6 Prospects Pick Up First D1 Offer

When camp and visit season rolls around, you best believe that prospect all across the nation will be adding offers left and right. As a result, several players will see their first set of D1 offers roll their way. Here are 6 guys in Georgia who recently got to witness that feeling.    [player_tooltip player_id='556326' first='Grant' last='Hollier'] is a muscled-up TE prospect spending most of his time on the outside, offering a mismatch threat. Might not be the most fleet of foot, but he can be dangerous after the catch once he gets going downhill, proving tough to tackle. He uses his frame to box out defenders when he settles down. He can also go up through the arms of DBs to highpoint the ball. Not the most slick route runner, but he won't get knocked off his path and can cause DBs to hang onto him as he crosses the field. Hollier is also a noteworthy baseball player, checking the multi-sport athlete box. He should have no problem consistently playing in-line, at least physically. Hollier just picked up his first D1 offer from Maine.     Revis McClairen is a fluid, long DB prospect with some of his best football ahead of him. He is very fluid in the hips, allowing him to turn, run, and stay in stride with most WRs he lines up across. At the top of the route, he can snap with WRs and stick on their hip as they travel across the field. Thanks to his length, he clouds the catch pocket nicely and will challenge every play over the top as long as he gives himself a chance to make a play. He is thin, but willing as a tackler and strikes with good pad level. McClairen holds several small-school offers and recently added one from Navy.     KJ Thomas is a fluid athlete with the true ability to play on both sides of the football. He is an 11.27 runner in the 100M with a 40-inch vertical. He is fluid in his hips, allowing him to snap off route combinations on offense and weave with the ball in his hands. He possesses natural hands, frequently plucking the ball away from his body and while in awkward spots. On defense, his fluidity might translate best, turning to run with anybody on the field and sticking on the hips of WRs. He is willing as a tackler and can dodge blocks when he fires downhill. I am not sure what spot Thomas ends up at, but he is an outstanding football player and possesses impressive athletic traits.     It was a matter of time before offers started rolling his way. Charleston Southern became the first D1 school to offer. Green tested exceptionally well at our most recent combine, testing at least in the 98th percentile in combine ratings when stacked against historical data for his position, according to Tracking Football. He did it at 6'2 243 as well. I've never evaluated Green in a spot where he was easy to guard. He is way faster and twitchy than most players his size, and he just brushes off DBs when he gets going downhill. Factor in his impressive impact-blocking skills, and you have a complete TE/HB prospect. With his athleticism and explosiveness, I could see coaches looking at him at DE as well. The HB is a lost art, but if anyone is in the market for one, [player_tooltip player_id='514070' first='Hunter' last='Green'] might be one of the best the nation has to offer.     Eastern Michigan was the first to offer [player_tooltip player_id='283871' first='Kamden' last='Jennings'], who happens to be one of the fastest DBs in the state. Jennings is a track standout, clocking a PR 10.80 this spring. He is a smaller, skinner prospect that plays both ways, but will settle full-time at DB. He is very pesky in man coverage on the outside, stemming from his speed and ability to match releases. Might not possess the size that other CBs do, but he is active at the catch point and attacks the football directly. he takes reps at WR, where he flashes decent ball skills and the ability to track the ball over his shoulder. He is a productive tackler for a smaller guy, quickly closing space to the football and striking with good pad level. To me, Jennings is an obvious nickel projection.     [player_tooltip player_id='1620007' first='Jack' last='Sacchetti'] is a long, scrappy DL prospect just scratching the surface of what he is capable of. Sacchetti is 6'4 240 and still possesses plenty of room to add good weight. He is an active defender, willing off blocks and possessing enough suddenness to shoot into the backfield and get after the football. He uses his length to his advantage, funneling the ball carrier into his arms or to another defender. His future development will come from developing adequate play strength, but he is a good athlete that plays multiple sports and plays with energy. Cornell is the first D1 to offer this rising junior.
