UGA, Bama offer scholarship to 4-star athlete in same week

The Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide have both offered scholarships to elite high school football recruiting Shemar James. James is a four-star athlete, who plays football for Faith Academy in Mobile, Alabama.

Shemar James is a member of the class of 2022, so he’s a junior in high school. James is six-foot-three and weighs 200 pounds.

The Faith Academy athlete plays primarily wide receiver and defensive end. His team tries to get him the ball in space anyway they can, so sometimes he lines up in the backfield. It is rare to see a wide receiver who plays defensive end, but James has the size to do it at the high school level.

Shemar James projects to be a possession receiver at the college level. He can track the ball well and ripped off some explosive plays after the catch last season. James additionally has the capability to be a great blocking wide receiver. Both Kirby Smart and Nick Saban love wide receivers who are willing to get in the mix and block.

James received offers from both Georgia and Alabama to cap off a big week for him. The Bulldogs and Crimson Tide are always among the best recruiting programs in all of college football. Congratulations to the young man.

Shermar James announced his scholarship offer from the University of Georgia via his Twitter account:
