Joshua Horton – EDGE – Langston Hughes
A long, athletic edge defender at 6-foot-5 275-pounds, the Fairburn native had a big offseason and followed it up with a strong junior campaign. He was excellent at the point of attack and was dominant against the run. His length allows him to handle opposing tackles and his raw strength allows him to set the edge as well as anyone in the area. He holds a few offers already and earned another SEC offer from Arkansas.

Dee Crayton Dee Crayton 6'2" | 210 lbs | LB Denmark | 2023 State GA – LB – Denmark
One of the most dynamic players in the region, Crayton is an impressive two-way player who has been a tackling machine so far this season. The 6-foot-2 215-pounder is extremely versatile and can line up at middle linebacker, outside linebacker, and blitz from anywhere eon the field. He has a nose for the football and has enough speed to go sideline to sideline to get to the ball carrier. He’s great at getting after the passer but is reliable when dropping back into coverage as well. Crayton earned an offer recently from Auburn after a visit to take in the Iron Bowl.

AJ Hoffler AJ Hoffler 6'5" | 245 lbs | DL Woodward Academy | 2023 State GA – Woodward Academy
One of the fastest-rising DE prospects in the state, the 6-foot-5 245-pound Atlanta native from Woodward Academy is in the middle of seeing his recruitment take off since he’s been able to get to the QB with ease. He’s a terrific pass-rusher and has proved it this year with 9 sacks. When he meets the ball-carrier, he knows how to deliver a big hit. He’s great in pursuit and finds a way to rip the ball out when he gets there. He’s a guy who demands double teams, and if he doesn’t, he’s going to make a big play. He recently earned a major offer from Penn State.

Robert Billings – DB – Milton
One of the hardest hitting defenders in the 2023 class, Billings is coming off an excellent regular season for the 7A powerhouse Milton Eagles, showing he can both cover and help in the run game. The 6-foot-1 1805-pounder has made 46 total tackles from his safety position and has picked off four passes as well. He’s smart, instinctive, and has made a lot of plays for one of the state’s top defenses. He’s tough, knows how to hit, and is starting to see some offers come his way. Billings recently earned an offer from

Troy Ford Troy Ford 6'1" | 235 lbs | DL Calvary Day | 2023 State GA – Linebacker – Calvary Day
He may play some defensive end down the road, but the big outside linebacker is one of the top overall defenders in the Savannah area. He’s strong, thick, and has plenty of athleticism in his 6-foot-2 235-pound frame. He’s physical as a defender and knows how to get after the passer off the edge. He’s one of the top overall defenders in the region and he earned an offer this week from West Virginia.
