NEWS & NOTES: Jordan Davis is a big strong and talented defensive lineman out of the state of North Carolina who committed to UGA on Nov. 16, 2017. Davis did not sign during the early signing period in December and plans on signing his LOI on Feb. 7th. He’s raw, having only played football for a little over year, but he has a huge upside. Similar frame to current UGA sophomore D-lineman Julian Rochester. Was on an official visit to Georgia over the weekend on Jan. 12th

RICK SANDIDGE
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: DL – No. 10 DT
HT, WT: 6 foot 5, and 288 lbs
SCHOOL: Concord High School
CITY, STATE: Concord, NC
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on 01/19/2017.
# OFFERS: 23
NEWS & NOTES: Rick Sandidge was offered back last January by Georgia and included the Bulldogs in his top-11 schools on May 1st. UGA’s new D-line Coach Tray Scott recruited Sandidge when Scott was coaching the position group at UNC.
This has been a Bulldogs vs. Gamecocks battle for a while now. During the fall, Sandidge visited UNC on Sept. 9th and South Carolina on Sept. 16th, and he visited Columbia, SC again on Oct. 28th. Sandidge did take a visit to Athens on Nov. 4th for Georgia’s game versus the Gamecocks. He also took an official visit to Michigan on Nov. 25th. He is coming off an official visit to UGA over the weekend Jan. 12th, and right now, the only other officials Sandidge has scheduled is to UNC on Jan. 19th and South Carolina on Jan. 26th.
He’ll likely be announcing his decision and signing his LOI all on the same day on Feb. 7th, and at this point, it would be a pretty big surprise if Sandidge were to commit to and sign with another program outside of USCe or UGA.

MICHAEL THOMPSON, JR.
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: DL – No. 2 DT
HT, WT: 6 foot 3.5, and 291 lbs
SCHOOL: Parkway North High School
CITY, STATE: St. Louis, MO
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on 03/02/2017.
# OFFERS: 25
NEWS & NOTES: Georgia offered Michael Thompson back last spring in March and since then, there hasn’t been much news about Thompson and UGA… at least until the early signing period last month. Could the Bulldogs be in the running to pick up the Parkway North High School D-lineman?
That is the scuttlebutt on the street, but we will have to wait until Feb. 7th to find out; although, I do think Thompson is a long shot at this point. All his crystal ball predictions on 247Sports are to Missouri, and his most recent official visit was to the University of Missouri on Dec. 9th, which is at least his third trip to Columbia this fall.
The only other official that Thompson has taken that I know of is to Southern California on Nov. 18th, and he is scheduled to take an official visit to Oklahoma on Jan. 19th. Watch both Southern Cal and Oklahoma here even though a lot of predictions have Thompson staying home and going to Mizzou.

NEWS & NOTES: Rashad Cheney, Jr. committed to the Bulldogs back last February. He took an unofficial visit to UGA on Sept. 2nd for the Dog’s home opener versus the Mountaineers, and he has also visited South Carolina a couple of times during the fall along with a visit to the Florida Gators just before Christmas on Dec. 23rd. Although it is a long ways till NSD 2019, I wouldn’t be too concerned about Cheney’s other visits at the moment. He is a solid verbal to the Bulldogs.

TRAVON WALKER
CLASS: 2019
POSITION: DL – No. 3 DT
HT, WT: 6 foot 4.5, and 255 lbs
SCHOOL: Upson-Lee High School
CITY, STATE: Thomaston, GA
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Holds offer from UGA
# OFFERS: 11
NEWS & NOTES: Travon Walker is a talented junior Peach State D-lineman for Upson-Lee. He holds a scholarship offer from Georgia and is considered a heavy lean to the Bulldogs at the moment. Walker has visited Athens and UGA several times. He attended the Kirby Smart Football this past summer on June 2nd and then visited again in August. Walker also visited Georgia on Sept. 23rd for the Mississippi State game.
Until Walker adds more bulk to his frame, he will like start out as a SDE at the next level, but if he can add on 30 to 40 lbs, he’ll be a terror on the inside, in the middle of the d-line.
