TODAY’S FEATURED PROSPECTS
If position ranking is noted, it is 247 Sports latest composite ranking of the player.
TREY HILL
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: OL – No. 2 OG
HT, WT: 6 foot 3.25, and 346 lbs
SCHOOL: Houston County High School
CITY, STATE: Warner Robins, GA
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on 06/03/2016.
# OFFERS: 33
NEWS & NOTES: Hill visited Georgia on Junior Day back on 02/18/2017 and on G-Day 04/22/2017. The talented Houston County o-lineman participated in Nike The Opening Finals and did not disappoint. Of note, UGA is also recruiting Hill as a potential center. The Houston Co. big man visited Auburn twice over the summer and FSU has also made a big push for Hill recently, but I believe that Georgia still is the team to beat here. Hill was at Kearis Jackson’s family BBQ in Fort Valley, GA at Jackson’s commitment announcement on August 19th. Since football season started, Hill has visited Auburn on an unofficial on September 2nd and then Florida on September 16th. He is visiting UGA this weekend for the Mississippi State game.

JAMAREE SALYER
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: OL – No. 1 OG
HT, WT: 6 foot 4, and 342 lbs
SCHOOL: Pace Academy
CITY, STATE: Atlanta, GA
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on 05/07/2015
# OFFERS: 29
NEWS & NOTES: Salyer visited UGA back on G-Day on 04/22/2017. Like Hill, he participated in Nike The Opening Finals and showed why he was considered one of the top offensive linemen and guards in the country for 2018. A few weeks ago, I mentioned that it looked like it was a Georgia vs. Clemson battle for Salyer, and in an interview with Rivals that has been picked up by other media outlets like Fanbuzz.com, Salyer confirmed that his top two schools are UGA and Clemson. Salyer visited UGA for their season opener versus Appalachian State on September 2nd, and he has planned to announce his decision on December 20th. There are rumors that the talented Pace Academy big man will also visit this weekend for the Mississippi State game, but I have not been able to confirm that as of this time.

He was offered by UGA just a few weeks ago on September 8th. Thomas remains firmly committed to the Tigers as of right now, but it is a long ways till NSD 2019.

The University of Maryland has also offered Tchio.
