Honorable Mention- Ladd McConkey

Although 247 claims he was a 3 star recruit, another article from the time period says he was a zero star recruit at the time of his offer.

About his offer...

16 days before signing day (Feb 2020), Ladd had zero scholarship offers from any P5 school. It was all Furman and the like. He and his HS coach had decided he would likely be signing with UT-Chattanooga. Then Georgia swooped in and offered him a full ride. This triggered some interest immediately, as Vandy decided to also make him an offer. This must also be where his supposed three stars come from on 247.

His HS coach said all the FCS schools started calling him and saying he'll never play at UGA, he'll never see the field, don't let him go there, it's a waste of his potential, he's too small for the SEC, etc. But his HS coach said no, he has faith in Ladd's ability to play at a high level. Ladd stuck with UGA.

And look at him now-

In 2021 he finished with 5 TD's receiving, and one TD on a jet sweep. Those didn't come against cupcakes in garbage time- it was against vandy/auburn/kentucky/mizzou/Alabama.

He has 447 yards on 31 catches for an average of 14.4 ypc.

He was #3 on the team in receiving, behind only Brock Bowers and Jermaine Burton, both of whom are on this years All-Sec First Team preseason poll.

The sky is the limit for this guy who nobody wanted out of high school.
