4-star TE Moliki Matavao has made his college decision

4-star TE Moliki Matavao, a Georgia football recruiting target, has made his college decision.

Georgia misses out on 4-star tight end Moliki Matavao…

On Monday, 4-star 2021 tight end Moliki Matavao (Henderson, Nevada) released a top-four of Georgia, Oregon, Penn State and UCLA.

On Wednesday night, Matavao put an end to his recruitment and announced that he will be attending Oregon.

He ranks as the nation’s No. 151 overall player, No. 4 tight end and as the top player in Nevada.

The Liberty High School prospect holds 30+ scholarship offers and had been predicted to sign with Oregon for a little while now, according to 247Sports’ Crystal Ball.

Georgia put up a good fight for Matavao, but in the end the 6-foot-6, 240-pound prospect likely wanted to remain closer to home.

As for Georgia and the tight end position, the Bulldogs are still heavily recruiting 4-star Brock Bowers out of Napa, California. At 6-foot-3, he is the nation’s No. 51 overall player according to 247Sports.

It’s not all bad news for Georgia on the recruiting trail, though. On Tuesday, the Dawgs picked up a commitment from 4-star outside linebacker Chaz Chambliss. Then on Wednesday night, just a few hours before Matavao’s announcement, Georgia received its first 2022 commitment from 4-star cornerback Marquis Groves-Killebrew.

Georgia currently has eight commits in the class of 2021 and has the nation’s No. 16 ranked class.

Georgia, Alabama miss out on 5-star linebacker

Georgia football, Alabama and a few other SEC schools missed out on a commitment from 5-sta LB Noah Sewell.

Georgia, Alabama and a few other SEC contenders missed out on securing a commitment from a five-star linebacker on Friday night from the class of 2020.

Noah Sewell, the nation’s No. 2 inside linebacker out of Orem, Utah, tweeted his commitment to Oregon after winning the Utah 5A state title game on Friday.

Sewell, a 6-2 266 pound linebacker, is a monster of a player who is too small for the defensive tackle position but too big for a defensive back. Once he slims down a bit and adds some more speed, he will be a huge difference maker for Oregon for years.

Sewell comes from a football family. He has three brothers who currently play college football; one is an offensive tackle at Oregon, one is a linebacker at Nevada and the other plays safety at Utah.

Sewell visited Georgia on September 21st for the Bulldogs’ game vs Notre Dame.
