Spring is right around the corner, and in fact, spring break is here. However, the University of Georgia’s new coaching staff isn’t taking any breaks and has made two new offers to class of 2017 prospects Jonathan Gavin and Marco Wilson.
Both offers came at the first of the week on Monday, March 7th, and both are to defensive players from the state of Florida.
Jonathan Gavin is a 6 foot 4 and 220 lbs defensive end / outside linebacker prospect out of Oxbridge Academy. As a junior last year, Gavin had 93 tackles as well as six forced fumbles and five quarterback sacks for the Trojans out of Lake Worth, Florida. After his junior high school football season, he transferred to Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida where he plans to play his senior season for the ThunderWolves. Gavin was named to the 2015 Palm Beach Post All-Area First Team defense, and he won the Defensive Line MVP at The Opening Miami Regional held on March 6th at American Heritage High School.

247Sports.com ranks Gavin as a 4-star prospect at strong side defensive end and 24th SDE in the nation. He currently has offers from not only Georgia but also Florida AtlanticIowas State, North Carolina, N.C. State, UCF, Virginia Tech and Western Michigan.
Gavin was not the only offer to go out from Georgia this week, as they also offered Marco Wilson, a 5 foot 10 and 175 lbs cornerback out of American Heritage High School from Plantation, Florida. Wilson is coming off a knee injury that sidelined him during his junior season last year, but the talented and athletic defensive back is primed and ready for defining senior season.
