4-star OL Elijah Prichett names UGA, Bama to top schools

Four-star OL Elijah Prichett plays football for Carver High School and is the top-ranked prospect in Georgia that remains uncommitted

The University of Georgia has offered a scholarship to football recruit Elijah Pritchett in Oct. 2020. Now, Georgia is among Pritchett’s top four schools.

Pritchett is a member of the class of 2022 and plays offensive tackle. He has great size at 6 feet, 6 inches and weighs 280 pounds. Pritchett is the top-ranked high school senior in Georgia that remains uncommitted.

Pritchett plays high school football for George Washington Carver High School in Columbus, Georgia. Pritchett is ranked as a four-star recruit and the No. 9 offensive tackle in the class of 2022.

Kirby Smart and the Dawgs will look to keep the talented in-state lineman in The Peach State.  Pritchett, who has committed to the 2022 All-American Bowl, is rated as the No. 8 recruit in the state of Georgia. The Bulldogs do not like to miss on elite in-state prospects.

The four-star offensive tackle announced his top four schools of Georgia, Alabama, FSU, and USC via Twitter:

Best of luck to Pritchett wherever he ends up playing college football. We’ll provide updates throughout his recruitment. He’s a key in-state player to watch in the class of 2022.

Georgia and Alabama are fighting to have the top-rated recruiting class in the SEC as usual. Nationally, UGA has the fifth-ranked class and Alabama has the fourth-ranked class.

Highlights of 5-star UGA commit Gunner Stockton

Five-star Rabun County High School quarterback Gunner Stockton has committed to the Georgia Bulldogs and has incredible highlights.

The Georgia Bulldogs football program landed a commitment from another five-star quarterback, Gunner Stockton. Stockton, a member of the class of 2022, is ranked the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in his class. His highlights are certainly worthy of his impressive ranking.

Stockton plays football for Rabun County High School in Tiger, Georgia. He was originally committed to South Carolina, but backed off his commitment after the Gamecocks fired Will Muschamp and Mike Bobo left for Auburn.

On tape, Stockton is elusive in the pocket, shows off a powerful arm, and has good ball placement. The five-star prospect has good athleticism and speed as well. He’s got a good, quick release and often finds space for his receivers in the back of the end zone.

Gunner Stockton still has another season of high school to improve. He is adept in the read-option game and a threat to take it the distance at the high school level. His biggest weakness is his height at 6-foot-1, but he makes up for it by varying his positions in and outside of the pocket.

The Rabun County quarterback uses fakes to deceive the defense. Although he has a powerful arm, Stockton often puts air under the ball to give his receivers a better chance to catch the football.
