LUKE DEAL
CLASS: 2019
POSITION: TE
HT, WT: 6 foot 5, and 230 lbs
SCHOOL: Emerald High School
CITY, STATE: Greenwood, SC
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Yes, UGA offered on Dec. 12th.
# OFFERS: 5
NEWS & NOTES: Georgia offered tight end Luke Deal on Dec. 12th. It was his second FBS offer, with NC State being the first program to offer Deal. Since then, Auburn, Coastal Carolina, and Rice have also offered Deal. The talented 6 foot 5, and 230 lbs junior also plays at DE for Emerald High and stepped in at QB in a couple of games. He also plays basketball for the Vikings.
Deal reminds me of current UGA commit, 2018 TE John Fitzpatrick out of Marist High School. Both have similar frames and are athletic for their size. Fitzpatrick may be a step faster than Deal. He is a ferocious blocker and does a really good job of getting out of stance and his hat and hands on a defender, often driving the defender down the field or to the ground on the play. As a receiver, he makes a lot of tough catches over the middle of the field, does a good job of catching the ball with his hands and not letting it go into his body.
Deal took an unoffical visit to UGA on Jan. 20th.

CLASS: 2019

SCHOOL: Kennesaw Mt. High School
CITY, STATE: Acworth, GA
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: Yes, UGA offered on 07/21/2016.
# OFFERS: 19
NEWS & NOTES: Ryland Goede has held an offer from the Bulldogs since July of 2016, and the Kennesaw Mountain TE has visited Georgia a number of times over the last year, including this fall for the Mississippi State game back on Sept. 23rd, UGA’s homecoming versus Missouri on Oct. 14th, and the Bulldogs’ game versus South Carolina on Nov. 4th.
He also visited Clemson and Auburn over the summer in June, and has been back to Auburn again a couple of times this fall on Nov. 11th and on Nov. 25th. Goede went up north to visit Michigan back on the weekend of Oct. 7th. One other school he visited during the fall was Florida on Nov. 18th. As of right now, Goede is a heavy Georgia lean, but NSD 2019 is a long way off. He just took another unofficial visit to UGA over the weekend on Jan. 27th.

JARIUS THOMAS
CLASS: 2019
POSITION: TE
HT, WT: 6 foot 3.5, and 225 lbs
SCHOOL: Carver High School
CITY, STATE: Columbus, GA
STATUS: Undeclared
UGA OFFER: No.
# OFFERS: 3
NEWS & NOTES: Jarius Thomas isn’t the biggest or tallest tight end prospect out there for 2019, but he had a solid junior season at Carver High School, reeling in 21 catches for 524 yards and 5 touchdowns in just 8 games. It will be interesting to see if his frame changes any between his junior year this year and his senior season this coming fall. If he can add 15 to 20 lbs and play at around 240 lbs without losing any athleticism or speed, I feel more schools will shoot offers his way.
Keep your eye Thomas. He’s a good football player as well as versatile. Thomas could also play a role as an H-back in the right offense or even full-back.

Right now, he is leaning towards a couple of the Sunshine State schools in the Gators and the Seminoles. Keon visited FSU back in the fall on Oct. 7th, and Clemson on Nov. 11th. He has taken a couple of unofficial visits to Florida and Miami over the past month.
