Buford speedster Jordan Allen visiting Georgia football this weekend

Class of 2025 wide receiver recruit Jordan Allen. Allen plays high school football for Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. Buford is one of the top high school programs in Georgia, so Allen competes against top notch competition.

In addition to football, Jordan Allen also runs track at a high level. The 5-foot-8, 170-pound wide receiver has run a 10.9 second time in the 100-meter event.

The speedster ranks as a three-star recruit. Allen is considered the No. 689 recruit in the country, the No. 116 wide receiver and the No. 70 player in Georgia.

Kirby Smart and Georgia have five total commitments in the class of 2025. One of Georgia’s 2025 commitments, five-star linebacker Jadon Perlotte, is a high school teammates with Jordan Allen. Georgia offered Allen back in June 2023.

The elite 2025 receiver is a good student. Allen has recently visited NC State. He also has visits scheduled with Indiana and Tennessee.

The Buford star announced his plans to visit Georgia football via social media:

Georgia currently has the nation’s No. 15 recruiting class.

 

2023 LSU Tigers Snapshot Profile: No. 28 Major Burns

Major Burns has been a part-time starter the last two seasons, but he could lock down a safety job this fall.

Going into the 2023 football season, LSU Wire will be looking at each player listed on the Tigers’ roster.

Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Brian Kelly this season.

LSU has a lot of new faces in the secondary, but we’re taking a look at one of its returning players in [autotag]Major Burns[/autotag]. The former Georgia transfer will comprise one-half of a veteran safety duo that should be a strength for LSU this fall.

Depth Chart Overview

Burns is a former top-200 recruit who returned to The Boot after his true freshman season at Georgia didn’t exactly go as planned. He appeared in six games but made just five tackles during a shortened 2020 season, and he decided to transfer to LSU following its conclusion.

Though he only saw playing time in five games in 2021 with the Tigers, he had a much bigger role. He received starting reps at safety and finished the year with 25 tackles, two pass breakups and an interception.

In 2022, he made five starts in nine appearances. He started the first three games before he was sidelined with an injury and ultimately split starting reps down the stretch with Joe Foucha. Entering 2023, Burns should have a starting job locked down but could be pushed by players like [autotag]Jordan Allen[/autotag] and [autotag]Matthew Langlois[/autotag] or a true freshman.

Depth Chart Overview

The Lafayette native played his high school ball for former LSU linebacker [autotag]Trev Faulk[/autotag], and the three-star recruit was rated as the No. 434 overall prospect in the 2022 recruiting class. A one-time Penn State commit, he ultimately chose to stay close to home and sign with the Tigers.

He appeared in four games as a true freshman both on special teams and in the secondary, with most of those appearances coming earlier in the year. He also played in the Citrus Bowl win over Purdue, registering a season-high 23 snaps. He had one tackle in that game and one in the win over Southern.

While he will have to compete with several incoming defensive back signees, he could earn a backup safety role while seeing an expanded position in the special teams unit.

Georgia football offers Buford WR Jordan Allen

Georgia football has offered a scholarship to Buford speedster Jordan Allen.

The Georgia Bulldogs have extended a scholarship offer to class of 2025 recruit Jordan Allen. Allen plays high school football for Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. Buford is one of the top high school programs in Georgia, so Allen competes against top notch competition.

In addition to football, Jordan Allen also runs track at a high level. The 5-foot-8, 170-pound wide receiver has run a 10.9 second time in the 100-meter event.

Kirby Smart and Georgia have four commitments from five-star recruits in the class of 2025. One of Georgia’s 2025 commitments, five-star linebacker Jadon Perlotte, is a high school teammates with Jordan Allen.

Jordan Allen is currently an unranked recruit. That’s bound to change soon. The 2025 receiver has recent scholarship offers from Middle Tennessee, Connecticut, UCF, and NC State.

Here’s a look at one of Allen’s recent track meets:

The Buford star was excited to announce his scholarship offer from Georgia football via Twitter:

Elite Louisiana prospect opens up committment

Ju’Juan Johnson has reopened his recruitment after the former Colorado commit took a visit to Boulder.

