Julius Columbus Julius Columbus 6'2" | 270 lbs | DL Gainesville | 2025 State GA – DT – Gainesville
A quick, explosive defensive tackle who can really blow up any particular play, Columbus is a junior who is about to burst onto the recruiting scene. He earned a new offer from East Carolina this week, and if he continues his excellent play, should see even more offers come his way this fall. At just over 6-foot-2 and 270-pounds, Columbus isn’t the biggest defensive lineman in the 2025 class, but he’s without a doubt one of the more productive linemen in the Gainesville area and across 6A. He’s quick off the snap and naturally finds his way into the backfield. He shows quick hands and the ability to swallow up ball-carriers and sling them to the ground. He’s only made 13 tackles, but he’s made an eye-opening 7 TFLs and an impressive 4.5 sacks so far this season. He’s a prospect to know about who will only improve more and more with each game.
Caleb Bell Caleb Bell 6'3" | 255 lbs | DL Milton | 2025 State GA – DL- Milton
One of the top junior defensive linemen in North Fulton, Bell is the son of former Georgia Bulldog and Pittsburgh Steeler Kendrell Bell, and when you turn on the tape, it all makes sense. At 6-foot-3 260-pounds, Milton is a versatile lineman who can play both on the inside or on the edge. He’s big, strong, and knows how to shed blocks. He’s lived in the backfield and it’s led to a new SEC offer this week from the Missouri Tigers. Bell does a good job of creating pressure from the inside and has a great motor, giving everything he has on every play. Through the first few games of his junior season, Bell has made 27 tackles and an impressive 6.5 TFLs. He’s also made a team-leading six sacks early this fall. Bell flashes easy Power 5 talent and should see more offers come his way sooner than later. His best game came against heated rival Roswell where he made nine tackles and four sacks.
JaQuentin Madison – DT – Alpharetta
Another impressive defensive lineman from the North Fulton area, Madison is a powerful lineman who transferred from St. Francis to Alpharetta, giving the Raiders an absolute force on the line. He plays with a mean streak, can blow through blocks with ease, and knows how to make a play on the ball. At 6-foot-3 and 275-pounds, Madison has plenty of size and earned a new offer this week from the Missouri Tigers, who love coming down and getting players out of Fulton County. Madison has the size, quickness, and overall strength that should allow him to see more SEC-type offers to flow in. He moves well for a guy size size and will be even better as he continues to improve his technique and develop more moves to get into the backfield. He’s an impressive 2025 lineman whose stock will continue to rise over the next several weeks.
