Buford DB Jake Pope commits to Alabama over UGA

Buford High School safety Jake Pope, who is ranked as a four-star recruit, has decided he will play college football at Bama

Buford High School safety Jake Pope has commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Pope is ranked as a four-star recruit.

Jake Pope announced his decision ahead of Buford’s opening game against North Cobb. Pope committed to  Alabama over Georgia, UNC, Ohio State, and Notre Dame.

Jake Pope is a member of the class of 2022 and received numerous scholarship offers from top college programs.

Pope plays wide receiver and safety. He’s ranked as the No. 26 safety in the class of 2022, but has received more recruiting interest than what this ranking would indicate.

The four-star is 6 feet, 2 inches and weighs 190 pounds. He plays against some of the strongest competition possible at the high school level and won a 6A state championship in 2020 with Buford. Jake Pope was named all-region for his efforts in 2020.

Jake Pope is a versatile athlete and a good route runner. He is an impressive tackler in the open field and made critical plays to help Buford win a state championship. Alabama and Nick Sabab love players who excel in the clutch.

Kirby Smart and the University of Georgia could have used a talented safety like Jake Pope. Georgia could lose both of its starting safeties (Lewis Cine and Christopher Smith) next offseason. Now, it is back to the drawing board for UGA.

Four-star safety Jake Pope commits to Alabama

Alabama lands four-star safety Jake Pope!

Alabama has landed another talented prospect for the 2022 recruiting class in four-star safety Jake Pope from Buford, GA.

Pope’s commitment was announced earlier this afternoon via Hayes Fawcett of On3 Recruits.

 

Pope is a talented safety who also displays the ability to play on the offensive side of the ball as well. Standing at 6-foot-1, and 190 pounds, Pope has the frame to add weight once he enters a college training program. Perhaps his greatest trait is his natural instincts for the game which allows him to make winning plays against some of the most talented players.

Alabama now has a total of fourteen commits for the class of 2022 and is ranked fourth nationally according to the 247 Composite Rankings.

Ohio State in top five for Georgia safety set to announce soon

Tracking another defensive back that could end up in scarlet and gray …

Ohio State has made the final cut for a highly sought safety from the state of Georgia. Jake Pope took his official visit to OSU on June 18, and the Buckeyes are squarely in play for the three-star prospect.

Beyond Ohio State, Pope’s list includes Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Notre Dame. Most notably not making the cut… Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines, who were originally in the safety’s top eight.

Pope made his announcement via his personal Twitter account, and I have to say, the kid looks good in scarlet and gray. At this point, 247Sports has Pope crystal balled to South Bend, however, the confidence level isn’t super high.

Anything can happen when you’re dealing with 17- and 18-year-olds, and it looks like we’ll know this young man’s intentions soon. Adding another quality defensive back would be a nice addition for Kerry Coombs and company.

Ohio State in top eight for Georgia safety

Jake Pope attended the same high school as current Ohio State offensive lineman Harry Miller and has the Buckeyes in his sights.

The Ohio State football team has been named yet another finalist in a trimmed list for a top recruit. The top safety out of the state of Georgia, Jake Pope, made it known that he has a strong interest in eight teams which includes the Buckeyes.

Pope is an all-around athlete and says that he is being recruited as such more than just at the safety position. He hails from Buford, Georgia, and helped lead his Buford High School to a Georgia 6A state championship in 2020 as a junior. Buford is the same high school where current Ohio State offensive lineman Harry Miller attended.

Although Pope is currently rated as a three-star prospect according to 247 Sports composite rankings, he is garnering attention from all the big boys. Outside of Ohio State, Pope’s list includes Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma.

Pope looks to be somewhat underrated according to the attention he’s receiving and we wouldn’t be surprised to see that ranking go up over the next year. When you have that many blue-bloods interested in your services, chances are, you’re pretty good.

While there are no crystal ball predictions at the moment, we’ll keep an eye on how things develop with this young man and his recruitment.

Georgia ‘22 athlete has Notre Dame in trimmed down group

Another potential Georgian likes the Irish in the 2022 class

It may seem as if the mid-December early signing period is fairly far away, but in the recruiting world, there really is no specific time frame. Players are on their own individual timelines, choosing when and who to commit to when they feel the time is right.

In the case of Georgia athlete Jake Pope, now was the time to narrow his group of schools and focus in on a top 8 set of potential destinations.

The class of 2022 athlete most likely will end up as a safety when he arrives on a collegiate campus, and whichever one Pope will be attending, will be a very good one football choice.

His final group consists of Alabama, Ohio State, and Oklahoma, each the king of their respective conference, along with Auburn, North Carolina, Michigan and Georgia. The Irish have their work cut out for them, but if they get an ever coveted official visit from Pope, they’re squarely in the mix.

Time will tell if they get to host the Georgian, but the recent success by Brian Kelly and his staff in the state means we shouldn’t rule it out. Who knows when Pope will decide that next step in his recruitment, but what we do know is the Irish have a chance to get at another impressive Peach State star.