One of LSU’s top targets has reopened his commitment.

Four-star DB [autotag]Ju’Juan Johnson[/autotag] decommitted from Colorado following a visit over the weekend.

According to the 247Sports Composite, Johnson is the sixth-best prospect in Louisiana’s 2024 class. From Lafayette, Johnson has earned offers from many of the country’s top programs.

LSU was in hot pursuit before Johnson committed to Deion Sanders at Colorado. With the recruitment back open, LSU could hop right back in the race.

We’ve seen several LSU recruiting battles play out in a similar way before. A top prospect commits to go out of state before flipping to stay home later in the cycle.

[autotag]Ja’Marr Chase[/autotag] is one example. More recently, we saw it with QB [autotag]Rickie Collins[/autotag] last year.

LSU has a strong connection with Johnson’s high school, Lafayette Christian Academy.

LCA’s head coach is [autotag]Trev Faulk[/autotag], a former LSU linebacker and cousin of LSU legend [autotag]Kevin Faulk[/autotag].

Current Tigers [autotag]Sage Ryan[/autotag], [autotag]Jordan Allen[/autotag] and [autotag]Fitzgerald West[/autotag] were all LCA prospects.

It’ll take some time to get a feel for where LSU stands with Johnson, but the Tigers have as good a chance as anyone to keep the blue-chip prospect at home.

Soon-to-commit 4-star athlete from Louisiana has new favorite

A late contender has emerged as the favorite to land Johnson.

Prime time has come knocking for [autotag]Ju’Juan Johnson[/autotag], and for the first time (that I can remember) in his recruiting process, Colorado is projected as a 97% favorite to land the four-star athlete.

Johnson will be committing on Saturday at noon CT, and it appears that it will take a miracle for LSU to keep him home, but stranger things have happened. If there is anyone who can flip him, it’s [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag].

Kelly landed two players from Lafayette Christian Academy in the class of 2022, [autotag]Jordan Allen[/autotag] and [autotag]Fitzgerald West[/autotag]. Since coach Deion Sanders got the job at Colorado, he has been going crazy on the recruiting trail.

Sanders brought Colorado their highest-ranked recruiting class since 2008. For the second straight year, he landed the No. 1 cornerback in that year’s recruiting class (Travis Hunter and Cormani McClain). There is still a lot of time before the 2024 national signing day, but all signs are pointing toward Boulder, Colorado.

Oklahoma Sooners offer 2023 Kansas State commit, tight end Jordan Allen

Oklahoma looks to add another tight end to their class by offering 2023 three-star Jordan Allen. From @thatmanbryant

Even in the midst of the season, Oklahoma is still firmly devoted to finding new members for its 2023 class. Brent Venables made it known when he was first hired that he plans to use every scholarship possible to fill out his recruiting classes with high school talent before using the transfer portal.

Oklahoma continues to look to finish its 2023 class off as strong as possible and has sent out a flurry of offers late to a few players, some of which are committed elsewhere. One of those offers went to three-star Jordan Allen out of Olathe South High School in Olathe, Kansas.

Allen is committed to the Kansas State Wildcats but was offered by Jeff Lebby. Allen is listed as an EDGE On 247Sports but plays tight end as well. With his offer coming from offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby, it’s a safe assumption the Sooners want him at tight end.

With the commitment of Malachi Coleman to Nebraska, the Sooners needed to look elsewhere.

At 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, Allen has all the size you could want at the position. With three-star Kade McIntyre as the lone tight-end commit for 2023, it makes sense the Sooners would like to have another. Oklahoma has Kaden Helms and Jason Llewelyn as their only tight ends on the depth chart heading into next year, with Brayden Willis and Daniel Parker both set to depart at the end of the season.

Remaining 2023 Iowa Hawkeyes recruiting targets

Now that Iowa’s 2023 class has grown to 17 commits, who else is still on the Hawkeyes’ radar?

With the commitment from three-star defensive back Kahlil Tate, Iowa’s 2023 recruiting class is now up to 17 pledges overall. Tate joined fellow defensive back commits John Nestor and Zach Lutmer in the Hawkeyes’ 2023 class.

