Georgia Makes Extremely Early Push for Playmaker

Georgia Makes Extremely Early Push for Playmaker originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

It's never too early to make an offer on the recruiting trail, especially for a legacy player.

Tight end Asa Wall just finished his freshman year of high school. But On3's Jeremy Johnson reported Saturday that while participating in a 7-on-7 tournament in Athens, Georgia, the Georgia Bulldogs made an offer to the tight end.

Wall's father, J.T. Wall, played fullback for the Bulldogs from 2001-02.

“I’ve always been very interested in Georgia,” Wall told Johnson. “Growing up in Georgia, it’s hard not to be a fan…I have grown up listening to stories about when my dad played for Georgia.”

Wall also described how he received the offer from the Bulldogs.

“Coach Smart offered me between games at the 7 on 7, and I was grateful and excited, but I had to get back focused on the next game and compete with my teammates."

Wall's father may have gotten the tight end's foot in the door at Georgia. But Wall stressed that he will have to earn the rest of what his career could entail with the Bulldogs.

“They make you work for what you get, and it is not given,” said Wall, who added that he is already developing a relationship with Bulldogs tight end coach Todd Hartley.

If Wall committed to the Bulldogs, he would be the program's first prospect in the 2028 class. However, it's very early in the recruitment process for that class.

Recruiting websites don't even have their rankings out yet on players who will be entering their sophomore high school seasons this fall.

In his two seasons, J.T. Wall ran for 207 yards and three touchdowns with the Bulldogs. He also caught 11 passes for 105 yards and two additional scores.

Eagles coach calls out star player for being out of shape: ‘Both he and I have talked about that’

https://ift.tt/5x1sACw PHILADELPHIA — Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is still not in his best form yet. After getting ejected before the first snap in Week 1 for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott , Carter made his season debut in Philadelphia’s Week 2 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. As one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, Carter is expected to take over games, but that didn’t happen against the Chiefs. “He had some good rushes, but he needs to round into better shape,” Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said on Tuesday. “Both he and I have talked about that. He readily admits that. I think we’ll even get more (out of him). For everything that has gone on in his world, I thought he played pretty good.” Carter amassed two tackles and three quarterback hits, while playing 80% of the snaps. He has the talent to be more productive. Last year, Carter became an unstoppable force after ...

Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane ready to take on English rivals in Champions League

https://ift.tt/SwpIz0O Bayern Munich star Harry Kane cannot wait to hit the grass at the Allianz Arena to face off with Chelsea FC in the Champions League. “We back ourselves to beat any team at the Allianz Arena. It’s up to you [journalists] and fans to decide who are the favourites. We’re feeling very good right now. If we want to beat Chelsea, we have to perform at our peak. It will be a tough and great game. Chelsea did very well at the Club World Cup and right now in the Premier League,“ said Kane (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ). When asked about the statement made by Uli Hoeneß, Kane respectfully disagreed. “A club like Bayern always expects to win every competition. I wouldn’t say we’re underdogs, even though we’re playing against the best teams in Europe. Now begins a long journey, hopefully until May. I don’t want to look too far ahead. We want to be as high as possible in the league phase table. It all starts tomorrow,” Kane said. Harkening back to last season’s Champions...
