[player_tooltip player_id='165722' first='Makari' last='Bodiford'] - RB - 2024 - Walton   Bodiford is as complete of a back as you will find in Georgia. So far, he is approaching 1500 rushing yards and is sitting at 20 TDs. At around 6'0 210, Bodiford possesses the ideal size for an RB and doesn't lack any sort of speed or explosiveness. He is a patient runner that can accelerate extremely quickly and generate tons of momentum downfield. He runs through defenders with ease, often bullying them to the ground while staying upright. In space, once he gets going, there aren't many people that can catch him. For his size, he is very twitchy and can make people miss with quick and sharp movements. You won't find many players in Georgia with his frame and elite explosiveness, which is what makes him special. Bodiford holds several FBS offers, and more are coming.   Jordan Burns - OLB - 2024 - Pace Academy   Undoubtedly one of my favorite prospects to watch on film, and he is starting to garner some national attention. With offers from schools like Tennessee, Auburn, UNC, Arkansas, and numerous other P5 schools, Burns is steadily becoming a household name on the recruiting scene. Burns is a rare athlete that is one of the most explosive and fast prospects you will ever see. Burns lines up all over the field, but he spends most of his time at OLB. There, he is an incredibly fast speed rusher, shooting out of a cannon and immediately getting the edge on tackles. He can also run sideline to sideline and match up with receivers, making him the complete package. At the point of impact, he delivers jarring blows to ball carriers, enough force to knock the ball loose. Burns is a freak athlete that plays a very physical and violent brand of football. What more can you want? Burns reminds me of Owen Pappoe when he was coming out of high school. Like Pappoe, I expect Burns to be a yearly contributor at the highest level of college football.   Maqavious Saboor - S - 2024 - Kell   Saboor is one of the fastest and most explosive players in the state, and it's a matter of time before he develops into a national name on the recruiting trail. Plays on both sides of the ball very well, but is projected at safety. On defense, he flies all over the field and patrols the back end for Kell, where he has shown off some impressive ball skills. He is able to come downfield extremely fast and is a very fundamentally sound tackler. Has a tall and wiry frame with room to fill out, and will only get better as he grows physically. With his combination of speed, explosiveness, and athleticism, Saboor is a very interesting prospect and someone worth tracking.   [player_tooltip player_id='410503' first='Emaree' last='Winston'] - ATH - 2025 - Calhoun   Winston is one of the most versatile and dynamic prospects in all of the 2025 class and is already a household name on the recruiting trail. At 6'3 230, he has good size for a TE, where is projected to play. However, Winston plays everywhere offensively and is extremely dangerous wherever he lines up. He epitomizes the modern-day TE, which is someone that can line up all over the field and make plays in space. For his size, he is incredibly fluid and twitchy in space, making him dangerous as a route runner and making him a touchdown threat on every play. At times, he event takes direct snaps at the QB spot and runs from the wildcat, piecing his way through the defense and making people miss. Winston has all the size and physical traits needed to play TE while also possessing traits that we see in slot receivers. He is very dangerous and versatile, he will be a prospect to watch for years to come.   [player_tooltip player_id='321488' first='Dontrell' last='Glover'] - OL - 2025 - Langston Hughes   Glover is still growing as a football player, but he is absolutely massive at around 6'4 290 and shows tons of promise on film. He has a very high ceiling and is one of the best secrets in Georgia. Glover is an incredibly strong prospect with a high motor, always playing until he wears the whistle or until whoever he is blocking is on the ground. He does a great job of striking defenders and using his incredibly strong lower body to drive them way out of the picture. He also plays with good pad level, which is something we don't see often in young offensive linemen at his size. As he continues to grow and develop, he will start to reach his full potential, as he has all of the physical tools. It's just a matter of time before the secret is out.
