Who are they? Let’s take a look…
Cayden Lee Cayden Lee 5'11" | 150 lbs | WR Hillgrove | 2023 State GA – Kennesaw Mountain
A speedy receiver and one of thee best rout-runners in the 2023 class, Lee is a big-play waiting to happen every time he catches the football. A vertical threat who can bee dangerous in the open field, Lee has held multiple impressive D1 offers since early in his high school career, and on Wednesday he made his final decision and signed with Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels. The 5-foot-11 175-pounder knows how to get open, and he did it consistently last season for the Mustangs, having one of the best seasons of any senior receiver across the state. Lee caught 74 passes as a senior this fall for 1,101 yards and 13 touchdowns. Look for him to attempt to make an early impact in Oxford next year.
Barry Jackson Barry Jackson 5'11" | 175 lbs | ATH Cedar Grove | 2023 State GA – Cedar Grove
One of the biggest receiving threats in 3A last year, Jackson is an explosive wideout with plenty of burst and strong hands. An elusive playmaker with the ball in his hands, Jackson held multiple D1 offers throughout his recruitment, but in the end, it came down to Nebraska and Cincinnati. Although he had been committed to the Cornhuskers since early July, the Ellenwood native made the decision to flip and sign with Cincinnati during the first day of Signing Day. The 5-foot-11 175-pounder made his mark with the Cedar Grove Saints, and now he’ll have an opportunity to make a name for himself with the Bearcats.
Jevell Fugerson – Lee County
One of the top overall senior wideouts in South Georgia, Fugerson is an impressive athlete with tremendous ball skills and body control. He’s quick off the line, picks up yards in a hurry, and tough to run down by defenders. He’s a big-play waiting to happen and was a safe, reliable go-to option for Lee County all season long. He showed D1 talent on a consistent basis all season and ended up signing with Buffalo to end his career. The playmaking wideout was one of the best in the area throughout his career, catching 172 passes for 2,566 yards and 24 touchdowns in his final three seasons. This is a massive pickup for Buffalo as they land one of the more underrated 2023 receivers in Geeorgia.
