Another elite 2017 quarterback made a recruiting decision, but this time it was a decommitment. Bailey Hockman, the flame-throwing signal caller from McEachern, decided to reopen his recruitment after his mid-summer commitment to UGA. Since his decision, both Michigan and Arizona State have offered. Expect Hockman to become a national recruit due to his amazing raw arm-strength.

William Tomlin, an uber-athletic player from Columbia, was offered by Murray State on December 15. Tomlin had spectacular games this year that we highlighted earlier on Recruit Georgia.

A pair of players from Statesboro HS were offered by the University of Cumberlands on Dec 14th. Safety Samad Foster and running back Mahlon Williams are two sleepers that show a lot promise at the next level. Williams is a natural runner and has good power breaking tackles. Foster is a hard hitting safety that plays with reckless abandon.
