VERSION 1.0

With offers being thrown out earlier and earlier it’s time to face the fact that football players are going the way of basketball. Verbal offers are going out before many high school prospects have accomplished something significant at the varsity level.

Below is the initial South Georgia Top 24 for the class of 2019. This list will change dramatically over the next two years. Why? Some athletes physically develop later in life, especially offensive linemen. While others peak at an early age and never seem to get any better by the time they are a senior. So this list will expand exponentially and players will make movement. It’s way too early to set anything in stone.

What is my definition of South Georgia? Any school below the gnat line starting with Warner Robins all the way to the Florida line. This also includes schools from Savannah to Columbus in the geographic area of South Georgia.

South Georgia produces between 30 and 40 FBS signees in any given year. That’s more scholarships per year than states such as Arizona, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. That doesn’t count the slew of FCS stars that call South Georgia home.

It’s our goal is to help as many football players in the state of Georgia reach their goal of playing football on a full or partial scholarship. In the end it’s the education that a student athlete receives that will eventually carry them through their entire life. Football is a great sport but eventually it comes to an end at an early age no matter how good you are.

Any coach that feels that their sophomore athlete has been missed on this early list should contact as via twitter @BVEvery or @RecruitGeorgia. Please include the hudl link when promoting your player and the film must be at the varsity level.
