Coming off back-to-back official visits to Georgia and Tennessee over the past two weekends, Micah Abernathy spent this week weighing his options in hopes of deciding on a college.

Top247 senior cornerback Micah Abernathy of Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross, Ga., committed to Tennessee on Friday morning.

He only needed a few days to make up his mind.

The Top247 senior cornerback from Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross, Ga., committed to Tennessee on Friday morning, choosing the Vols over Georgia and Oregon less than five days after he returned home from his official visit to Knoxville.

“I'm happy and blessed to say I have officially committed to the University of Tennessee! I can't wait for the next 4 years,” he posted on his Twitter account Friday morning.

Abernathy gave Tennessee its 26th known commitment for the 2015 class and its second in a span of less than 36 hours. Three-star athlete Vincent Perry of Nashville, Tenn., committed to the Vols on Wednesday night.

The 6-foot-1, 187-pound Abernathy also became the second projected cornerback in Tennessee’s class, joining three-star prospect Darrell Miller of Cedar Hill (Texas) High School.

Oregon, Georgia and Tennessee all hosted Abernathy on official visits over the past five weekends. He said he talked with his family a couple of times this week following his trip to Tennessee last weekend to discuss his options and reach a decision.

“After my three officials, we sat down and talked about it on Monday,” said Abernathy, a four-star prospect who’s ranked the nation’s No. 182 overall prospect and No. 21 cornerback in the 247Sports Composite for the 2015 class. “We talked about it a little bit Wednesday and a little bit Thursday, and then I decided I’m going to be a Vol.”

He said he called Tennessee coach Butch Jones and defensive backs coach Willie Martinez early Friday morning to inform the Vols of his decision, and they “were ecstatic” after hearing the news.

“They both told me I made their day,” Abernathy said. “That was really cool.”

Abernathy is the younger brother of Cincinnati senior running back Ralph David Abernathy IV, who spent the first two years of his career with the Bearcats playing under Jones’ staff. The elder Abernathy also was recruited to Cincinnati by Jones’ staff.

Micah Abernathy admitted that his family’s familiarity with the Vols’ coaches was one of the reasons he ultimately chose Tennessee.

“That was a big factor in the end finalizing my decision,” he said. “It came down to comfort level. I have known the coaching staff there for a while. I just felt more comfortable there with the coaching staff and the players.”
