NEWS & NOTES: Ford was offered by UGA back in February and then committed to Arkansas a month later in March. However, Ford then de-committed from the Razorbacks on June 10th, reopening up his recruitment. He visited UGA during the summer on July 15th and also visited Texas, Michigan, and Illinois during the month of July. Could Ford be the second TE the Bulldogs are looking to get a commitment from for the 2018 class?
I do think he is their No. 1 target left on the board at that position. Alabama has been the team to beat here since the summer, but the recent commitment of 2018 QB Justin Fields to the Bulldogs along with Alabama favoring JUCO prospect Dominick Wood-Anderson looks like it has turned things back to Georgia’s favor. College football is like a marathon roller coaster ride, and Ford’s recruitment is no exception.
He did visit the Crimson Tide on Oct. 14th, and then Ford was in Athens for the Bulldogs home game versus South Carolina on Nov. 4th and had a great visit by all accounts. This past weekend, Ford took an official visit to Texas on Nov. 11th, and he has another official visit scheduled to Auburn for Nov. 25th. That should leave the No. 1 player in the state of Illinois 3 more official visits he can take if he so chooses. Right now, Bulldawg Bob’s old Magic 8-Ball says there is a 90% chance that Luke Ford ends up committing to and signing with Georgia.

BRANDON SHELNUTT
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: TE, FB
HT, WT: 6 foot 4, and 230 lbs
SCHOOL: Archer High School
CITY, STATE: Lawrenceville, GA
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: N/A
# OFFERS: 7
NEWS & NOTES: Brandon Shelnutt is a beast of a run-blocking tight end out of Archer High School, and he could also potentially play at FB at the college level. His frame would allow him to add another 15 to 25 lbs to play at between 245-255 lbs without losing any agility, explosion, or speed. Shelnutt has 7 scholarship offers so far and Georgia has shown interest here but most likely as a walk-on or preferred walk-on offer. He has visited Georgia several times including the G-Day Spring Game back in April and a recent visit for the Bulldogs home game versus South Carolina on Nov. 4th.

NEWS & NOTES: Tremble is a legacy recruit, the son of former UGA defensive back Greg Tremble, and was ecstatic when Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs extended an offer to him back in the spring on the same day he visited on April 8th. He came back to Athens a couple of months later and attended Kirby Smart Football Camp on June 2nd. How much does Tremble like Georgia?
He put UGA in his top 6 schools he announced on July 4th. The Dogs were considered a leader after he was offered, but Notre Dame has made a big push and there is a high probability that the Irish land Tremble. Whether or not Tremble comes to UGA may hinge on where Ford commits to, which is very likely at the moment, but he still regards UGA highly. Tremble visited the Bulldogs for their homecoming game versus Missouri on October 14th, and then he visited Notre Dame a week later on Oct. 21st. The Wesleyan High School senior was back in Athens on Nov. 4th for Georgia’s game versus South Carolina.
Tremble will visit Notre Dame this weekend on Nov. 18th and then will also take an official visit to Michigan on Nov. 25th.
