<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These fast-rising prospects in Georgia recently added big offers...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621064"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695eb8485413d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top young defensive line prospects in Georgia, Chee is a powerful South Georgia defender who helped lead the way for Thomas County Central, one of the very best teams across the country. At 6-foot-4 295-pounds, Che is coming off a dominant sophomore season where he lived in the backfield, making an impressive 48 tackles, 18.5 TFLs and four sacks with 11 QB pressures. He explodes off the snap, fights off blocks, and knows how to clog running lanes in the trenches. His potential is easy to see and big offers are coming his way. He earned a major offer from the Georgia Bulldogs this week and more are likely on the way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["950958"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695eb848541f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An impressive pass-catching tight end with impressive size, above-average ball skills, and a big target in the middle of the field, Brinson runs really well for size and showed he's a big-play weapon in the passing game last year. The sure-handed 6-foot-6 21-pounder caught 30 passes last season for 469 yards and six touchdowns. He's a threat in the middle of the field and does a terrific job of picking up yards after the catch. He's ranked as the No. 4 TE prospect and recently earned a new offer from the North Carolina Tar Heels. Just a sophomore, look for Brinson to have an even bigger junior season in 2026. Don't be surprised if more Power Four offers come his way over the next several months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1669907"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695eb8485428e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A rangy linebacker with impressive length, toughness, and closing speed, Gouda knows how to hit and brings good size to the table at 6-foot-2 220-pounds. The Douglasville native out of South Paulding is a physical run defender who can also harass the quarterback in the backfield. In just nine games, Gouda was a tackling machine as he made 100 total tackles, two sacks and one forced fumbles. He's one of the top linebackers in West Georgia and proved it this fall as a junior. Like Che, Gouda earned a major offer from the Georgia Bulldogs this week and more should be coming his way this winter and into the spring. He's currently ranked as the No. 17 LB prospect in the state for the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2077213"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695eb84854329"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A powerful left tackle with impressive feet, a strong initial punch, and a lengthy 6-foot-4 295-pound frame, Aliu is one of the top interior offensive line prospects in the state who moves well and can protect the quarterback while dominating in the run game. He's big, physical, and does a great job of playing hard until the whistle. He drives defenders backwards with ease and has no problem burying them into the ground. His potential is easy to see, and while he already holds an impressive offer list, the Locust Grove standout earned another new SEC offer this week from the Tennessee Vols. As dominant as he was as a junior, look for this promising lineman who be even better as a senior next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["487904"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695ebb78a9b63"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A speedy, explosive wideout in South Georgia coming off an outstanding junior season, Watkins is a dangerous pass-catcher for a Thomas County Central team that went undefeated once again in 2025. He was a major weapon in the passing game and a threat to score any time he had the ball. Ranked as the No. 6 WR prospect in Georgia for the 2027 class, Watkins has a lean frame, strong hands, and the ability to elude defenders after the catch. He hauled in a team-leading 55 passes this fall for 847 yards and 11 touchdowns. He's one of the top 2027 wideouts in Georgia and earned a new offer this week from the UCLA Bruins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
