The Georgia Bulldogs are heating up on the recruiting trail. Kirby Smart and company recently got a commitment from a three-star wide receiver in Jackson Meeks.
The University of Georgia has also offered a scholarship to Travious Lathan. Lathan is a member of the class of 2022, so he’s currently a junior in high school at Gulliver Prep in Miami, Florida.
Lathan is a four-star outside linebacker, who has already received recruiting interest from Miami, Florida, Florida State, Oregon, Michigan, and more. The Gulliver Prep star is a versatile athlete, who can play safety as well as outside linebacker. Modern defenses covet versatility and fluid athleticism as much as any traits nowadays.
Can Georgia pull yet another talented recruit away from the Sunshine State? The past several recruiting classes, the typical in-state powerhouses in Florida (Miami, FSU, and Florida) have all struggled to keep the state’s best talent from leaving. Georgia, Alabama, and Clemson are among the top out of state schools at recruiting Florida.
Lathan announced his scholarship offer via his Twitter account:
