At 6-2, 190 pounds with long arms and room to grow, he projects well as a box safety or big nickel at the next level. Plays with controlled aggression and shows the physicality you expect from a high-level defender. Already one of Georgia's top returning linebackers and carries multiple FBS offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jamarian Mingo | WR | 2027 | Valdosta | @mingo_1x</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(Top Flight)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mingo continues building momentum this offseason as his recruitment picks up.