Rivals ranks Tate as the nation’s No. 31 safety and the No. 8 prospect from Illinois. Meanwhile, On3 ranks Tate as the No. 69 safety and the No. 13 player from Illinois.

247Sports lists Tate as the country’s No. 69 athlete and the No. 12 recruit from Illinois. Lastly, ESPN ranks Tate as the No. 71 cornerback and the No. 14 player from Illinois.

According to Rivals, Iowa now has the nation’s No. 15 class in its 2023 team rankings. Meanwhile, 247Sports ranks Iowa’s class No. 19 nationally, On3 rates it as the country’s No. 21 class and ESPN lists the Hawkeyes’ haul as No. 24 currently.

Who else might be joining Iowa’s class before it’s all said and done? Let’s take a look below at some of the Hawkeyes’ key remaining targets.

3-star EDGE Jordan Allen trims list to four schools, Iowa Hawkeyes right in the thick of it

Three-star EDGE Jordan Allen trimmed his list of schools to four and Iowa remains. The Hawkeyes join Missouri, Kansas State and Iowa State.

One of Iowa’s top remaining defensive targets in the 2023 class narrowed his list of schools to four and the Hawkeyes are still right in the thick of his recruitment.

Three-star EDGE and defensive end Jordan Allen out of Olathe South High School in Olathe, Kan., revealed on July 4 that Iowa made the cut for his final four alongside Missouri, Kansas State and Iowa State.

Allen took part in Iowa’s big recruiting weekend recently, taking an official visit to the Hawkeyes on June 24. Now, the 6-foot-4, 240 pound EDGE will decide between the Hawkeyes, Tigers, Wildcats and Cyclones in the coming weeks.

According to Rivals, Allen is the nation’s No. 46 weak side defensive end and the No. 6 player from the Sunflower State in the 2023 class. On3 lists Allen as the No. 62 EDGE in the 2023 class and the No. 7 player from Kansas. Lastly, 247Sports ranks Allen as the No. 74 EDGE and the No. 11 player from Kansas.

Allen is also a three-star prospect in both the On3 consensus rankings and the 247Sports composite rankings. On3’s consensus rates Allen as the nation’s No. 864 player overall, the No. 69 EDGE and the No. 8 player from Kansas, while 247Sports’ composite rankings place Allen as the No. 871 player nationally, the No. 73 EDGE and the No. 8 player from Kansas.

Allen earned his offer from the Hawkeyes on April 16 when he visited during the spring. While he’s choosing between Iowa, Missouri, Kansas State and Iowa State, Allen also picked up Power Five offers from Illinois, Kansas, USC, Vanderbilt and Washington.

If Iowa does indeed win the recruiting battle here, Allen would join a defensive line class that currently features Chase Brackney of Cherry Creek High School (Colo.), Maddux Borcherding-Johnson of Norwalk High School (Iowa) and David Caulker of North High School (Iowa).

Here’s a look at Allen’s junior season Hudl tape from Olathe South High School, a look at his full recruiting profile and a glance at the Hawkeyes’ latest commit, tight end Zach Ortwerth.

Iowa Hawkeyes set for biggest recruiting weekend of the year headlined by big names

The Iowa Hawkeyes have their biggest recruiting weekend of the year as they welcome 22 potential 2023 recruits to campus. Here’s the guests.

This Friday to Sunday will be the biggest and arguably most important recruiting weekend for the Hawkeyes this year. They are welcoming 22 potential recruits to campus that are part of the 2023 class. Of the 22 visiting, nine are committed to the Hawkeyes and 13 still have yet to decide where they will call home next fall.

The group is headlined by five-star tackle Kadyn Proctor, who is rated No. 10 nationally in the 247Sports composite rankings. He has narrowed his recruitment down to Iowa and the Alabama Crimson Tide. This weekend could play a big factor into his decision.

Another important visitor is quarterback commit Marco Lainez III. His presence could be very beneficial to those uncommitted and be a proponent for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa will have many others on campus as well. Let’s get familiar with the cohort descending upon Iowa City this weekend. Included is each recruit’s position, high school, 247Sports rating, and their measurables.
