Recruiting Roundup: Analyzing 6 Recent GA Commitments

Here at Prep Redzone, we aim to keep you updated on prospects who have committed to play college ball at all levels. Here, I dish on 6 recent commitments.    Liberty continued its subtle invasion of Georgia by adding Gavin Askew. Askew does a tremendous job of keeping his pads and chest clean. At the line, he can make subtle head fakes and dip his shoulders, shrinking his chest and acting as a smaller target for offensive linemen. He possesses the jab and arm strength to press out blockers and keep himself free. When needed, he can quickly shed and chase the football. He will need to become more dense to play against the big boys at the FBS level, but he anchors down well and avoids getting washed down the line. Askew might not have the explosiveness and flexibility some DL prospects in the state have, but he is fundamentally sound and can win the hands battle. He projects as a true DE in a 3-man front scheme, who can also shade inside.     Tobi Adewoyin broke out this spring, adding several D1 offers. He has decided to stay at home, committing to Kennesaw State. He is listed at 6'1 185 and has plenty of room to fill out. He is a pure downhill striker, projecting him best to the S spot. He aggressively breaks on the football and violently makes contact, often closing space before receivers can fully receive the ball and turn upfield. His angles could improve when chasing the ball to the sidelines, but he has enough speed to recover nicely and can subtly adjust his path to make tackles. How far along he can come in coverage will ultimately dictate his production at the next level, but he is still an athletic S prospect who can hit, which is always worth something. There is plenty of upside here.     [player_tooltip player_id='667497' first='Tavion' last='Wallace'] is one of the premier players in Georgia, and Arkansas was able to leak into the Peach State to steal his commitment. Wallace is now up to 6'1 220, raising his floor another level. His closing speed flashes on tape, bringing his stout, explosive frame downhill and often running through blockers like they're nothing. 10.61 100M speed shows all over this tape. He flushes QBs immediately and leaves them struggling to create and escape. He might not thump a lot between the tackles on tape, but he puts his helmet in a pile on every rep. His lateral quickness and range should allow him to be on the field for every snap, clouding passing lanes and often spying on the QB. Wallace is explosive and can roam all over the field. Early on at the college level, there's a chance he plays closer to the line and helps rush the passer, but he will eventually slide back as a traditional LB prospect and flash his range on an every-down basis.     Western Kentucky gets plenty of production from their WRs, making this a brilliant landing spot for Sanchez, who accumulated P4 offers during his recruitment. Sanchez is an impressive athlete. He is big, strong, fast, and also has a baseball background. Sanchez is a vertical receiving threat, frequently getting DBs moving north which sets up the rest of his game. He can outstride DBs as he trots down the field, and flashes excellent ball skills. He can play above the rim, but he can also reach back across his body to pluck underthrown balls off his hip. He has soft hands and the patience needed to make contested grabs. At the top of his route, he can chop his feet and break back toward the QB on a dime, which often puts DBs on the turf and gets their tires spinning. He has good hands and can get DBs moving north, which is what will be his go-to move at the next level.     [player_tooltip player_id='1186928' first='Andrew' last='Stargel'] is a mean-natured OL prospect who will provide quality depth across the board for UCF. Hovering around 6'4 300, Stargel has a frame that can project well to each position on the offensive line. However, he will likely end up playing as a guard, or at right tackle. Stargel is a bruiser, locking in on his target and bullying them until the whistle blows or until they're on the turf. Sometimes, a knockdown isn't enough, and he'll drive defenders through the turf or sit on them. His speed to contact is put on full display on tape. For a big guy, he quickly finds contact and hits a top gear that will make defenders look like deer in headlights. In pass protection, he isn't passive. He catches rushers and will often just launch them away from his frame with his strong arms. Stargel will have to harness some of his violent nature to prevent overpursuing and missing blocks. However, the energy he provides should allow him to make his mark early in his career.     [player_tooltip player_id='1318448' first='Bariate' last='Kara'] is a massive EDGE defender with plenty of upside. He comes in at 6'5 250 and is a basketball athlete as well. There is plenty of room to add weight, and there's a chance he could eventually outgrow the EDGE spot and put his hand in the dirt. Kara is very raw and still learning how to shed blocks and play his position. However, his combination of speed and length allows him to keep his chest clear of blockers and overwhelm his competition. His pursuit skills are a green flag at this stage of growth. He often chases the football down from behind, and will even get a mitt on the football to knock it loose.
