Continue ReadingSeveral publications across the state have released their All-Region teams for the 2023 season. These lists are excellent ways to acknowledge hundreds of student-athletes for their accomplishments on the field. Here, I dug into the tape and found 10 prospects from the 7A and 6A regions in Georgia that have caught my attention for unique reasons.
Aden Canty – 2024 – DE/EDGE – Marietta
Canty is a shockingly underrecruited EDGE defender who should be a high-upside addition for any school lucky to land his signature. Canty comes in at a long and lanky 6’4 210 and proves disruptive with his length. He can line up attached to the line, but he is best at the OLB spot where he can rush standing up or drop back into coverage. He is hard to throw over and around, which takes away passing windows for the QB. He is long and uses his length to press blockers, but he is nimble enough to bend around the edge and shoot off the inside shoulder of the blocker. He is an active pursuer of the football and is essentially impossible to escape from once he gets his hands on the ball carrier. Canty is a rare body type and has yet to reach the peak of his potential.
ZaMario Woodgett – 2025 – OL – Campbell
Woodgett is an impressive 2025 prospect with a fairly well-rounded game and an outstanding frame at 6’5 285. He is a bit raw when it comes to pad level and his OL-specific movements, but he is quick enough to get out as a lead blocker and has the explosiveness to knock defenders off the ball. He is thin in the ankles, which shows us that he has the athletic profile to get out in space and hold his own against quicker defenders. Woodgett anchors nicely in the passing game and is hard to run around, but he does most of his damage in the run game. He is explosive off the snap and can power defenders out of running lanes in down block and combo block concepts. Again, he is raw, but he has good size and flashes moments of good tape in all facets of the game. Woodgett could pick up some recruiting traction this offseason.
Dube Enongene – 2025 – WR – North Paulding
Enongene is a big-time matchup threat on the outside thanks to his combination of size and speed. He comes in at 6’1 185 which gives him enough length and leverage to get his hands over defenders and make contested grabs in jump ball-type situations. What makes him different is his sheer speed off the line. He quickly gets up to his full speed and destroys the cushion created by DBs. Often, he gets right up on DBs before they can get their hips fully around and get in phase. Other times, he flashes excellent footwork and can stop on a dime to create hesitation. Enongene can stem off other route concepts from the vertical route as DBs are trying not to get beat deep. He is super twitchy and lightfooted in and out of his breaks and does a good job of working back to the football and getting upfield when he catches it. Enongene is a super dynamic speed threat on the outside who can break off a TD on any snap. He should be considered a D1 WR prospect who could have a massive senior season.
Ian Williams – 2025 – DB – Osborne
Williams is an active safety for Osborne who can do a lot of things at a high level on defense. He comes in at 6’0 180, checking some frame boxes for DBs. He roams the backend of the defense nicely, playing center field and tracking the ball exceptionally well. He flashes excellent ball skills on tape, both offensively and defensively. He gets to the spot, leaps higher than everyone else, and highpoints it away from his body. Simply put, the ball production is there. Williams really impresses me with what he can do coming downhill. He reacts to the run game nicely and does a good job of violently closing to the football while maintaining integrity with his angles and keeping the action in front of him. When he strikes, he shows some pop in his pads and drives his shoulder into the midsection of the defender. There is a little bit of everything on his tape. He can play a traditional S spot, nickel, and line up in the box as well. There’s not much he can’t do.
Hudson Morton – 2025 – TE – North Gwinnett
Morton is a well-rounded TE prospect who has put himself in good position to pick up some recruiting attention heading into his senior season. Morton comes in at 6’3 235 and looks like he has more physical development left in the tank. Morton is a bit more loose and athletic than your typical TE prospect. He can hold his own after the catch, run away from defenses, and mirror faster DBs nicely when he settles down as a blocker. He is a good route runner in the sense that he causes LBs to hesitate, which opens up plenty of room for him to leak out of traffic and be wide-open for receptions. He flashes soft hands, showcasing grabs away from his body and with one hand on tape. He is more than willing as a blocker. He can peel out and settle down against defenders and strike with good hand placement. He then reworks momentum through the defender, which often ends with him on the ground. Morton is worthy of recruiting attention this offseason.
