the Georgia Pac-12, and we play here on Saturdays at the high schools. That’s where we play all our youth games at. Then, they move to the region, which is Sanford, FL, and then we do the Nationals in Kissimmee, FL.”
