Georgia high school football player M.J. Morris was named the top quarterback prospect in the class of 2022 by Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network. Morris previously played football for Carrollton High School in Carrollton, Georgia.
Now, Morris is transferring to Pace Academy. Pace Academy is known for producing some elite high school talent including Andrew Thomas and Jamaree Salyer, both of whom were renowned recruits. The duo also ended up attending the University of Georgia.
The previous time the nation’s top high school quarterback played in the state Georgia it was Trevor Lawrence and/or Justin Fields in the class of 2018. Both players played high school football in the Peach State, but scouting services were split on which one was the top prospect.
Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs already have a commitment from Brock Vandagriff, an in-state quarterback, who has a shot to be the top quarterback recruit of the class of 2021. Most recruiting services rate Vandagriff as a top five quarterback in his respective class.
It’s still early to evaluate the class of 2022. Members of the class of 2022 are only rising juniors and many of them have only played one year of varsity football.
Will Morris consider attending the University of Georgia if Brock Vandagriff stays true to his commitment? Morris would be in a battle to earn playing time. Kirby Smart and the Georgia offense are embracing competition at the quarterback position.