Xaden Benson – 2024 – CB – North Atlanta
Benson is a dynamic defender who just picked up an Ivy League offer from Harvard. Benson spent a large portion of his snaps lined up as a slot corner, but he also can play on the outside and line up in the box to rush the QB as a blitzer. Benson is a highly intelligent defender who is at his best lined up with cushion and breaking on underneath routes. He is smooth in his footwork and is explosive enough to quickly click downhill on a route. He plays with excellent route recognition, reading the QBs eyes and confidently taking the correct angles to slip by WRs and make a play on the ball. He finished the year with several INTs, including 4 pick-sixes, which provides context on his ball skills and production. Benson’s coverage skills are certainly his strength, but he is a good striker for his 6’0 175 build and hits with good pad level. He looks the part of a prospect that could grow into a nickel role at the next level. Regardless of where he plays, he is a highly instinctual playmaker.
Eric Hart – 2024 – WR – Gainesville
Hart has been a reliable and consistent target for a potent Gainesville passing attack the last two seasons. Hart is a long 6’1 170 and uses his length to reel in the ball in a crowd. He does a good job of creating deception and subtle hesitation on the deep route. He then tracks the ball nicely over his shoulder, flashing a wide catch radius and the ability to snag the football even if not thrown 100% accurately. Hart does a good job disguising when he is running an in-breaking route. He hardly hints when he is going to go deep versus when he will stem off another route. He does a good job of maintaining speed throughout his route, which allows him to split defenders and unlock new areas of the field. He can also stack multiple moves and run more complex, college-level routes. Hart is a consistent multi-level playmaker who could sed another recruiting surge here at the end of the recruiting calendar for 2024s.
Somdee Satiphone – 2024– DB – Habersham Central
Satiphone is another senior sleeper that impressed me when I turned on the tape. He is a man corner on the outside and has experience with both press man and off-man coverages. He also doubles as a returner. At 5’10 170, he has good enough length at the corner spot, but he makes up for whatever lack of length he has with impressive ball skills. He came away with 3 INTs on the year and 9 PBUs, flashing soft hands and the ability to be physical through the hands of the WR. He comes downhill and tackles well, but I like what he is capable of in press coverage. He might not have the desired length for it, but he is not afraid to get physical and disrupt timing at the line. He is also fluid in the hips, easily turning to run and staying in phase with WRs. Satiphone is still unsigned and worthy of some small school looks.
Matt Pearch – 2025 – QB – Dunwoody
Pearch is a legit baseball prospect who has already made a name for himself on the diamond. However, he is a good football player in his own right. In fact, I would go as far as to say he is a legit D1-graded QB after watching his tape. He comes in at 6’2 190 and is how you would imagine a pitcher looks, long and lanky. He is a pure pocket passer with limited mobility as a runner, but he is mobile enough to get out on the move and escape from pressure. He stands tall in the pocket and maintains a steady base as he looks to fire the ball downfield. His arm action is impressive, showing outstanding elasticity which allows him to contour his arm in several different ways to make all kinds of throws. He generates tons of rotational energy on his throws, which adds to his velocity. When you add together his loose hips and fluid arm action, you have yourself a prospect who can throw the ball off any platform and is capable of making any throw. Pearch has instantly jumped up my 2025 QB board.
Tyree Chisholm – 2026 – ATH – Glynn Academy
Chisholm is an underrated skill player with big-time playmaking ability on both sides of the football. He is listed at 6’0 150, coming in on the featherweight side. Regardless, this dude can absolutely move. On offense, he makes playcalling simple at times. You can toss him a screen and watch him burn past defenders down the sidelines. He has decent lateral mobility, but he is definitely a “catch it and go” type player at WR. At DB, his speed allows him to remain in phase with WRs and stick on their hip all over the field. While he is lighter and might not be the type of guy you consistently put in super physical situations, he has the length to reach in and attack the catch pocket. In zone defense, his speed works in his favor as he can cloud an entire side of the field and beat WRs to the spot. Chisholm is a vastly unheard-of prospect, but his speed profile makes him someone to watch.
