Great size. Shitty offer list though.

I like the tall and lean WR's.
Kinda concerned because he is from Hoover. Hopefully he isn't one of those kids that's just reserving his spot while looking for a Bammer offer.

Pretty sure he spent most of year on JV last year. Expected to be a bigger player for them this season. He was a beast at our camp this summer

All the Buccaneers receivers are ours

The last time a player from Hoover flipped from Auburn to Bama was Josh Chapman from the class of 2007. And he was a lifelong Bama fan that committed to Auburn when Shula was there and flipped when they hired Saban, so you can't really blame him.
Not like we get that many players from Hoover anyway, but everyone since has been loyal. Ryan Pugh, Jaylon Denson, Shedrick Jackson... other than that there's only been a handful of walkons.
Besides, it's a myth that Hoover is "Bama run" or whatever. I went there. Outnumbered, sure. But not as much as you'd think. But people act like anything Auburn is discouraged and that's just ridiculous.

Darrell Williams is from Hoover and he basically begged for a Bama scholarship ( through AL.com) while committed to Auburn until close to the end of his recruitment. And even then, it was probably Muschamp that helped him be comfortable with his commitment.

So you're saying Hoover isn't a Bama hotbed?

George was never gonna go to Bama. He's basically my little brother, his older brother is one of my best friends in the whole world. George really just exploded onto the scene this summer for those wondering about his offer list. He's just scratching the surface of how good he will be
Auburn fans should be excited about this one because his ranking is gonna skyrocket over the next two years. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see him be top 5 at his position in his class when it's all said and done. Didn't play a ton of varsity ball at Hoover last year but will make a HUGE name for himself this season
Can't teach size and speed and George has got it. He did grow up a huge LSU fan so if they really start to press him that could make him think about it a little. But I think with Bo's nephew being there and his mom being a big fan of the auburn program and campus (also close to home) I think auburn will hold onto him.
Just a little inside insight for you guys. War Eagle

His older brother was recruited by Gus at ASU, so there is some history here as well. I don't think he'd be a flip candidate, but you never know these days.

Wouldn't be to Bama, MAYBE LSU, but I think he really loves it at auburn

Good to hear. Even better that he's teamed up with Shedrick Jackson. There are still "anywhere but Auburn" guys in that area so, like you said, you just never know.

Good size

Nice pickup.
He's raw and doesn't have a lot of varsity experience, but he has the potential to be a monster.
He and 2019 Vigor DE Desmond Little are in the same mold. Freak size and athleticism, but very little on the field time. They'll be fun to watch the next 2 years.

Do your job, Kerry Stevenson.

Went to Hoover. It's been great to both programs in the state so can't really complain as an AU fan considering its a 40 min drive to Ttown. I know the coaches at Hoover are expecting the next two years to be loaded.
