TYSON CAMPBELL
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: DB – No. 3 CB
HT, WT: 6 foot 2.5, and 181 lbs
SCHOOL: American Heritage High School
CITY, STATE: Plantation, FL
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on 10/31/2015.
# OFFERS: 22
NEWS & NOTES: Campbell is a phenomenal CB that the previous Bulldog coaching staff offered and the current staff has continued to recruit. He visited UGA over the summer on July 20th and also visited Clemson and Alabama to close out the month of July. His recruitment is wide open at the moment, but Georgia could have a shot here as the Dogs are in Campbell’s top five: Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Miami and Ohio State.
It looked like Georgia may have been leading for Campbell for a little while, but now, it looks like the pendulum has swung back over to Miami. Still, though, keep your eye on Campbell’s recruitment. The Hurricanes have five defensive backs currently committed including four CBs and a safety; so, will Miami take a sixth DB?

GILBERT FRIERSON
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: DB – No. 21 CB
HT, WT: 6 foot 1, and 185 lbs
SCHOOL: Coral Gables High School
CITY, STATE: Coral Gables, FL
STATUS: Committed to Miami since 02/23/2016
UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on 01/23/2016.

NEWS & NOTES: Gilbert Frierson was offered by UGA last year in January of 2016. He has been committed to the Hurricanes for over a year, but there have been rumors since spring that he is also a potential flip to Georgia. He visited UGA back on May 20th and was in Athens again for the weekend of July 15th. If Kirby Smart and company can pull off flipping Frierson to UGA, it would be a big pick up for the 2018 class for the Dogs. So is there any new news here?
Frierson was seen sporting some Georgia gloves and apparel during games and practices, but I don’t know if that means anything or not. He has also worn other program’s colors, and this is not uncommon for recruiting prospects. Outside of that, there has been no news or “smoke” about Frierson flipping to the Dogs; although, he did take an official visit to UGA for the Bulldogs final home game of the season versus Kentucky on Nov. 18th. Getting him back in Athens and on campus was big if the Georgia staff are to have a shot at flipping Frierson.

JAYCEE HORN
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: DB – No. 23 CB
HT, WT: 6 foot 0.5, and 170 lbs
SCHOOL: Alpharetta High School
CITY, STATE: Alpharetta, GA
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on 02/28/2017.
# OFFERS: 41
NEWS & NOTES: Jaycee Horn named South Carolina his leader back in May, but he ended up committing to the University of Tennessee on August 24th. However, he has since de-committed from the Volunteers on Sunday, Nov. 26th. Horn visited UGA on September 23rd for the Mississippi State game, and he has also visited Kentucky on Nov. 16th, South Carolina on Oct. 28th and again on Nov. 25th. So does Georgia have a shot here?
I think the potential for Horn to flip to another school after he committed to Tennessee was very likely. Now, that he has reopened up his recruitment, I would not be surprised to see Horn head to Columbia and South Carolina, who he originally named his leader at one point. Plus, he’s visited South Carolina several times this fall.

NADAB JOSEPH
CLASS: 2018
POSITION: DB – No. 24 CB
HT, WT: 6 foot 1.5, and 180 lbs
SCHOOL: Miami Norland High School
CITY, STATE: Miami, FL
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on 06/14/16.
# OFFERS: 22
NEWS & NOTES: Georgia offered Nadab in June last summer just a few days after he committed to LSU, but he de-committed from the Tigers right before the start of the 2017 football season on August 10th. So where do the Bulldogs stand for the Miami Norland defensive back?
On October 10th, Nadab listed UGA, Alabama, and LSU in his top 3. He has visited Bama a lot this past year, and the Crimson Tide should be considered the favorite here. Even though he de-committed from LSU, they are also still in his top 3. But don’t dismiss the Dogs’ recruiting momentum at the moment. Joseph took an official visit to Alabama a back on November 4th.
