Continue ReadingThe early signing period has come and gone, but make no mistake; there is plenty of uncommitted talent still looking for a home. Today’s piece centers around some of Georgia’s top senior pass catchers who have yet to pick a college. The group as a whole has been under the radar in the recruiting scene and could see a late push of offers soon. Here’s who to know!
Cameron Edwards, 6’4″, 190, Jackson
A lengthy x receiver that has proven to be a more than capable blocker on the perimeter. Edwards shows impressive elevation on 50/50 balls and will naturally pluck the football out of the air. He’s a major mismatch against linebackers when working out of the slot and uses his long strides to create separation on vertical concepts. Edwards plays fearless in traffic and will even bounce off tacklers on punishing hits.
Rishon Spencer, 5’10”, 175, Duluth
When you turn on Spencer’s tape, the first thing that jumps out at you is the pure speed. This guy is blazing past opponents and leaving them in the dust. He’s shown crisp routes and smooth transition skills. He is dynamic with the ball in his hands and can easily turn a quick game concept into a seventy-yard touchdown.
Miles Thornton, 6′, 195, Sandy Creek
A productive prospect that challenged safeties all year long. He shows plenty of build-up speed downfield, along with outstanding body control. Thornton refuses to get flustered when jammed by second-level defenders, and calmy keeps working towards his route. He’s as sure-handed as they come and made a few ridiculous catches this fall.
Alexander Diggs, 5’9″, 195, Brookwood
Diggs’ skill set is extremely unique as he can legitimately play two different positions at the next level. He shows great initial burst and knows how to manipulate defenders with his stem. His change of direction is seamless, and he showed proper vision to spot cutback lanes. He can even make a major impact as a kick-off return man.
JT Pendleton, 5’10”, 160, Eagles Landing
Don’t let his size fool you; this young man can Moss defensive backs. JT is a natural deep ball tracker that can hold the line. He’s a major threat on the post route and can make defenders look silly after the catch. He has plenty of speed to run by corners squatting on his routes and will make you pay on double moves as well.
Jameel Avery, 5’10”, 160, Chamblee Charter
Avery proved to be quite shifty in 2021 and produced most of his yards after the catch. The play strength is there as he regularly muscles through arm tackle attempts and continues on his way. I thought his patience as a route runner was one of his more underrated assets. He’s even effective running between the tackles, proving that he has no issues lowering his shoulder on opposing linebackers.
