Bradley Shaw 6’0 200 MLB Shaw was arguably the hottest prospect in the state this week. With an offer from reining the reigning National Champions(The University of Georgia), he also landed an offer from the University of Washington. As one of the more dynamic defensive prospects has to offer, this comes as no surprise, and with Shaw’s playmaking ability, this is just the beginning of his recruitment journey. As a modern linebacker, his speed enables him to always be in the action. He flows sideline to sideline, can get downhill, make plays in the backfield, and be an asset in zone coverage. Additionally, with exceptional athleticism, you can use him as a delayed blitzer, QB spy, or cover a TE or RB. This versatility matches UGA’s multiplicity philosophy on the defensive end and can be valuable to any college in the country. Look for Shaw to continue to gain high-end power five offers. https://twitter.com/Bradley_Shaw7/status/1539674127090548737?s=20&t=QJbxi7AVLSdLFDhWy3vrrQ [player_tooltip player_id="241149" first="Emmanuel" last="Waller"] DE 6’4 240 Waller is looking to establish his name in the elite conversation, and with the week he had, it’ll be hard to deny him. While earning offers from Marshall and Georgia Tech this week, he also had an impressive showing at Auburn’s summer camp. With ideal size, Waller also displays a high skill level, making him a top-tier pass rusher in the state. With a great combination of burst and strength, he can frequently dominate his matchups, especially when being blocked one-on-one. With a quick first step and excellent hand movement, he can keep himself clean and gain momentum when bending the corner. He also has a refined swim move that seems unstoppable when getting to the backfield. In addition to his initial burst, Waller shows great closing speed when making plays on ball carriers and can run down plays to the sideline, which is rare at his position. Look for Waller to build on this momentum and propel himself to more power five offers. https://twitter.com/laylowwaller/status/1540293082536726529?s=20&t=QJbxi7AVLSdLFDhWy3vrrQ Luke Oswalt 6’4 290 OT/OL Oak Mtn. 2023 Oswalt’s week has been noteworthy.
