Continue ReadingIn the state of Georgia, players are starting to see playing time earlier and earlier. Kids are bigger, stronger, and faster than ever, and we saw plenty of freshmen earn valuable playing time during the 2022 season.
Here are a few 2025 prospects who are seeing their recruitment take off…
Mason Short Mason Short 6'7" | 280 lbs | OL Evans | 2025 State GA – Right Tackle – Evans
If there’s one young OL from the Augusta-area who is seeing his stock rise by the day, it’s big 6-foot-6 275-pound Mason Short Mason Short 6'7" | 280 lbs | OL Evans | 2025 State GA . He already looks like a SEC-caliber prospect with a long, lean frame and plenty of room to add more mass and muscle. He started all season at right tackle as a freshman and has the potential to grow into a really strong prospect sooner than later. He could move over to left tackle eventually with his length and overall frame, so he’ll be a prospect to know about for the immediate future. He’s strong in the upper body and moves his feet well for someone his age. He’ll be able to stand out in his region over the next few years and is already one of the top college prospects in the area. He earned an offer from Penn State today and one from the Alabama Crimson Tide earlier this month. His stock is soaring, and the offers will continue to roll in.
Honored and grateful to have received an offer from Penn State University!! @CoachDScott1 @CoachTrautFB @coachjfranklin @PennStateFball #GoNittanylions pic.twitter.com/JaqloC2HMD

Jaylen Bell Jaylen Bell 5'11" | 160 lbs | DB Grayson | 2025 State GA – Cornerback – Grayson
Don’t look now, but the Grayson Rams are in re-building mode, and they have one of the state’s young defensive backs already making plays as a freshman.. The talented athlete is still looking for a future position to call home as he can make plays both on offense as a receiver and on defense as a defensive back, but many feel like his potential could be as a lockdown cornerback due to his length and cover skills. He already holds multiple D1 offers including ones from Georgia, Florida State, Ole Miss, and now, Louisville. If he’s able to see the field a ton as a freshman for a program like Grayson, the sky is the limit for his potential over the next few years. He’s a young freshman to know in 7A and he’s bound for a gigantic sophomore season in 2022.

Peyton Joseph Peyton Joseph 6'4" | 280 lbs | OL Peach County | 2025 State GA – Offensive Line – Peach County
The Peach County Trojans are no strangers to pumping out big-time offensive line prospects and Joseph is the next major bully to come through. Already a reliable, powerful, physical prospect as a freshman, Joseph was very impressive last year and appears to have a very promising future. Already around the 6-foot-3 280-pound mark, Joseph looks like an upperclassmen already and really played well at multiple positions. He moves well in run blocking as a guard and does a great job of playing through the whistle. He plays physical and comes from a winning program that breeds toughness. He’s a great looking prospect early on and it’s easy to see D1 potential. The offers are starting to roll in for the young freshman and he just earned a big one from the in-state Georgia Bulldogs.

Jadon Perlotte Jadon Perlotte 6'4" | 215 lbs | LB Buford | 2025 State GA – LB – Buford
One of the top young defenders across Georgia, there’s a lot to like about Buford’s Jadon Perlotte Jadon Perlotte 6'4" | 215 lbs | LB Buford | 2025 State GA . A hard-hitting linebacker with great instincts and impressive size at 6-foot-3 200-pounds, Perlotte made a big impact as a freshman for one of the top programs and defenses in Georgia last year, helping the Wolves win another state championship. He can make plays in coverage, but Perlotte does a good job of making plays in the backfield against the run. He’s a sure tackler, and he knows how to deliver a big hit when he meets the ball-carrier. He shows a lot of potential and will be one of the best defenders on thee defense in 2022. He’s an exciting young player and he earned a new offer recently from Miami.
