NEWS:
Chris Hinton is a five-star defensive end from Norcross, Georgia. He’s 6-4 280 pounds. According to the latest 2019 247Sports Composite rankings, he ranks as the No. 23 overall prospect, the No. 2 SDE and the No. 5 prospect in Georgia. Hinton currently holds 23 offers with the latest coming from USC on May 19, 2017. Since then he visited Ohio State on July 22, 2017. Hinton committed to Michigan on August 5, 2017, and has been a Michigan lock since. He took visits to Michigan on March 17 for an unofficial visit. Hinton headed back for his official visit on June 22. However, his latest visit was to Georgia, which surprised even me. Hinton is likely a Michigan lock, but Georgia stays in constant contact with him and even though he has ties to the Wolverines, the Bulldogs could potentially flip him. I’ll eat crow because just a few weeks ago I never saw him in this class. In fact, I’ll happily eat crow if this type of talent ends up on Georgia’s front seven.
