UGA football offers scholarship to huge offensive tackle

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to Pike Road High School offensive tackle prospect Vysen Lang.

Lang is a member of the class of 2023. He plays high school football for Pike Road High School in Alabama.

He’s received scholarship offers from Tennessee, Georgia Tech, and South Carolina. Now, Kirby Smart and the University of Georgia join this short list. Expect Lang’s list of offers to grow immensely over the next few years.

Lang flashes some coveted traits on film in addition to his massive size. The Pick Road lineman is six-foot-five and weighs 330 pounds.

Can Georgia football continue their biggest advantage over Tech?

The Georgia Bulldogs and Kirby Smart have been dominating the Georgia Tech in the recruiting. Can Geoff Collins flip the script?

The Georgia Bulldogs and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have a rivalry that goes deeper than what happens on the football field. The Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets battle throughout the year for talented recruits in the state of Georgia. UGA fans know the Dawgs has dominated in-state recruiting since Kirby Smart took over, but is one of their best advantages, a lack of legitimate in-state recruiting competition fading away?

The last time Georgia Tech landed a top twenty-five recruiting class was in 2007! Back in 2007, the Yellow Jackets recruited several NFL players: OLB Derrick Morgan, S Morgan Burnett, and RB Jonathan Dwyer. Georgia Tech struggled mightily in recruiting, largely thanks to the triple option system, which no defender want to practice against and no NFL offense runs.

Now, under first year head coach Geoff Collins, the Yellow Jackets have the 25th best class of 2020. The results on the field haven’t been pretty, but Georgia Tech is poised to improve. Everybody knew switching systems is more than a one year process.

Enter the Georgia Bulldogs, who have been dominating recruiting in the state of Georgia. Kirby Smart has Georgia competing with the elite programs across the country in recruiting and on the field. UGA’s previous recruiting class to be ranked below tenth was all the way back in 2013. Let’s be honest, Georgia’s biggest recruiting competition comes from the SEC. That being said, Georgia Tech isn’t going to be a pushover moving forward.

Georgia’s class of 2020 is ranked fifth in the country. The Bulldogs can send a message to recruits with another big-win over the Yellow Jackets this Saturday. As for now, Georgia Tech seems to be trending in the right direction. Will they be able to improve in their second year under Geoff Collins? Lots of second year coaches struggled to make the leap this past season. He’s not going to make the National Championship game like Kirby Smart did in his second season in Athens.
