Auburn, Florida and Georgia offer 2020 WR

If you don't know the name Dazalin Worsham already — learn it.

The 6-foot-1, 160 pound sophomore wide receiver out of Trussville (Ala.) Hewitt-Trussville is smooth. He is on track to not only be one of the top prospects in his state, but one of the best in the South for 2020.

His recruitment has really taken off. Between the end of freshman year and the start of his sophomore year, a dozen schools offered him.

It all happened a little faster than he expected.

"I am up to 13 offers and it feels great," said Worsham. "Once it got started, it went quick and the offers came in one after another. It is what I was waiting on. I did not know it would happen this quick, but it has been exciting."

Jackson State got it all started. Ole Miss was the first Power 5 offer on June 5th. The offers rolled in from that point. Duke, Maryland, NC State, Oregon and South Carolina offers came in.

Then Worsham closed out the summer with offers from Auburn, Florida and Georgia in a two day span. He camped at all three in just over 24 hours, and he showed enough to earn the offers.

Each SEC school impressed him with something.

"I started with Florida and it was my first time there," said Worsham. "I liked everything that I saw there. The atmosphere was great and I got great feedback from the coaches.

"Coach [Jim] McElwain and coach [Kerry] Dixon (wide receivers) talked with me while I was there and they really liked me. Me and coach Dixon have developed a good relationship now and I really like him.

"The visit was great for me. I got to meet the coaches, see what it was like down there and I really liked it a lot."

From Gainesville (Fla.), the man with the hair headed north to Athens (Ga.). He would leave his first visit to Georgia with an offer from the Bulldogs.

"I worked a lot with coach [James] Coley (wide receivers) and he is great. He has a lot of energy, he is fun to work with and I liked him a lot.

"Other than coach Coley, Georgia's facilities really stood out to me. The facilities there are top notch and it is a school I like."

Worsham headed back to his home state after spending a few hours at Georgia. It was his first time on the Auburn campus next and when his visit there ended, he was all smiles.

"I always grew up thinking about the Alabama-Auburn rivalry, so to get the offer was pretty big for me," said Worsham. "I like their offense, the campus is nice, Auburn being a home-state school made it pretty big.

"My coach [Josh Floyd] having a strong relationship with coach [Gus] Malzahn made it even more special too. They have known each other for a long time from their days in Arkansas, so it is cool to have the Auburn offer."

The 2020 wideout is still "pretty open", but a handful of schools do stand out early. Worsham listed Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia and LSU as those schools.

He has already visited Alabama and Auburn for games this season. He will be at Clemson this weekend.

More offers will come his way and his name will spread nationally. It will only push him to be that much better.

"It motivates me really," said Worsham. "I always work, but I will work even harder to be on top. All those guys in front of me will keep me working. I want to be No. 1."
