Tuesday with Gorney: Commit, Flip, and Abolished Wild Weekend
From commitment to abolishing the flip, it was another wild weekend of the recruitment trajectory. Rival National Recruitment Director Adam Gorney We offer his thoughts on everything about Gorney today on Tuesday.
Johnson commits to North Carolina
one time North Carolina Offering Omari Johnson, the Tar Heels moved to the summit and committed over the weekend.
The connection is creepy, as Johnson said it was a dream to get an offer from a coach. Bill Belichick Because of his history, Johnson’s father is a huge fan of New England patriots. Wesson, Michigan, the four-star defensive back even went to Gillette Stadium to see the patriots active.
Louisville, Turrain Others were involved, but North Carolina surges to the top and once Belichick enters the mix for Johnson it’ll be hard to beat Tar Heels.
Wyman flips from Georgia to Miami
When John Tabios Wyman commits Georgia Last summer, the four-star defence from Jonesboro, Georgia laid out why the Bulldogs made so much sense. He is originally from Georgia, grew up watching Dawg and loves coaching and culture.
However, there have been rumours that in recent months, Georgia may have been a little late for him. Miami He stomped it mostly and he turned into a hurricane.
Wyman is an athletic, talented defensive back who can play incredible things, pick up passes and run at receivers. Georgia’s losses are Miami’s great profits here.
Has Notre Dame become a future star?
Ebenezer Ewetade has only been playing football for two years and is already one of the most impressive defensive final prospects in his class. Notre Dame He landed his commitment over the weekend, and it could be a big steal for the Irish as he will be coached over the next few years.
Garner (NC) South Garner’s four-star edge rush is currently 6 feet 4 pounds and 225 pounds, long, intense, athletic, and national recruit analysts with rivals over the past few days Adam Friedman I looked at Ewetade in person and loved his frame.
In the film, Ewetade has an incredible departure and can also beat off aggressive tackles both inside and outside. As he develops more physically and more with Notre Dame’s proud defense, these physical tools could make him truly special in this class.
USC adds more speed in the backfield
Deshonne Redeaux ran for over 1,200 yards with 17 touchdowns last season, essentially the entire rush attack for Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian, so his commitment USC The weekend was a big deal for the Trojans.
Not only is Redeaux pushing big numbers for third graders, but the four stars are very fast and give coaches Lincoln Riley Another weapon used in Trojan attacks. And a few months ago, his recruitment seemed to be heading in a different direction.
At that time, UCLA Although they were the team to beat Redeaux, USC was more involved and convinced that it was the right place, and the Trojans continued to load up the No. 1 recruitment class.
EPPS chooses Texas at schools in California
A few days ago, Taven Epps said TexasUSC and UCLA were his three front runners as the 2027 four-star linebacker in Tustin, California was visiting, but still felt early in his recruitment.
However, over the weekend, and just after visiting to see the Longhorn again, the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Epps made a pledge to Texas. This is a big thing, especially since he’s from Boyd, Texas and is just outside the DFW area.
EPPS started as safety, but grew so fast that he became a linebacker, perhaps even moving to edge rushers over time. He’s long and grows by the week, but he can still move. He has great athleticism, so this is another big win for the Longhorns early on.
Other thoughts
…Auburn landed something good In a four-star offensive tackle, Parker Pritchett can dominate at the line of scrimmage, but uses a lot of blocking to block at the second level, pull his powers and win.
… Javari Barnett only played in three games It was very impressive last season when the four-star running back was on the field, due to a knee injury. Illinois Taking his pledge over the weekend, Illini was able to have a speedster and workhouse in the backfield.
…2 months after committing SMUYahya Gaad I retreated that pledge. The 3-star defensive side from Medina (Tennessee) will make South Gibson a hot product on the trail Florida, Florida, Georgia And others were one of the top runners before their amazing pledge to the Mustang.
