Daily Dawg Thread: Xavian Sorey, 2021 Outside Linebacker

Sorey has a top group that includes Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, and LSU. Some feel his recruitment could come down to Alabama and Georgia, while others in Sorey’s circle feel this will be a Georgia vs Florida battle. So while Georgia might not be known as the outright leader, being thought of as being in the top two regardless solidifies the Dawgs’ position. The most recent intel suggests the Dawgs have some momentum in his recruitment. Sorey’s versatility would allow him to play inside or outside in Georgia’s 3-4 scheme, a highly-valuable skillset as the Dawgs have a major need at both linebacker positions this cycle. Sorey has not mentioned a decision timeline, stating he will commit when he knows the place that will best develop him for the next level. He is coming off a visit to Georgia.247Sports

Xavian does a little bit of everything for the Tigers out of Graceville, Florida lining up at running back on offense and linebacker and safety on defense. He also competes in varsity high school basketball.

247Sports along with ESPN and Rivals all rate Xavian a four-star athlete for the 2021 recruiting class.

Xavian Sorey Jr Highlights!!

Above-average height as a linebacker with strong upper body that still is filling out and is far from maxed out. Length drives his range on defense, particularly in pass coverage. Has natural soft hands with the ability to track and make plays on the football in coverage. Makes one-handed catches and plays downfield regularly. Showcases explosiveness on the basketball court and plays well above the rim. Has versatility on the football field and is used as a running back, fullback, tight end, and rover. Shows natural body control. More smooth than sudden. Plays fast but under control. Is not a violent tackler. Makes most of his plays defensively on the perimeter and doesn’t show a lot of downhill tackling. Has versatility to be an inside or outside linebacker. Size lends to inside. Not as rare physically as an edge defender. Needs to showcase that he has the demeanor necessary to be dominant at linebacker and inside the tackle box but has the traits necessary to be an elite modern linebacker. Likely impact Power 5 prospect with early-round NFL Draft potential.Barton Simmons, 247Sports
