5 Georgia Prospects With “Superstar” Upside

<p>Georgia has long been a breeding ground for CFB and NFL superstars. Here, we get out ahead of the crowd and try to find a few prospects with “superstar” upside that might be relatively under the radar. </p>   <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='667548' first='Christian' last='Langford']</em></strong> - QB - 2025 - Buford</p>   <p>Last season for East Coweta, Langford bursted onto the scene and showed elite playmaking ability all season long. Now at Buford, his upside both as a QB and as an ATH is only going to grow. Langford is super twitchy in the pocket and far too athletic for most defensive line prospects to chase after. He senses pressure well and creates when he needs to. He has noticeable arm strength and can rocket the ball all over the field. There aren't a whole lot of touch throws on tape, but he still shows the arm strength to reach the hole shots and fire the ball into small windows. When he's out on the run, his explosiveness and straight line speed are unmatched. He will almost always be one of the fastest players on the field, which makes for some highlight reel plays whenever he decides to run the ball. Langford has offers from UCF and Troy. His best football is ahead of him and I think he has the ability to play at the P5 level. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/c5dag/status/1597407389887651840?s=46u0026amp;t=9e_kTuWig0AJ5gNWN-sDtg </div></figure>   <p><strong><em>Travis Smith Jr</em></strong> - WR - 2025 - Westlake</p>   <p>Despite still breaking onto the varsity scene, Smith has made quite a name for himself on the recruiting trail. Why? He has some major upside. Smith is all of 6'4 195 and flashes some fantastic athleticism. He has extremely long arms that go down to his knees and has some long, powerful strides that allow him to eat up some grass. For a player of his size, he isn't clunky and is a twitchy enough route runner to create some separation. As you could expect, he offers a wide catch radius. With his strong, natural hands, he is able to pluck the ball out of the air away from defenders. Just by the look of it, Smith is built like an elite outside receiver at the next level. Once he maxes out his physical development and ties everything together, he has a real chance to become a can't-miss prospect on the recruiting scene. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/travis_smith_jr/status/1662088796660281345?s=46&t=9e_kTuWig0AJ5gNWN-sDtg </div></figure>   <p><strong><em>Kobby Sayki-Prah</em></strong> - EDGE - 2025 - Roswell</p>   <p>Sayki-Prah generated some noise this offseason, and for good reason. He is a freak athlete coming off the edge with outstanding bend and long arms. As a sophomore, he mostly played with his hand in the dirt matched up against interior linemen. His speed and lateral mobility was no match for bigger blockers, Sayki-Prah was able to slip right by them. However, I believe he projects at the EDGE spot. He can create leverage with his length and can expose any misstep by tackles with his speed. He also shows that he can cover a lot of ground, which is a plus when he has to drop into coverage. Sayki-Prah's best football is ahead of him, and the ceiling is high. He has several FBS offers as of today, and I expect his offer list to continue growing. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/kobby_sakyi07/status/1601204586680791041?s=46&t=9e_kTuWig0AJ5gNWN-sDtg </div></figure>   <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='681170' first='Joshua' last='Washington']</strong></em> - WR - 2026 - Savannah Country Day</p>   <p>After a productive freshman season, Washington solidified himself as one of the best GA WRs in the 2026 class. Washington is long, lanky, and is the definition of a fluid mover. He showcases outstanding flexibility in his routes and with his cuts. He creates separation exceptionally well, both with and without the football. Washington can make plays at all three levels, showing the vision to make plays after the catch and the focus to reel in the deep ball. Washington also spent some time at DB, where he looks natural and comfortable. However, with his playmaking ability, he projects at WR long term. Washington currently holds an offer from Georgia Southern and has his best football ahead of him. It's a matter of time before he pops on the radar for more P5 programs. Another season of production should do the trick. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/joshgotnext1/status/1667360330756882433?s=46&t=9e_kTuWig0AJ5gNWN-sDtg </div></figure>   <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='205937' first='Kail' last='Ellis']</em></strong> - OL - 2026 - Cass</p>   <p>Ellis already holds major P5 offers and is one of the most highly recruited 2026 prospects in Georgia. Still, he has a few more years to develop and become an even more well-rounded prospect. Ellis is not built like your typical 2026 OL. He has an incredibly thick frame with a strong lower body. This allows him to drive defenders as well as anchor in the pass game. Ellis does an outstanding job of striking defenders in the chest and playing with good balance. Once he's locked in on you, it is almost impossible to set yourself free. Ellis spent most of his time at RT. I believe that he could play the OG or C position very well at a major P5 school. He has the size, strength, and drive to blow defenders off the ball and move the big guys out of the way to carve open running lanes. I expect Ellis to maintain his blue-chip status over the next few years and further advance his game. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/kailellis78/status/1594349924887445511?s=46&t=9e_kTuWig0AJ5gNWN-sDtg </div></figure>
