Adryan has been a big stock riser, as there aren’t many flaws in his game. He is someone who could dominate a good wide receiver at the line, but if you need him to drop back at safety, he could do that as well. He is on a really good team, but even in that same breath, he is one of the more popular players on the team, and he practices against extremely talented players like

. You have to imagine they bring the best out of each other. Cole will be back next season and will be another general of this defense.

A big safety prospect with the ability to make plays on both sides of the ball, Cole is an instinctive defensive back with plenty of size at 6-foot-2 195-pounds. He’s a physical defender and a stout run defender who can also make plays on the ball in coverage. He’s one of the top returning defenders in the Atlanta area and is bound for a giant junior season for Douglas County this fall. Now, Cole is ranked as the No. 10 overall prospect and the No. 3 DB in Georgia for the 2027 class.

Adryan is another do-it-all athlete who can get the job done on either side of the ball. The Peach State standout measures to be about 6’2 and weigh around 175 pounds. Adryan took Georgia by storm last year with some impressive stats. With him producing 2,000 all-purpose yards and having a role in 16 touchdowns, it is clear that Adryan is a play-making machine. On tape, Adryan proved how he was able to stack up a stat line as he had in 2022. Coming out of the backfield, Adryan has a knack for making people miss and creating run lanes. When he is able to get to the edge, Adryan has the top-end speed to blow past defenders and gain large chunks of yards with no problem at all. Overall, Adryan is a pure athlete who is just simply better than the competition, right now. There’s time to figure out what position he’ll end up focusing on, but it’s clear he’s one to know in Georgia for the class of 2027. Having said that, I am very excited to watch him go to work in the future.

While watching Cole this summer for a few days in a row with the Georgia Future Stars program, I knew there was something special about his game. Standing 6-foot-2 and solid 180-solid pounds, he can do a little bit of everything. From Wide Receiver to Running Back to Linebacker to Safety and any other position in between, Cole excels at it. The Liberty Middle School student from Covington, Ga. accumulated over 2,000 yards of total offense in addition to 15 touchdowns and over 50 tackles. When looking at the recruiting landscape he’s built exactly like that traditional “Athlete” label because he is so big, so fast and can do a lot on the football field. Cole always plays basketball, baseball and track and field. There isn’t much he can’t do athletically at this point. In terms of versatility and ability to play a number of different positions at a high level, reminds me a lot of current Tennessee Volunteer and former four-star prospect out of Georgia, Jaylen McCullough — except Cole is already bigger.
