CLAY WEBB

"Clay Webb is a monster. He is most definitely one of the most skilled blockers in the country. We need to have him at Georgia. I think he leaves the state. I think he just visits Clemson and Georgia, but of course, Alabama has a shot."

JERMAINE BURTON

"Jermaine Burton is going to be an incredible wide receiver. I remember our first game. He was a sophomore at IMG, which you do not expect them to get that much playing time at IMG. He got some snaps, and they threw him the ball one time and I was like 'oh hell no way he makes that catch.' Then that boy went up and literally grabbed it over the other person. Then the sideline went nuts. Ever since then, he has worked so hard and he is never content with where he is. I love him from that standpoint and I want to play with him in college."

NAKOBE DEAN

"Nakobe Dean is a beast at inside linebacker. That is one of Coach Schumann's guys. I love spending time with them together because Dean is hilarious. We were playing foosball together, he was just making so many jokes about how bad we were. Then he got on and he was worse than us, it was the funniest thing ever. I hope to see him in Athens again. Getting him would be big for Georgia. We have been beating Alabama for top prospects lately, in my opinion, so it would not be a surprise to see it happen again. But you can never count Alabama out of anything."

RB Trey Sanders, IMG Academy (Fla.)

Height: 6-foot
Weight: 216
National Ranking: 15
Position Ranking: 1
State Ranking: 2

The Sanders to Texas train picked up some steam this summer when Sanders made his way to Austin for an unofficial visit. Sanders really clicked with Texas running backs coach Stan Drayton, who sold him on his resume of developing running backs like Ezekiel Elliott and Carlos Hyde and getting them to the next level. NFL development is a huge factor for Sanders and a reason Texas is very much in the picture here. Texas will likely receive an official visit in the fall as it continues to make headway in this recruitment. Still, Alabama will be tough to beat.

CB Jeffery Carter, Mansfield Legacy

Height: 6-foot
Weight: 180
National Ranking: 25
Position Ranking: 3
State Ranking: 3

Texas appeared to be out of the mix for Carter earlier in the process, but he recently included the Longhorns in his Top 4. If Texas makes a hard push in coming months, the Longhorns could soar in this recruitment. But there appears to be some question marks when it comes to this recruitment. Right now, Alabama and Texas A&M are at the top and are arguably making him a bigger priority. It should be noted that Carter is teammates with fellow UT targets Jalen Catalon and Taurean Carter.

DL Faatui Tuitele, Honolulu St. Louis (HI)

Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 299
National Ranking: 54
Position Ranking: 5
State Ranking: 2

As mentioned, Texas is making it a priority to find quality defensive linemen this recruiting cycle, and Tuitele is one of the Longhorns' top overall targets in the trenches. The four-star prospect made his way to Austin in the spring and recently named Texas in his final five. The Longhorns will get him back on campus for an official visit in the fall. It is imperative for them to hit a homerun as schools like Alabama and Ohio State seem to be in a better position at this time. Texas does have an X-factor in recruiting staffer Jake Langi, who has strong Polynesian ties.

Georgia assistant Dell McGee has the Bulldogs in the mix for several elite tailbacks in the 2019 cycle. At this time, it appears that Georgia has zeroed in on Trey Sanders (Port St. Joe, Fla./IMG Academy), Noah Cain (Denton, Texas/IMG Academy), John Emery Jr. (Destrehan, La./Destrehan), and Tyrion Davis (Baton Rouge, La./Southern Lab). While none have listed Georgia as a leader, it is clear that McGee has positioned himself well to land one of the highly coveted quartet. In fact, after spending a week with all four of the top targets, it would not be a surprise at all if Georgia stands No. 2 for all four of them. Alabama is the team to watch with Sanders, but some in Dallas felt Georgia is their top competition. If LSU has a strong season, it could be tough to beat with Cain. To a certain extent, the same goes for Texas, although Auburn is the team to keep an eye on there as well. Cain is going to let the upcoming season unfold and provide insight toward which program best suits him. Emery made it very clear that Georgia was the team pushing LSU and Mississippi State, respectively. A move needs to be made to land one of these talented backs, but don't count McGee out one bit.
