Sleeper of the Day
Fenadale Hicks
2025 Mitchell County
Offensive Tackle
Going into the 2024 season, Hicks was one of the more intriguing prospects we wanted to monitor. At 6’7″ 250 lbs., he has the apparent frame that any D1 program would like to develop. With his midseason film now dropped, we jumped into Hicks’ film looking for progression, and he did not disappoint. Hicks looks more physical at the point of attack. He is getting out of his stance, driving his legs through the block, and showing good energy throughout the play. That was a major point of pain with his junior film, so seeing this kind of activity is huge. Just being active and hustling downfield will yield good results. Hicks is still raw, but the kick-step does look quick, and again, better than 2023. He needs to get more flexible in the hips, continue to work on agility, and improve his pad level considerably. That can be taught at the college level, but what you cannot teach is an athlete with his kind of size and relative athleticism. He should be a priority for DII programs and DI programs need to continue to watch closely because you cannot deny his upside. Hicks is one of the longest guys in the class of ’25.

Three ‘n Out
It was another great game for junior receiver Hudson Cocchiara out of Cambridge. The dynamic receiver had 151 yards on 6 catches and 3 touchdowns in a 42-36 win over Westminster. Cocchiara followed up with a visit to Athens to watch the Dawgs take down Auburn. With impressive route running and great ball skills, the class of ’26 receiver will be one to watch as the recruiting cycle ramps up.
We had a great day in Athens yesterday! Thank you @GeorgiaFootball and @anthonyajmauro for the invite. Big thanks to @CoachOdom_ for spending time with me and @craigddandridge – we really appreciated the insights you shared. #GoDawgs @CoachColey @JEllisUGA @CoachJones_CHS pic.twitter.com/NLJRT9s2AH

Northeast Georgia’s top route runner Zeke Whittington was at Georgia Tech over the weekend. The senior has returned from a junior injury and currently has 700 yards receiving and 9 touchdowns though 7 games. Whittington is elusive in tight spaces, shows good balance breaking out of tackles and as we mentioned, Whittington can be nearly impossible to guard in man coverage. He dropped his midseason film last week, and it’s worth a watch.

After receiving interest mostly from colleges in lower classifications, Mason Coley visited Charleston Southern over the weekend. The Hawkinsville senior is an excellent athlete who should be pulverizing run blockers at the next level. He is explosive power cleaning well over 300 lbs. last offseason and even is the kicker for Hawkinsville, making a game-winner in Week 1 as time expired. Coley might not be the tallest at 6’2″, but his intangibles are through the roof. Stay tuned for more recruiting news, he could be heating up.
Had a great time up in Charleston for the @CSU_FB game! Thank you @CoachHollifield for inviting me! @HawkinsvilleF @Coachtsuttles @RecruitGeorgia @gobigrecruiting @Ga_Gridiron pic.twitter.com/Yu3M2zJxcW
