RECRUITING BUZZ
Kyric McGowan has been the most viewed profile on recruitgeorgia.com since his outstanding performance at The Opening combine in Atlanta 3 weeks back. He ran a reported 4.47 40 time and colleges began to offer soon after. McGowan now has 9 offers including: Western Kentucky, Central Michigan, Middle Tennessee, UMass, Georgia Southern & Mercer in the month of April.

Cedar Grove 4 star offensive guard Netori Johnson was offered by Oklahoma yesterday.
North Clayton offensive tackle Maurice Campbell said that A-Day at Auburn “was SICK” and made mention of a return trip. Campbell has Power 5 size.
Jaylen Griffin, a 6’2″ 226 outside linebacker from Rome, visited Eastern Carolina yesterday. Griffin runs a reported 4.58 40 time and 4.27 shuttle.
Sandy Creek running back Jaelen Greene also visited the ECU Pirates. Greene ranked the visit near the top to date. ECU was the first school to offer Greene and that could impact his recruitment.
Landmark Christian 2017 athlete Joey Blount committed to Virginia yesterday. Blount plays both safety and wide receiver in HS. He looks like a natural at safety though, and accelerates and closes on the ball carrier impressively. A very sound tackler, he wraps up, and explodes through his tackles – this was very good pickup for the Hoos. FILM
Levi Seabolt, the #11 nationally ranked wrestler in the country, visited Eastern Kentucky yesterday. Seabolt is a very aggressive blocker and uses his explosiveness to get the defensive lineman off balance.
Benedictine middle linebacker Chris Harris visited UCF over the weekend following his Georgia Southern visit. The bone-crushing hitter has been offered by Tulane and Cincinnati this month. He had 144 tackles last season. Really big on the 1st Team All Region LB’s FILM.
Class of 2019 running back Jeremy Smith visited Georgia Southern. He will be joining Jenkins QB Javonte Middleton next fall and should be a tough tandem to stop.
Jalen Browder has been offered by Tulane, South Carolina & Marshall in the last two weeks. The 2017 wide receiver has big time talent and Power 5 schools have begun to offer. He holds over 15 offers to date.

Veteran’s MLB Josh Lee received an offer to play for the Navy Midshipmen on April 7th. Lee has been talked about a lot on the site, and for ample reason. He is a big hitter, with good size and instincts to make an impact at the FBS level.
Myles James from Campbell HS was offered by Navy on the 7th as well. James is a big hitter who was All County and Region last year at linebacker. Expect the senior to get more attention as the spring evaluation period continues to progress.
Five star class of 18 defensive back Derrik Allen received his 19th offer from the NC State Wolf Pack.
Lecitus Smith from Fitzgerald was offered by Tulane on the 6th. The 2017 TE is 6’4″ and starting to receive FBS interest outside of New Orleans. Cincinnati, Virginia Tech and Western Kentucky have also offered in the last month. FILM
