Is Georgia football still in it? Recruiting Director at Rivals makes Zach Evans prediction

Is Georgia football still in the mix for Zach Evans? Mike Farrell at Rivals thinks so.

Zach Evans, the 5-star running back out of North Shore High School in Houston, Texas, originally signed with Georgia but then later requested that the Bulldogs release him of his National Letter of Intent. Georgia did just that.

Evans, who may be the most talented player in the entire 2020 recruiting class, was supposed to announce his decision at the Under Armour game before backing out and delaying his recruitment.

Now, however, Georgia appears to be back in the fold for Evans.

Despite already signing with UGA and then being released from his NLI, some recruiting expert still think the superstar tailback will end up at Georgia when the dust settles.

Another name to keep an eye on is Broderick Jones, a 5-star offensive lineman who has been committed to Georgia for quite some time. He has not signed with the Dawgs, though, and Auburn has been making a strong push for the 6’6″ 300 pounder out of Lithonia, Georgia.

When asked to make a prediction on where these unsigned five-star players will go, Rivals.com’s National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell said he still thinks that both Evans and Jones will be heading to Georgia.

“Evans will end up at Georgia, Jones will also end up at Georgia.”

Evans is believed to be visiting Knoxville this weekend, according to Farrell. Ole Miss and Florida are in the mix as well.

At North Shore in Houston, Evans had another stellar season as a senior, rushing for 1,600 yards and 20 touchdowns on just 127 carries, with an average of 12.6 yards per carry. In 2018, when he was named MaxPreps’ National Junior of the Year, Evans tallied 1,785 rushing yards and 29 scores. His sophomore season,  Evans racked up 1,483 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns.

Georgia looks to add a 5-star to its 2020 class tonight

Georgia football will look to add a few five-star players this week in Kelee Ringo, Darnell Washington and Zach Evans.

Tonight at the Under Armour All-America Game, Georgia will look to add more talent its already top-five ranked 2020 recruiting class.

Originally, Georgia fans were expecting to hear two 5-star names pick the Dawgs, RB Zach Evans and TE Darnell Washington, however, there’s been a schedule change.

Evans, who many expect to choose UGA, will not be announcing tonight according to Craig Haubert.

But there’s still Darnell Washington, a 6’8″ athletic freak out of Las Vegas.

Washington ranks as the nation’s No. 10 overall player and is likely to pick up a Georgia hat tonight at halftime of the high school all-star game.

If Washington does indeed choose the Dawgs, he would be the third 5-star in the class.

As for Evans, his chaotic recruitment will continue and we will keep you updated on whatever we see on that front.

Kelee Ringo, a 5-star CB out of Arizona, is another big time player that Georgia is expected to land this week.

Ringo will announce at the Adidas All-American Bowl on January 4. He has already signed his letter of intent.
