TODAY’S FEATURED PROSPECTS

If position ranking is noted, unless otherwise stated, it is 247 Sports latest composite ranking of the player.

 

TYSON CAMPBELL

CLASS: 2018

POSITION: DB – No. 2 CB

HT, WT: 6 foot 2.5, and 181 lbs

SCHOOL: American Heritage High School

CITY, STATE: Plantation, FL

STATUS: Undeclared

UGA OFFER: Yes, UGA offered on 10/31/2015.

# OFFERS: 22

NEWS & NOTES: Tyson Campbell is a phenomenal CB that has held an offer from the Bulldogs since October of 2015. His recruitment is wide open at the moment, but Georgia could have a shot here as the Dogs are in Campbell’s top five which also include Alabama, Clemson, Miami, and Ohio State.
 
So when will Campbell make his choice and announce his decision?
 
The American Heritage defensive back did not plan on signing during the early signing period on Dec. 20th-22nd and will likely announce his decision and sign his LOI on Feb. 7th, which is a week from Wednesday. Campbell played in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl just a few weeks ago on Jan. 6th and could have chosen to announce then, but did not.
 
Campbell took an official to Georgia on Jan. 12 and then took one at Alabama the following week on Jan. 19th. He’ll also took an official to Tennessee over the weekend on Jan. 26th, and Campbell is planning on taking his last official to Miami on Feb. 2nd. The fact that both Georgia and Alabama are both getting officials should be an indication that they are likely two of the top programs that Campbell is considering, and Miami is a strong contender; however, the Hurricanes have four defensive backs already signed in their 2018 recruiting class whereas Georgia and Alabama each have three.

LEON O’NEAL JR.

CLASS: 2018

POSITION: DB – No. 8 Safety

HT, WT: 6 foot 1.5, and 190 lbs

SCHOOL: Cypress Springs High School

CITY, STATE: Cypress, TX

STATUS: Undeclared

UGA OFFER: Yes, UGA offered on 02/16/2017.

# OFFERS: 34

NEWS & NOTES: The talented Leon O’Neal, Jr. has over 34 scholarship offers including one from Georgia, who offered the Cypress, Texas native last February. O’Neal had been committed to Texas A&M but de-committed from the Aggies on the 1st of December, re-opening up his recruitment.
 
Even though he did de-commit from A&M, the Aggies should still be considered a favorite here, and he took an official to College Station just 8 days after his de-commitment. Oklahoma could also be a potential landing spot, and the Bulldogs are also certainly a school to keep an eye since he took an official visit over the weekend on Jan. 26th. But it could come down to the number of spots that Georgia has left for 2018 prospects.

ISAAC TAYLOR-STUART

CLASS: 2018

POSITION: DB – No. 4 CB

HT, WT: 6 foot 1.5, and 193 lbs

SCHOOL: Helix High School

CITY, STATE: La Mesa, CA

STATUS: Undeclared.

UGA OFFER: Yes, UGA offered on 02/22/2017.

# OFFERS: 51

NEWS & NOTES: The Georgia coaching staff offered Isaac Taylor-Stuart back in February last year after National Signing Day, and the Helix High School prospect is one of the most sought-after CBs in the 2018 class with over 51 scholarship offers. A big reason why is his 6 foot 2 and 193 lbs frame as well as his speed, having been clocked at 4.25 in the forty unofficially (he has ran a 4.43, officially, in Nike The Opening) as well as his athleticism and ability to cover.
 
Isaac put UGA in his top 6 schools he released back on Dec. 9th along with Alabama, Oklahoma, Southern Cal, Tennessee, and Texas A&M. Southern Cal is considered a slight favorite here, and the Trojans got one of Taylor-Stuart’s official visits on Jan. 12th. However, watch Alabama, A&M and Tennessee late here.
 
He had an official planned at Georgia on Dec. 9th, but due to the inclement winter weather in the Atlanta-metro area, he had to cancel. Taylor-Stuart rescheduled his official visit with UGA for Jan. 26th but canceled that to visit Alabama instead. He has one more official visit scheduled to Tennessee on Feb. 2nd and at this time, no plans to reshedule his Georgia official.
