UGA football in top group for 5-star RB

UGA football in top group for 5-star RB Richard Young

The Georgia Bulldogs have cracked Richard Young’s list of top schools. Young is the top-ranked running back recruit in the class of 2023.

Young plays for Lehigh Senior High School in Lehigh Acres, Florida. He is a five-star prospect with good size. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound running back is the No. 17 prospect in the class of 2023.

Young excels in the classroom in addition to being a standout for Lehigh Senior. He has to love the tradition of running backs at Georgia.

The elite running back has visited Florida, Clemson, Ohio State, FSU and Alabama this summer. He has scholarship offers from most of the top college football programs in the country.

Here’s a photo from Young’s visit to Athens this June:

Georgia football offers elite RB, son of former UGA star Verron Haynes

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to 4-star running back Justice Haynes, the son UGA standout of Verron Haynes.

The Georgia Bulldogs and head coach Kirby Smart have offered a scholarship to running back Justice Haynes. Haynes has received interest from some of college football’s elite programs despite being only a sophomore in high school.

Justice Haynes, the son of former Georgia Bulldog running back Verron Haynes, plays high school football for Blessed Trinity Catholic in Roswell, Georgia. Verron Haynes is famous in University of Georgia football lure for his last minute receiving touchdown in the Hobnail Boot game, which gave Mark Richt and UGA a huge win over Tennessee.

Justice Haynes has scholarship offers from Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi State, Miami, and more. He was spectacular as a freshman in high school and racked up 1,754 rushing yards along with 18 touchdowns. This helped Haynes be named to the Preseason All-State Georgia high school football team by Max Preps.

Justice Haynes already has committed to the 2023 Under Armour High School All-American Game. He’s a four-star recruit and one of the top running back recruits in his class (he currently holds the No. 4 ranking). Haynes will have a long time to decide where he wants to play college football.

Hayne’s father, Verron, ran for 738 yards over several seasons in Athens. Verron Haynes went on to win a Super Bowl with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL. Best of luck to Justice Haynes moving forward.
