5-Star Georgia Commit Sony Michel Says Football First, Rap Second

Michigan State recruit Jay Harris recently ate up the headlines when he announced that he will turn down a scholarship for the slim chance of becoming a successful rapper. Georgia commit Sony Michel may have similar goals, but those will follow after school and a chance to make something of himself on the football field.

The 5-star running back, who committed to the Bulldogs in April, told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that football comes first and his music is second.

"Football is my first love, and then music is right after it," Michel told the AJC. "I will finish out football before I think about that (a music career)."

This seems like a wise decision considering Michel is an extremely talented football player and has a possible future at the next level. As for a rapper, well, there is one on every street corner and you can count on one hand how many actually make it. Get in line if you want a music career.

But this is still a serious hobby for Michel, who goes by the stage name "2Stackz," which ironically came from a goal he plans to accomplish with football.

Michel made people look silly on the football field, blowing past defenders with his speed and making guys miss in the open field.

While he has a bright future in the sport, he has also included 10 songs on his Youtube page. You can hear one of the songs below. Warning: lyrics are NSFW material.

According the report, Michel says that he writes the majority of his songs and has been working with a producer. He has also made appearances at a party and his high school, which has drawn positive feedback.

Actually, I have a good friend who is a producer, said Michel. (My friend) makes beats. I let him listen to my stuff. He makes beats for professional artists. He is actually trying to help me understand the business more before I jump into it. I'm just leaning right now before I get into it.

If Michel does everything right and fulfills exceptions on the gridiron, that music career could be on hold for quite some time.
