Ernest Jones
Linebacker
Ware County
After a solid junior season and a standout performance in the Rising Senior All-Star game, Jones was offered by many SEC schools. He would later commit to further his studies and play at the University of South Carolina. With his commitment behind him, he looks to lead the Gators’ stout defense this fall.
Randon Jernigan
Quarterback/Athlete
Glynn Academy
Randon Jernigan has been on our radar ever since he won our Middle School Player of the Year back in 2013. Now as a senior, he will be the starting quarterback for the Glynn Academy Red Terrors and will look to continue his playing career. Jernigan has offers from Appalachian State, Army and others.
Keshawn Morgan
Running Back
Toombs County
Morgan has flown under the radar throughout the first three years of high school, but looks to break out this fall. Last year, Morgan rushed for 1,679 yards and 21 touchdowns. He already has an offer from Georgia State and other schools are showing interest. I bet he won’t fly under the radar anymore.
Sharrod Frazier
Linebacker/safety
Brunswick
Frazier has been a beast for the Pirates in his high school career. Last year, Frazier recorded 91 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, and four turnovers. The outside linebacker, who also plays safety, has already received offers from Appalachian State and Tulane among others. Expect big things from the captain of the Pirate’s defense.
Sam James
Wide Receiver
Richmond Hill
James is a 6’2”, 160 pound receiver who just so happens to run a 4.28 second 40-yard dash. Last year, James had 1,036 all-purpose yards. The Wildcat has recently announced his commitment to West Virginia. Morgantown, you guys are getting a stud!
Jeremiah Compton
Free Safety
Camden County
Compton had himself a year last year. As a junior, Compton had 83 total tackles and 326 all-purpose yards as he was the Wildcat’s return specialist last season. Now as a senior, this 6’1” 185 pound athlete only looks to do bigger and better things.
Tramel Walthour
Defensive Tackle
Liberty County
Walthour was another Southeast Georgia prospect who blew up this offseason as he was flooded with several D-1 offers that include Georgia, Ohio State, Auburn, and Tennessee. With his senior season still ahead, we look forward to seeing the 6’4”, 277 pound defensive tackle help Liberty County continue their success in AAA
JP Palmer
Running Back/Free Safety
McIntosh County Academy
Palmer was one of the breakout stars last year for MCA and helped lead the Bucs to the State Championship game. Palmer had 1,273 all-purpose yards and 14 touchdowns last fall. Coming this fall, Palmer looks to grow and help MCA take one more step: the Class A State Title.
Jalynn Strickland
Offensive Tackle
Ware County
Strickland is another kid who has been on In The Game’s radar ever since he was in middle school. Fast forward four years, the Gator is a dominant presence on both sides of the ball. Recently, Jalynn has committed to take his talents to NC State and the Wolfpack is getting a good one.
Jaylen Jackson
Defensive Back
Brunswick
One of the surprise players for the talented Brunswick High Pirates is senior safety, Jaylen Jackson. Jackson, whose future seemed to be on the hardwood, is creating a buzz with recruiters on the gridiron. This offseason, Jackson snagged 16 interceptions in a 7v7 tournament. Expect big things for this defensive back (and guard) his senior year.
